*Limited edition of 500 copies, handmade numbered edition.* Nearly half a century after its original release, Franco Battiato's seminal 1976 compilation Feed Back is receiving its first faithful vinyl reissue as a lavish double LP set. This collector's edition meticulously recreates the original release that captured the Sicilian maestro's radical early period, now presented on 180g marbled vinyl in a strictly limited numbered edition. Feed Back stands as a crucial bridge in Battiato's evolution from avant-garde provocateur to visionary composer, compiling reworked tracks from his first four groundbreaking albums (1972-1975). What makes this compilation extraordinary - beyond its historical significance - are the subtle but crucial edits applied to all tracks (except Plancton), creating unique versions that differ from their original album appearances. These nuanced variations offer devotees fresh perspectives on familiar works, while new listeners encounter Battiato's pioneering electronic experiments at their most distilled and powerful. The physical presentation honors the album's legacy with premium materials: the marbled vinyl reflects Battiato's fusion of precision and organic flow, while the faithful reproduction of original artwork preserves the compilation's distinctive 1970s aesthetic. For collectors, this marks the first opportunity to own Feed Back in its authentic form since its original limited pressing, which has become a sought-after items in Battiato's discography.

"These tracks represent the laboratory where Battiato formulated his alchemical blend of electronic minimalism, classical structure, and philosophical inquiry - the alternate versions on Feed Back aren't just edits - they're revelations, showing his relentless perfectionism even with already revolutionary material."

The reissue arrives amid growing international recognition of Battiato's early work, with contemporary experimental artists citing these recordings as foundational. From the hypnotic pulses of Aria di Rivoluzione to the cosmic wanderings of Beta, the compilation showcases the raw creativity that would eventually flower into Battiato's more accessible - but no less profound - later works.
