Breaking news - Essenza - Vite di Claudio Rocchi by Walter Gatti

 

At last!!!

Walter Gatti, a freelance writer, after an extensive research work, finished a long awaited book about an artist who gave to me and my generation so much!

Claudio lived many lives (as title suggests): he was a musician, a pacifist, a Buddhist monk, a Kossovo war volunteer for peace, a writer and he lived and loved without compromising.

A musician’s musician, a great inspiration for many, a lighthouse for me, for sure.

The book will be published, soon.

I wish to Walter the success he deserves for this effort, a true missing, untold story and definitely a labor of love.

Walter Wegmüller’s Tarot (1973)

 

A much welcome reissue of an iconic Krautrock masterpiece.

Only owned the double CD box-set… ‘til now!

This superb reissue also contains the tarot cards designed by author himself.

Original pressings are very scarce, often in awful conditions (you know: ‘70s party music 😏) and hideously expensive, fetching € 1K or more for a VG+ sampler 😱 .

Grab it as it will soon be a collector’s item… but most of all enjoy it his unique music.

ReVox A40 integrated amp (1961/65)

 

Lovely little amp, recalling ReVox G36’s aesthetics (the knobs)… 10W per channel with 4 x ECL86 tubes, premium Philips MiniWatt, of course.

Nice sounding, too 🎶
