BIGLIETTO PER L'INFERNO "Same" ( Italian Prog 1974 )

This first album from “Biglietto Per L' Inferno” should please the Jethro Tull fans. Especially if, like me, you are keen on their harder side. Because this album is a well balanced mix between true and beautiful Italian prog and some hard-rocking scents.
Biglietto Per L’Inferno came from Lecco Italy in the early 70s and are most known for this collection on the heavier side of Italian prog. They employed dual keyboards here along with acoustic and electric guitars, flute, bass, drums and vocals with an Ian Gillan edge. While I don’t speak Italian I have read repeatedly that the lyrics on this album are impressive. Many people consider this one of the very best Italian titles.
The sound quality is often savaged by reviewers and while it is poor by today’s standard it is certainly listenable. I’ve heard much worse.
If you love Italian prog don’t let the sound quality criticism stop you if the album sounds to your taste.
