*Clear-Velvet Vinyl edition* A reissue of Cherry Five, the first and only homonymous work of the band, made by Claudio Simonetti, Massimo Morante, Fabio Pignatelli, drummer Carlo Bordini and singer Tony Tartarini. The album was recorded in 1974 but published only in 1976, a year before the official birth of Goblin and the worldwide success of "Profondo Rosso". In the original vinyl Simonetti and Morante were included as authors of the songs but not as performers. The record in question is a rarity today, sought after by many collectors. Cherry Five deliberately references English progressive bands like Genesis and Yes, with a strong presence of bass and keyboards. The entire album is sung in English. It is the first indisputable proof of the value of the musicians who put this band together, more than confirmed by their later careers.
