Rare German pressed 1974 single

Italy’s leading progressive rock outfit of the early 70s, PFM would have remained a purely Italian phenomenon had they not been signed to Emerson, Lake And Palmer’s Manticore label. Their sound was more distinctly rooted in the pre-classical era than that of their Germanic counterparts. In addition to electric keyboards (synthesizers, etc.), they also relied on violin and flute (recorder, actually) as major components of their music. Their name, by the way, was short for Premiata Forneria Marconi, the name of the bakery that originally sponsored them. This was a band that never stood still or wanted to repeat themselves from one project to another. This single was released to promote their second international release, The World Became The World. The album itself showed a more aggressive brand of progressive rock and a bolder approach to playing – they were much more of a hard rock band on this album, which didn’t hurt them in finding an audience in the United States on the tour that followed. The A-side is from that album while the B-side featured a track recorded live in 1973.
