Mario Molino & Duilio Radici "Holiday For Flutes"- RCA -SP 10047- 1973 JAZZ FUNK HOLY GRAIL!

  Wow you just don't get to hear library records this solid every day.  Usually I would stay away from any Library Record titled "Holiday For Flutes" cause well they tend to be very literal.  Luckily for us all this thing is anything but boring flute passages, what we get is mindblowing melody and beats including Mario Molino's signature guitar sound, Duilio Radici's organ & piano, Antonio Ferrelli's incredible Bass playing, Ciro Cicco's perfect drumming and Franco Battimelli & Nino Rapicavoli melodic flute.  As a musician this record is just so inspiring, I mean more thought and precision probably went into the first 2 minutes of this record than the latest "it" bands entire output.  Even though the moods change constantly within the same song the whole album feels like one solid feel good vibe.  The main thing that seems unique to me on this record is those drum breaks and fills, they are just so strange and perfect.  The first song, "Bubble Soap" is a perfect example of this and probably the best of the 10 songs.  Every song is a winner on here though and if you're a fan of Molino's work than I'm sure you'll be satisfied.   This record is near impossible to find as well as any RCA SP record.  I don't feel like sharing "this" record will hurt it's future resale value & potential (which I do wonder about often with my shares) because the good ones always sell in my experience, I would gladly pay the same price for this even if I had the MP3 before, it's the kind of record that sells itself, like drugs, HAHA.  So enjoy another one from my personal collection ripped @320K and don't forget to leave a comment.  Thanks, Chris Tillotson            GET IT HERE!

  2. Simply wonderful, thank you Chris.
    As you said, I'm completely satisfied as Molino's fan, and even more as a Rapicavoli's fan.
    Great.
    I completely agree with you when you talk about future resale value and potential of the ripped and shared records. I also think the good ones always sell. I would buy, no matter if I already own a digital copy or seen there's a copy floating around.
    Unfortunately, at the same time, many people think different, and this is the main reason why some absolute gems keep staying hidden for so long.
    Ah, how much I'd love to hear some of your max rare De Filippi's, but I understand they might be useful for some juicy trade.
    But I don't give up, you never know, the ways of the Lord are infinite...lol.
    For now, all my gratitude.

    1. Your welcome Greta, Yeah I hope you can understand why I can't share everything cause trading is the only way I can hear other unobtainable records I need, but I share what I can and appreciate your gratitude!

  6. Yesssss, this record is really excellent. I tried to buy the LP, but when I saw the price they went for in the past, I gave up..... simply out of my budget.
    So your generous share is the only way for me to enjoy this album. Thanks a lot!

    1. I feel your pain,I've given up on so many records for that reason. I'm not rich by any means, but I'm glad I could get this one and share it with people I know will appreciate it, cause like you said it didn't come cheap and many overtime hours I did have to work for this beauty.

  9. Listening to previously unobtainable sounds and 'Holly Grill' type LPs is always a rare, special treat.

    Thanks, Chris!

    1. I feel the same way Muff, most people that have this stuff just don't want to share it or are trying to make a considerable profit off of it, I am guilty of this as well but many times I will try to share the real good stuff cause it would be a shame for true library fans not to hear this.

  12. Well, I just discovered your blog. I'm digging the mountain of cool shares you have here and it is truly interesting, pretty unusual music indeed. I'm Italian and I am glad to see many Italian names around the titles, but also being a 80's child, I'm happy to discover all the anime records. Keep up the good job, you got an admirer overseas! Thanks a LOT! ciao, Al

    1. Thanks Al, I'm glad you were able to find some things you dug here. Italy is the home of my favorite music and I can't wait to visit there one day and see what it is about that part of the earth that spawned so much creativity.
