PETRUS CASTRUS
“Ascenção e Queda”
LP 12”
Decca / Valentim de Carvalho SLPDY 3004
1978
Portugal
Record: Excellent
Cover: Excellent
This is the second and last LP from legendary Portuguese prog rock giants Petrus Castrus. Conceived as a true concept album, with brilliant theatrical possibilities, “Ascenção e Queda” was released after a five-year hiatus following the release of the much acclaimed and sought after debut LP “Mestre” (featured in Hans Pokora’s books). In the interim, two singles were released, and one more was recorded but never saw the light of day.
Among the guests in this album, you’ll find Nuno Rodrigues (one of the leaders of folk prog legendary outfit Banda do Casaco), while Fernando Girão also contributes to the compositions.
This copy of this great LP is in truly excellent condition but unfortunately doesn’t feature the inner booklet with lyrics. However, I should be able to provide the winner of this auction with a quality scanning of it.
Please contact me if you have any doubts or in case you should want to hear an mp3 excerpt of any of the songs.
