Album: Moby Dick (1973)(Remaster 2009 + 3 Bonus)
Genre: Hard Rock (Heavy/Blues/Prog Rock) / Italy
Moby Dick were formed in 1968, with bassist Enzo Petrone coming from I Volti di Pietra, a legendary group from Naples that never recorded anything and also gave birth to Osanna. Guitarist Toni Di Mauro and drummer Adriano Assanti had played with that group's singer, Lino Vairetti, as I Collegiali. They had a good live activity throughout their five-year career, having briefly in their line-up singer Marco Cecioni from Balletto di Bronzo and percussionist Toni Esposito who played on Alan Sorrenti's first albums and later had a good solo career. Always strongly influenced by British hard rock, and particularly devoted to Led Zeppelin, they managed to record an album at Olympic studios in London in 1973, but with no contracts it was never released until the Akarma issue in 2001. They had also recorded an earlier demo at RCA studios and three tracks from the rare acetate are included on a bonus EP coming with the Akarma album. Though very good musicians they could never reach an original style, sounding like a sort of Zeppelin clone in the English sung seven tracks LP. The three 1970 tracks, sung in Italian, sound a bit more original and closer to the early 70's Italian rock style, but it was their choice to sing in English that made the group refuse to record a demo for EMI, who wanted them to sing in Italian.
