Guercia - Guercia figura goffa

A group active during the early 70's, La Guercia Figura Goffa, from the Ravenna area, had a good live activity but failed to release an album.
They only issued it in 1982, as a self-produced limited pressing, with old tracks re-recorded and the name shortened to Guercia on the cover.

The album has prominent use of keyboards and guitar, the eight tracks all have a good musical structure and competent playing, but the LP sounds probably a bit too distant from a 70's group, especially in the vocal and keyboards arrangements.

An interesting listen, the CD reissue is preferrable for the inclusion of some original recordings from 1973.

The band kept playing during the 80's, and still has regular reunions with some concerts by the original members since 2001.
Keyboardist Vittorio Bonetti has released a solo album in 2002, called Anime marine. He's been always active in the piano-bar circuit and had previously released other CD's with hits covers.
Drummer and singer Daniele Ferretti issued a CD in 2006 under the name Gil'O.
