Though I've owned the album for 30 years, I never had this in the top tier of Italian progressive albums (and admittedly it's a large tier). After all this time, I still managed a +1 listen recently. The older I get, the more I appreciate this unique sound. And while Corte dei Miracoli isn't likely to ever challenge the all-times greats, that doesn't mean it isn't exceptional when judged on its own merits. Anyway, I'm sure UMR's readership is well versed with this album. And if not - or you had forgotten about it - give it a fresh spin!
Ownership: LP: 1976 Grog; CD: 2003 Arcangelo (Japan). I have a long history with this album going back to first securing an LP copy at a record show in 1990 or so (and upgraded about 6 years ago). The mini-LP CD mimics the LP to the smallest detail. To the best of my knowledge, none of the reissues offer more than the album itself, so might as well go for the packaging design.
