Acqua Fragile scores another gem of an album with Mass-Media Stars, their second release. The record has six longish tracks and continues in the vein of their first LP. Co-produced by PFM and Claudio Fabi. Offered here is the rare original. Released in Italy on Dischi Ricordi in 1974, this comes with the inner sleeve with the lyrics. The cover is in M- (extremely close to being Mint) and the record is in Ex+ condition.
Their second album Mass Media Stars was from 1974 and also gained an US release, thanks to the English lyrics. Not dissimilar from their first but with a slightly better production, this contained six long cuts. At the end of 1974 keyboardist Joe Vescovi replaced Maurizio Mori after The Trip's split. He stayed in for some months and his presence is documented in the bootleg-quality Live in Emilia CD. But the strongest hit to the group's stability came when Bernardo Lanzetti joined PFM.
Highly recommended album. Wonderful symphonic rock alá early Genesis
