ORIGINAL 1970 FIRST PRESS
HEAVY-PSYCH BEASTIALITY!!!
FORMULA 3
DIES IRAE
ITALY - NUMERO UNO - ZS LN 55010
MONSTER STATUS COLLECTIBLE .... see condition below!
1970 first pressing of the mighty "DIES IRAE"...the first release by FORMULA 3 who were, at the time, Italy's leading psychedeic group, here's why:
"Dies Irae" is filled with a dark atmosphere, and as the drums beat slowly, a crushing wave of guitar & organ joins in with such amazing force, you'll recall something, a sound straight out of the first Black Sabbath album -- an intense otherworldly heavy here, a superb slice of doomy psychedelia. Put it this way, if you like heavy guitar chords & leads and wild pumping Hammond organ, ''Dies Irae'' will please you... an awful lot! A legendary album.... The groups varied mixes of moody visonary psychedelic and popsike grooves hold the listener throughout both sides. The album is quite different from the usual Italian offerings that flooded progressive scene in the early '70s, combining sledgehammer underground-60's styles amid melodic rock phasing. Check out their take on Left Banke's classic "Walk Away Rene" you'll get the idea as they turn the song inside out delivering a brooding heaviness riding on gushing Hammond organ. Elsewhere are tunes with infectious melodies, highlighted by harmony vocals, pulsating bass & harsh drumming and winning Hammond & guitar combinations.Overall, If ever you are into psychedelia, or heavy prog "Dies Irae" is an album that you'll need to own... Incidentally, the guitarist Alberto Radius made a monster $$$-rated solo album a couple years later (circa 1972) filled with flipped out distortion guitar leads.Dies irae (7:39)

CONDITION: The cover: The very fragile European cover is in GREAT shape, rated M- with fresh original colors, no delete marks, no bends, no writing and no split seams ... TOP collection worthy appearance ...
The vinyl: Too bad the record has been played a lot, rendering the visual VG- grade...while there are no jumps or skips, there is surface crackle throughout, but, since so much of the album is "heavy" you don't notice much in the background ...so plays accordingly, even enjoyable with the thought of not having to shell out the three figures$$$ the LP commands on the collectors market ... both 'Numero Uno' labels are clean
A GREAT ADDITION TO ANYONE'S COLLECTION !
