Notes

Released by the catholic book and music publishing company Pro Civitate Christiana on its PCC record label.
Recorded with the Orchestra Cinefonica di Roma and Il Coro Della Natività (Annarita, Francesca, Maria, Franco, Renzo & Tony).

In the late 1960s and 1970s it was not uncommon for religious labels to release beat and soft Italian Prog Rock albums with Christian themes. One of the better ones from an RPI perspective is the delightful QUEL GIORNO DI UVE ROSSE, which Croce's site says was not a proper band but a collection of musicians assigned to recording the project. The heavily religious lyrics were put to music by Giuseppe Cappelletti with orchestral arrangements by Giacomo Dell'Orso. The pressing was very limited and the album is a quite rare. To our knowledge it has not been released on CD though it probably should be. For now the album's two side long parts can be heard on YouTube. I was not able to find much on the key players behind the project, but bassist Mario Scotti was a session player with a long career. He passed away in Rome in 2001. (Progarchives)
