MUSEO ROSENBACH - Zarathustra - EU Press - LISTEN - VERY RARE

This is an almost ideal, European replica of the original Italian edition from the label Ricordi in a gatefold sleeve. In my opinion this title, released in spring 1973, is the best progressive album ever recorded in Italy! Full stop. The music of Museo Rosenbach is a combination of the style of Jethro Tull, King Crimson, P.F.M. and Deep Purple with more than a pinch of Italian classical music. The 20-minute title suite simply overwhelms with its rich melodies, numerous changes of mood, inventive construction and the powerful sound of the instrumental parts (organ, piano, mellotron, guitars) - at moments close to the style of juicy, heavy rock. The remaining 3 tracks are practically in no way inferior to it. It is hardly surprising that vinyl collectors pay as much as 4000 euros for perfect, original Italian copies, though on the other hand the sum of 300 euros sometimes paid for the limited Sony reissue from six years ago is already a considerable exaggeration... A great advantage of this release is the very good sound quality - certainly better than the Sony version, as it is almost as good as the original (I own it, so I know)! The whole record can be listened to via a music file on YouTube - below. A MUST!
