CREAM
THE BLACK FIRE
197x VI.DI.ELLE Edizioni Discografiche 22 V.L. 029
This is the original Italian 1st pressing on V.D.L VI.DE.ELLE label 33 V.L. 029 , from circa early/mid 70s, with BLACK FIRE misspelled BLACH on sleeve. This LP is a coveted gem, holding a significant value of Lounge / Funk / Jazz / Brazilian fusion recordings within the Italian Library genre.
Experience a journey through supreme mood music, ranging from crispy wah-wah Funk and B-boy breaks to funky Lounge Jazz with vibrant bongos, congas, and mesmerizing flute solos. Explore the trippy synths galore, Fender Rhodes and spinet Bossa, alongside glittering piano arrangements, spaced-out loungy atmospheres accompanied by terrific proto-Hip Hop beats, and trippy cinematic jams like the inspiring Madlib/Freddie Gibs theme CREAM and the beatiful RELIEF, featuring the enchanting vocals of Edda Dell Orso. Indulge into the stunning cop Funk ALCOHOLIC, the infectious funky soundtrack theme from SQUADRA OMICIDI CHIAMA COBRA, an obscure Karate/Kung Fu gangster B-movie directed by Richard Scott, starring Jimmy Lee and Wan Ping. This LP encapsulates an abundance of incredible themes, including next-level Psychedelic Samba and Bossa grooves on tracks like STRAGGLER, RUSH, MISGIVING, and CORKING , while MAGNUM delivers more unbelievable up-tempo Hip Hop beats. It s no wonder this record has garnered attention from discerning Japanese DJs and collectors alike. Striking esoteric and Afro-centric sleeve artwork by the esteemed painter/designer G. Pinna. Italian Library booming production, coupled with a stoned Italian hippie/sleazy giallo thriller sound. Unmissable Italian Library banger
