PICCHIO DAL POZZO Abbiamo tutti i suoi problemi
L'Orchestra Italy OLPS 55013
LP 1980 single cover, multi-color printwith lyric insert; bonus 7" flexi single

This is by far their rarest item as most copies around seem to have lost it. : this first album was released by De Scalzi's label Grog, one of just five releases on this collectible label, with help from various artists from Genova such as Vittorio De Scalzi, Ciro Perrino and Leonardo Lagorio from Celeste, Renzo "Pucci" Cochis from Jet.
Often described like a sort of italian Canterbury sound, their first album includes an original blend of different sounding, based on keyboards and horns, with surrealistic lyrics and vocal effects. Interesting and intriguing, the album is worth a listen, and is very far from everything else in the italian prog field. An outstanding record, with some audible Zappa influence, but this in passing, Picchio had a unique and highly developed style of composition that was not only out of step with it's own time but which sounds contemporary still. Highly composed and devoid of jazz phrasing and riffs with solos, this record achieves maximum musical effect with minimum instrumental means through close attention to timbre, dynamics and expressed tempi and a kind of deep complexity that sounds simple but changes with each listening. Rich and strange; a lot of ideas subtly developed rather than experimented with; in fact a one-off classic

Condition (visually graded): cover has some noticeable aging and wear, even if it's still in shrink, vinyl looks clean and excellent almost never played
