Story & Background
This first pressing from 1970 of 'Terra di Gaibola' is not just a record, but a true artistic manifesto, also thanks to its extraordinary cover. The artwork is the result of an unexpected and visionary collaboration between Lucio Dalla and Franco Bonvicini, the legendary Bolognese cartoonist known as Bonvi, the brilliant creator of the iconic Sturmtruppen. Dalla, being a true Bolognese, entrusted Bonvi with the task of capturing the essence of a deeply introspective and experimental album, which marked a clear break from his previous, more commercial productions. Bonvi responded with a disruptive and distinctive illustration: a caricatural portrait of Dalla with his ever-present saxophone, set in a dreamlike and almost fairytale landscape, which evokes the Bolognese periphery and a sense of melancholic reflection. This visual choice, so audacious and unconventional for the era, not only perfectly matched the innovative spirit of the record, but also helped cement its status as a cult work. The cover itself became a symbol of the most innovative and sought-after Dalla, making this edition an indispensable treasure for every vinyl collector who aspires to own milestones of Italian music.
