** 2024 Repress, Yellow Vinyl **The Capsicum Red were a group of Italian progressive rock formed in 1970. The name Capsicum Red was chosen by the producer Pino Massara when he discovered Canzian, singer and guitarist of the Prototypes, and took him to the new label Bla Bla in 1970. To attract the interest of the press, the Capsicum Red were presented as a foreign group, and this caused some success for the first two 45 rpm.
The group disbanded in 1973, when Red Canzian went for a short time in Osage Tribe and then the Pooh, and Paul Steffan formed the country-inspired duo Genova & Steffan releasing an album in 1975.
