Molto Lontano (A Colori)
Beautifully packaged reissue of one of the best psychedelic albums ever made. Originally an Italian album issued in a very limited run in 1967 which is now one of the most expensive European psychedelic albums. Musically there’s one long freaked out track on side one which sounds like a cross between Arcadium and the first Ash Ra Tempel LP, great stuff. Side two is five shorter tracks in the same completely tripped out vein.
Packaged in a very thick glossy card gatefold sleeve with a booklet of photos and drawings attached to the inside of the gatefold, includes a great colour photo of the dimly lit band on stage looking a lot like the Velvet Underground. Inside there’s a thick vinyl record with great sound quality and and insert giving the history of the record in English on one side and Italian on the other. All in superb condition.

Condition: Sleeve
The usual high quality Akarma package. Super thick card gatefold with a glossy finish containing a booklet of photos and drawings of the band attached to the centre of the gatefold.
Both front and rear sleeve are in pretty much flawless condition. They’re both very clean, no ears, no writing, no creases, no ringwear or any other type of wear or damage. Really nice!
Inside the gatefold and the booklet are just perfect.
All seams are totally unworn.
The spine is wide and clean, totally unworn with all of the writing clearly readable.
The open edge is clean and sharp with no tears or feathering.
All four corners are sharp and well defined.
Just a beautiful condition copy of a beautiful sleeve.

Condition: Record
The record itself is also in beautiful condition. The usual top quality Akarma vinyl which is extremely clean with a nice dark sheen and obviously hasn‘t been played much at all. No visible surface marks at all when viewed in normal light, when examined under a very harsh lamp then still no surface marks are revealed.
Both labels are extremely clean with no hint of any damage or defects of any kind.
When played the disc is just as good as it looks, the sound is crisp and clean with a very wide dynmic range which benefits from being played at high volume. Actually the insert gives instructions that the long track on side one should be played while watching the television with the volume turned down, haven’t actually tred that but the next time Coronation Street’s on I think I’ll give it a go. Anyway however you listen to it the disc plays beautifully with no unwanted surface noise anywhere which could spoil your enjoyment of the tremendous music. No groovewear, no distortion, no pops, clicks or crackles, no jumping or sticking. Just superb music superbly presented.
Original copies of this album are impossibly rare and extremely expensive on the rare occasions that they do turn up, this reissue is the best quality possible but even this is rarely sighted these days as the people who bought it when it came out don't sell them so if you let this one go who knows when you'll see another copy, especially in this sort of condition.
Payment by cheque preferred from UK buyers but paypal is available if necessary, overseas buyers must use paypal. Sorry but I will not post anything to Canada under any circumstances.
