Description
2015 reissue, 12″, Best Record Italy.
A near-mythical release from the Italian composer/bassist/karate don Pino Presti, Shitan was a one-off project in 1977. Slow, pensive, full of tension and loaded with detailed cinematic elements, it still sounds forward-thinking today. No surprises that the original 12″s regularly go for hundreds. Madly the long version never made it to the original 12″ so this is the first time the full five minute version has been available. As if a repress wasn’t enough reason to jump on this! – Juno
