ORIGINAL RARE ONE MANTOCRE DJ PROMO EX / EX OR BETTER.. SHORTENED NAME FROM Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso.In 1975, the band finally realised that they were too good to remain unknown outside the borders of Italy, and did what Premiata Forneria Marconi had done two years before them: signed a deal with Manticore and released a series of albums with English lyrics aimed at the international market. The name was also shortened to just Banco. The record consisted of tracks from the debut and "Io Sono Nato Libero" with English lyrics. The tracks from the debut had also been completely re-recorded, and were actually technically superior to the original versions. "Metamorphosis" had been extended with 5 minutes, and it revealed itself in this version as one of the band's definitive classics. Fans of classic, keyboard-based 70's progressive rock will eat this up. "Outside" (named "R.I.P." in its original version) sounds more mature and developed here, and both this and "Metamorphosis" benefits from the addition of synths that gave them a depth and atmosphere that the original versions lacked some of. "Non Ni Rompete" and "Dopo...Niente E' Piu'Lo Stesso" from "Io Sono Nato Libero" had been transformed into "Leave Me Alone" and "Nothing's the Same" and was mostly unaltered, except for the English lyrics of course. The band's signature-theme "Traccia II" was also included in both its original version and a new and quite spacey one called "Chorale". And let's not forget about the excellent bonus in form of "L'Alberto del Pane (The Bread Tree)". This was a great song in the classic Banco del Mutuo Soccorso style, and only available on this album. "Banco" is essential stuff for all fans of classic 70's progressive rock, and was in my opinion more interesting than Premiata Forneria Marconi's attempts at international albums. .SOME LPS MAY NEED A SWIPE....I AM NOT THE ONLY ANIMAL LIVING HERE...IF YOU NEED TO COMBINE FROM ONE WEEK TO ANOTHER...PLEASE EMAIL ME....GRADING CVR/DISC (- AND +) VARIABLES FOR MORE ACCURATE GRADING)...MOST GRADES ARE VISUAL UNLESS SPECIFIED AS PLAY GRADED

NEAR MINT- (NM-): A nearly perfect record. No obvious sign of wear. Looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap. Faintest, tiniest wisp of a hint of a suggestion of whiff of a sleeve mark allowable.

EXCELLENT: (EX): A superior record with no more than a wisp of a hairline, faint shadowing, or a superficial needle drag. None of these defects are glaring, and certainly do not affect play.

* VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+): Played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have light scuffs or very light scratches that might slightly affect, but do not overpower, one’s listening experience. Very slight warps that do not affect play are OK.

* VERY GOOD (VG): Many of the defects found in a VG+ record are more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise is evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during the song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.
