In spite of supposition that the mysterious Carlo Degani may have been Paolo Tofani (as he composes all the tracks, some also known on from I Califfi and Electric Frankenstein albums) Degani was in fact a singer from various Verona beat bands in the 1960s, best-known as as lead singer with I Condors. The album, which was recorded in March/April 1974 and intended for release on the Cramps Records label, was for mysterious reasons shelved and remained unreleased until the first 1990s CD issue. o Carlo Degani (vocals, percussion, ex-I Condors) o Nanni Civitenga (guitar, ex-Raccomandata Ricevuta Ritorno & ex-Samadhi) o Marcello Todaro (guitar, ex-Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso) o Giorgio Piazza (bass, ex-Premiata Forneria Marconi) o Giorgio Santandrea (drums, ex-Alphataurus) + Paolo Tofani (composer of all tracks; Area & ex-I Califfi guitarist)
