Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over +22,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

- ORIGINAL 1971 LEGENDARY PROGRESSIVE ..|/\|...............................................|/\|..
- FORMULA 3
- ..|/\|...............................................|/\|..
- "Italy"- Dischi/NUMERO UNO- ZSLN 55.013 stereo
The second (self titled) album by Formula 3 was released in 1971 on the Numero Uno label with a confirmed line up featuring Tony Cicco (drums, percussion, vocals), Gabriele Lorenzi (Hammond organ, vocals) and Alberto Radius (guitars, vocals).
As its predecessor ("Dies Irae") the album was produced by Lucio Battisti but this time all the songs were signed Battisti-Mogol and interpreted by the band. The overall sound mainly draws on psychedelic rock and Italian melody, overall is catchy with appealing instrumentation (guitar/Hammond organ) yet different from the grandstanding by other "Italian prog" groups of the same period, while still using compact adventurous interplay's.
The long opener "Nessuno Nessuno" ("No One No One") is a good strong blending of hard rock, psychedelia and Italian melody. The music and lyrics evoke a foggy motorway landscape... The protagonist is driving his car and the visibility is scarce, every now and again he can see the lights of other cars coming from behind and surpassing him, then vanishing into the white... He stops for fuel at a service station, pays and resume his journey through the Po Valley feeling lonely and sad...
"Tu Sei Bianca, Sei Rosa, Mi Perderò" (You Are white, You Are Pink, I'll Get Lost) is a straightforward rock blues track with a nice organ work and lyrics about an irrepressible, haunting passion. A man is trying and trying again to get the woman he desires, who is driving him mad...
The melancholic "Vendo Casa" (I'm selling my house) depicts a desperate man in a house that is a mess, a man who is crossing a period of deep crises on the account of a broken relationship while the following "Eppur Mi Son Scordato Di Te" (And yet I've forgotten you) is a carefree song that was very successful as a 45rpm release and tells of a man cheating on a woman and when caught desperately tries to find justification for what he defines is just a game, a distraction...
"Un Papavero" (A poppy) depicts a beautiful, independent girl who takes each day as it comes and whose romances do not last long, like a flower, a beautiful poppy...
Then comes "Il Vento" (The Wind) that tells of a man who wakes up early to steal out of his house and escape from a relationship that for him is over. He feels that when the wind begins to blow you can't stop it, so he's leaving his woman and his past behind him with a pinch of regret but determined to search for new adventures...
"Mi Chiamo Antonio Tal Dei Tali E Lavoro Ai Mercati Generali" (My name is Antonio and I Work At The General Markets) ends the album with a rock blues flavor and every now and again recalls Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix. It tells of a man who works hard at the general markets unloading boxes of fruits in the rain and when he comes back home finds out that his woman denies him of any peace...
On the whole, a good collection of rock songs featuring adventurous Hammond organ and guitar highlights through each original track.
