E. A. POE - Generazioni (Storia Di Sempre) [1974]

Edgar Allan Poe or E A Poe was formed in 1972 by Giorgio Foti (vocals and keyboards), Beppe Ronco (guitar and mandolin), Lello Foti (drummer, only 14 at the time!), and Marco Maggi (bass). They played covers and originals for years in and around Milan before catching a break in 1974. They met a producer who agreed to record them and in September 1974 they checked into Trevisan Recording in Milan. The band had no recording experience and only three days to record their music. While they naturally would have liked more time to polish up their work, they managed to create something quite viable considering they were learning on the fly.
Poe was tricked out of their copyright by a manager promising promotion and gigs, which of course never materialized. They chose the band name because they liked how it sounded, not out of homage to the author. Later they recorded their own version of the Jaws soundtrack but their lone album stands as their testament to progressive rock. While not the greatest Italian prog masterpiece it is a very solid RPI recording and one that should grace the collection of serious RPI fans. One of those "little known gems" to be sure. Progarchives
