THE PAWNSHOP
by BREAN / RASKOVICH / KEMA
supported by 6 fans who also own “What A Way To Die”
Weird and unnatural use of English aside, "The Telegraph is Calling" makes for one heck of a psych single, recorded without fanfare by Piero Umiliani and featuring himself as well as Alessandro Alessandroni, making this a landmark meeting of Italian soundtrack composers - yet released solely as a nondescript 45 rpm by the Italian Production Library label Roman Record Company (RRC) in 1971.

Just magic. Vini Reilly was a brilliant musician and a true artist. I was so surprised to hear some of these pieces on "The Bear" series recently, so I guess his popularity is growing. Like the late Mark Hollis, it's a shame that the greater appreciation of his work is of no further use to him, personally.
