Moby Dick - Moby Dick [LP] Italian hard-rockers who chased the dream to London in '73 and recorded a full album in the very same studio and with the very same engineer as Led Zeppe lin. Never released at the time, here it is in full hard-rock/proto-metal glory. Moby Dick were a fierce, English-singing rock band born in Naples in 1968, driven by zero compromises, and a motto that said it all: "no drugs, no bullshit -- just music." Blending Mediterranean fire with a hard-rock sound deeply inspired by Led Zeppelin, they carved out a reputation on the Italian live circuit before cutting a now-legendary, long-lost album in London in 1973. Formed in the Vomero district of Naples by guitarist Toni Di Mauro and bassist Enzo Petrone, the band came together with drummer Adriano Assanti and, after a relentless search, vocalist Sandro Coppola. Early rehearsals shook the walls of a tiny apartment, while their live shows -- explosive, chaotic -- earned them a cult following across Italy. They tore through clubs and festivals from Naples to Rome, Milan, and the Adriatic coast, known for wild performances, pyrotechnics, and sheer sonic power -- often for little or no pay. Backed by their loyal road manager Bruno and championed by promoter Maurizio Mauri, Moby Dick built their reputation the hard way: on stage. A1. Two Timing GirlA2. Free Wheelin CatA3. My FriendA4.
