An incidental meeting between the band and Greg Lake led to the signing of PFM to the Manticore label owned by Emerson, Lake & Palmer, which started to issue English language version of the band's albums in UK (and US), in parallel to the release of the Italian language versions released in Italy. As a result, several of PFM albums exist in two different versions (and with different titles), creating quite a confusion among record collectors. This album is the first of these "twofold" releases and the band's 1st album released in UK. It is almost identical to the band's 2nd album "Per Un Amico", re-recorded with English lyrics written by Pete Sinfield, who also produced the album. PFM consisted of keyboardist Flavio Premoli, guitarist Franco Mussida, violinist / flautist Mauro Pagani, bassist Giorgio Piazza and drummer Franz Di Gioccio. Among them they possessed incredible instrumental powers, compositional ability and vocal delivery and harmony, which was almost unparallel with any other Prog group at the time. Long and complex instrumental passages, performed mostly on keyboards, quiet contemplative moments of gentle flute and deeply melodic and harmonic compositions and arrangements turned their albums into Prog heaven.   WHY NOT CHECK OUT MY EBAY STORE -
