Premiata Forneria Marconi - Per Un Amico (1972, Numero Uno, DZSLN 55155)

This record brings back lots of memories. PFM were one of the best Italian progressive rock bands of the 70's and helped define a genre, Rock Progressivo Italiano (RPI) that is still producing significant new bands today. For me Per Un Amico is their best, mixing all the best elements of symphonic prog from that time and something particularly Italian. I actually bought this album in Italy itself, while on holiday in Pesaro with my parents. I think that was in 1975 as I also purchased the Chocolate Kings single which was then just released. So it's pleasing that I have this classic album, which was actually obtained from its country of origin.
