Description
Welcome to the "Super-Intellectual" apex of the Italian Progressive Rock movement. If you’re a curator of RPI (Rock Progressivo Italiano), this original 1973 Ricordi pressing of Io sono nato libero is the holy grail.
The Artifact: > This is the original arched die-cut "Shutter" gatefold. Unlike the common reissues, this 1973 masterpiece features the complex, functional door mechanism that opens to reveal the peering eyes—a triumph of 70s design.
Condition & Functionality: > * The Jacket: The shutter mechanism has been tested and moves smoothly without catching or tearing (see video for proof). The die-cut edges are remarkably well-preserved for their age.
The Vinyl: High-gloss Italian Ricordi labels. The vinyl is visually stunning and retains its original deep luster.
The Sonic Experience:
From the 15-minute epic "Canto nomade per un prigioniero politico" to the delicate "Non mi rompete," this album is a masterclass in symphonic complexity and Francesco Di Giacomo’s operatic brilliance. It out-muscles ELP and Genesis in sheer Mediterranean drama.
The Fiscal Guarantee:
We don't do "budget" shipping. This artifact will be double-padded and shipped with the vinyl housed outside the jacket in a poly-lined sleeve to ensure those delicate die-cut edges remain pristine during transit. This is an investment-grade copy for a serious collection.
