Label
GROG RECORDS
Grog label was formed by brothers Aldo and Vittorio De
Scalzi (from New
Trolls)
and supported their recording Studio G's activity.
It only released a handful prog-oriented albums, mainly by group from Genova
and Liguria. The singles production was more varied, and included many low-level
commercial artists.
This label and its groups were strictly connected with the other one from Genova, Magma records. Latte e Miele and Piero Montanaro released records on both labels.
All the albums were released in 1976 except for Sigillo di Horus made in 1977
