Enzo Carella

Following the 40th anniversary edition of Barbara e altri Carella - the classic and hard to find Funk / AOR masterpiece by Enzo Carella - in September, it's now time for a due re-issue of Sfinge, its follow-up released in 1981 whose original edition usually sells on the second-hand market for prices even crazier than those of Barbara... Carella was an Italian singer-songwriter who is best remembered for his 1979 major hit Barbara, which won second prize at the Sanremo Festival. Once again, all the songs on Sfinge were written by Enzo Carella with lyrics by Italian poet Pasquale Panella under his Vanera alias. Panella got famous for his collaboration with Lucio Battisti, who - thanks to Carella's work - had the chance to get to know him. This undervalued piece of work was way ahead of its time to get the full attention it deserved back in the day. Finally available again after so many years since its creation, it comes as a 180 gram audiophile orange vinyl and includes an insert with lyrics.
