Alberto Radius

Founder member of Formula Tre and well respected session guitarist, Alberto Radius also had a good solo career following his band's split.

His first solo album, regarded as one of the Italian prog rarest though not particularly representative of the genre, was issued in 1972 when Formula Tre were still active, and was a sort of jam session with important Italian musicians of the time, including Franz Di Cioccio from Premiata Forneria Marconi and Area's Demetrio Stratos and Giulio Capiozzo along with Gianni Dall'Aglio and Vince Tempera that were later with him in Il Volo. The album was produced by Lucio Battisti under the fantasy name of Lo Abracek

Later works were halfway between pop and rock, with Nel ghetto from 1977 being a successful single.

The first solo album by Alberto Radius is very rare and in many collectors' wantlists. Strange, because Numero Uno releases were never very limited, but probably this sold poorly at the time.
The album has been reissued on CD in March 2003 by BMG with mini-LP cover and obi, as part of their "Dei di un perduto rock" series, and later repressed in October of the same year when a second batch of those CD's came out.
The CD was announced by BMG as being also available with standard jewel case (cat.no. 74321-98505-2) but was probably never issued in this form.
The first Italian vinyl reissue was released in 2008 by BMG, in a limited numbered series.
