Artist
ROBERT GENCO
Drummer from Calabria, Roberto Genco recorded and
privately released his only album, Beyond the life (Oltre la vita) in 1977.
With an excellent technical and recording quality, considering it's a private
production, the LP is in the jazz-rock style, and contains five long tracks with
English lyrics, sung by Genco himself, helped from very good musicians like
guitarist Giorgio Cocilovo and sax and flute player Hugo Heredia.
A very nice record, sadly little known, that strongly deserves a CD reissue.

RG Production (RG 35000) | 1977 (?) | both unreleased tracks |
A rather rare record, probably only issued in limited
pressing, Beyond the life has never been reissued
on vinyl or CD.
The LP exists in two different issues, the first one on Genco's own label, RG Production,
the second for the PG label, owned by singer Peppino Gagliardi and distributed by Durium.
It's likely that the album has been first issued in private pressing, and later
with the Durium
distribution.
The covers of the two issues have small differences on front, while the back
cover is black for the first one, and red in the second pressing, both with the
lyrics.
No counterfeits exist, nor foreign pressings.
