With the reissue of ''Magic" the circle of the works originally published by Eyes Records and composed in the earliest 80s by Celso Valli is completed: Future State, Blue Gas and now precisely Five Sinners !!!

Best Record thus creates ''the triplet'' of the Italo-Disco operas made by the immense musician from Bologna, who used various nicknames at that time - as the trend of the main Italian arrangers - feeling 'a certain shame' in making commercial pieces, songs that were danced in the discos. He hid under dozens of pseudonyms (Adal-Scandy, Azoto, Bulldog Lama, Sandon, Super Band....)

''Magic'' and ''Precious Lies'' kept hidden, almost buried for over 40 years (but with many followers abroad) now shine their own light!

Indeed, To further enrich this vinyl production by Claudio Casalini - in addition to the successful artwork of graphic designer Nerina Fernandez - there is the new captivating version of ''Magic'' (timing 6'20'') skillfully remixed by the talented Italian-Australian DJ-producer Dave Mathmos.

3 track album

1974 - 50 years ago !!!
I had recently finished flying with ALITALIA and almost tore up my ''Gente dell'Aria'' association card and went back to DJing full time.

Yet one last trip to London (after about 3 years of residence in the Swingin' Town) to return to Rome loaded with soul, funk and disco-music vinyls, most of them made in US and also with an important baggage of Anglo-Saxon rock.

However, at Jackie O' some musical genres were ''forbidden'', in the sense that the jet-set world did not wish to also be culturally involved with the music of the disc jockey, thus decreeing the now complete triumph of Barry White and his Love Unlimited Orchestra in the most important living room in Europe a few meters from Via Veneto, once again lush.
In addition to slow songs, especially those in French, Brazilian music was still going strong (Jorge Ben on the shields). I managed to pass some excellent slow songs by Roy Buchanan ("Sweet Deams" and Deep Purple ("When A Blind Man Cries"), while pieces by Creedence Clearwater Revival as ''Have You Ever Seen the Rain'' or ''Molina'', Electric Light Orchestra (''Last Train to London'' and ''Evil Woman'') and other rock-pop groups were allowed.

All this to frame the 'situation' in the 1974 and in my case it has little to do with the ''Villa Pamphili concerts'', of how the bands were perfecting and evolving their style, without having to follow any fashion, but only their own instinct and talent.
Who do I remember most? Joe Vescovi of whom November 28, 2024 will mark the 10th anniversary of his premature and unjust death.
