40 minutes of classic Italian, keyboard-led psych/prog - live in concert

London Underground were formed in December 1998 in Florence by Gianluca Gerlini (Hammond, piano, Mellotron), Daniele Caputo (vocals and drums) and Marco Piaggesi (bass), although the origins of the band stretch back to the classic Italian progressive rock band Standarte (if you don’t already know it, please check out Standarte’s version of ‘Queen St. Gang’ for starters).

The band began by recreating the British underground/psychedelic sound, with a touch of 60s rhythm & blues, based around the Hammond sound that Brian Auger and George Fame are synonymous with; even the band name was intended to pay homage to the amazing music that was played in London during the late 60's. 25 years on, and despite a few changes of personnel along the way, Gianluca and London Underground remain true to that sound.

We were finally able to get the band over to the UK last year, to headline the Fruits de Mer summer get-together in Wales – the 19th Dream of Dr. Sardonicus Festival.
They went down an absolute storm and if you give this album a listen you’ll appreciate why – they were just bloody wonderful. We hope they will be back over to the UK very soon, but meanwhile we have 40 minutes of a great gig, on vinyl, to enjoy – classic instrumental psych/prog

PLEASE NOTE:

we produced a very limited run special edition, which we first sold at the 20th Dream festival, with the remaining copies being snapped up by UK club members - sorry, it wasn't possible to produce more, or ship any copies outside the UK (due to the size of the package)
