PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING:
Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question.
 
OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us.  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.

Thank you for your interest and support.

MINTY CLEAN AUDIO
1972 first print

Alberto Radius first solo album - original September 1972 release, regarded as truly of the rarest Prog / hard psych Lp's and highly sought as a result; virtually never turning up.
The Lp was issued in micro-quantity, while his FORMULA 3 band was still a major force in the Italian prog-rock scene.

Recorded on July 3, 4, 5 and 6 in 1972 as jam sessions along with prominent Italian prog stars including pre-"AREA" members,and  Premiata Forneria Marconi
\.
The album was produced by fellow band mate Lucio Battisti under the fantasy name of Lo Abracek.

During the recordings of this album, the idea of ​​founding a group, and "Area" was born by the three musicians from the Radius album in which they performed.

The RADIUS album is essentially a heavy-guitar showcase in which one can appreciate the skills, flexibility and artistic openness of Albert Radius who performed so mightily on the first "DIES IRAE" (Grapes Of Wrath) FORMULA 3 album around the same time of this LP. 

The RADIUS album opens with a clearly Hendrix-ian assult ("Rock n° 1"), and follows immediately into a heavy standard blues groove ennobled by the voice of (AREA) Demetrio Stratos ("To The Moon I'm Going"). The façade closes with a psychedelic solo ("Radius") and the action is re-opened with the Battisti's "Before And After The Box" in which Battisti's intervention is evident along with "Area's" syncopated improvisations intervening in the basis of their tight cohesion. The amusing "My Dog ​​Is Called Zenone" closes in which, in addition to Radius, stands out in the extraordinary skills of future IL VOLO (Radius band mate) Vince Tempera and the powerful rhythms by Ellade Bandini.

This album was overlooked in 1972 at the time of release, then when the Black Sabbath / Hendrix influences became so popular, this album became highly sought, yet unavailable; great difficulty to be found... $400-$500+ value not uncommon
