I Boom Original 1973 Italian Prog Progressive Lp On Smash Pokora

I Boom I Boom Mega rare 1973 italian pop prog album, only released in a small amount of copies and almost impossible to find Here are some infos about the band from the excellent Italianprog website: I Boom were a 60 s beat band from Rome who released their only album only in 1973.
In their early days the singer and bass player was Vittorio Lombardi and the group, then known as Boom 67 played often at the Piper Club opening for foreign acts like Pink Floyd, Spencer Davis Group and Small Faces, then taking part in the Cantapiper 1969 tour with the name changed to Boom 69 .
The sound is beat inspired and like similar bands Il Mucchio, I Raminghi is closer to the sixties s sound than to prog atmospheres, but with an excellent use of synths The album only carries the musicians nicknames Alan, Deni, Marcello, Bracco so the story of this band has been hard to document.
The opening Luce e vita, Improvvisamente notte and the long and more complex Il padre sono io with an instrumental keyboard part reminding of some 70 s bands are the best moments of an album that would at least deserve a CD reissue.
After playing in the USA for a while the group broke up and three of its members drummer Viola, guitarist Deni and singer/bass player Alan Farrington formed around 1975 Paco Andorra, a melodic pop group that issued many singles and one LP.
