Using elements of psychedelia, avant-garde, improvisation and underground, 'Dedicato A Le Stelle Di Mario Schifano' ('Dedicated To....) is without a single doubt a unique record. And it's really surprising to know that its creators were from Rome, and that it was released in 1967, the same year as 'The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn' and 'Sgt. Pepper's'! Mario Schifano was not a musician, but a visionary exponent of Pop Art, a sort of Italian Andy Warhol, who wanted to integrate his work with a group, providing the psychedelic visuals in support of live performances. The meeting between Schifano and the four musicians resulted in a handful of live concerts, a 45rpm and this album. At the time of its release almost no-one in Italy had ever heard something like it, unless he had flown to England to soak up the atmosphere of the Swingin' London.
One of the rarest Italian LP of all times now appears on CD, presented as a papersleeve edition.
