Picchio dal Pozzo can be considered as the definitive "Canterbury" inspired band, coming from Italy's 1970's progressive rock scene. Their 1976 debut album shows an incredibly rich sound texture, made out of some peculiar musical ingredients. Oblique tunes and liquid harmonies, airy flutes, crispy horns, loads of electric piano, fuzz bass, drops of jazz,  pop romanticism, waves of minimalism, and pataphysical vocals and lyrics. The whole album develops through a sequence of finely composed material and wide open sound choices. A deep journey through a multi layered soundscape with echoes of Hatfield and the North, Soft Machine, Robert Wyatt, Zappa.

PDP's first work was originally released on Grog Records and subsequently reissued only in Japan.

(Grog Records: an independent label, known for releasing the work of Italian underground pop groups of the Seventies, such as Corte dei Miracoli, Latte e Miele, and Celeste) "One of the most original, impressive and highly respected of all the experimental groups to have come out of Italy in the 1970s" - Chris Cutler. 180 gram LP with printed inner sleeve.

Sealed LP Inspection Service

Since our items are factory sealed we cannot be fully responsible for the condition of the invisible part, unless you ask us to inspect it.  Just let us know by writing INSPECT in the note to seller box when paying via PayPal.


Incorrect, defective, or damaged product is very rare, but if there is something wrong with your record that could only have been seen by our inspection, and you did not request it, we will not be responsible for the cost of shipping the faulty product back here, or for the shipping of a replacement item to you.  We will replace the faulty item, as long as you pay for these freight costs.

Also, many LP buyers prefer to have the disc shipped outside the jacket to minimize damage to the jacket.  If you have requested that we inspect the disc, then we will pack it outside the jacket.

International Customers

We enclose an actual invoice with your shipment and do not falsify customs valuations.

Please Note: Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying.
