PIERO UMILIANI / M. ZALLA - PAESAGGI / 1980 COVER:
One of my favourite Umiliani-albums, composed under the pseudonym M. Zalla and backed by I Marc 4. Very dreamy and drowsy vibe with melodies to die for, listen to "Risaie", "Ciliegi In Fiore" and "Pianure D'Asia". Reissue, this version uses the cover from the 1980 pressing on Ciak Record.

PUCCIO ROELENS - RESEARCH OF SOUND:
Very sought-after and consistent Italian library album with a sound not too far from the legendary "Feelings" (no wonder as Puccio Roelens in fact composed some of the tunes on "Feelings"). Check "The Taste Of Repeat", "A Silliness Song" and "Splash Down". 2021 reissue.

RICHARD CAITON - LISTEN TO THE DRUMS / YOU LOOK LIKE A FLOWER:
Mid-60s New Orleans soul from a man that has a strong following in rare soul circles. The A-side has a bouncy NOLA beat, but the mellower flipside is my pick. Reissue.
