Story & Background
The "Desaparecido" of 1985, in its very first IRA pressing, is a fundamental chapter for Italian rock. Beyond the raw and avant-garde sound that defined the Florentine new wave aesthetic, the album's title itself was a very powerful declaration of intent. Chosen by Piero Pelù and Ghigo Renzulli, "Desaparecido" was not just a reference to the eponymous instrumental track that closes side A, but an explicit reference to the "desaparecidos" of the South American dictatorships, a silent cry and a political warning that few dared to address in the Italian mainstream of the time. This choice immediately conferred upon the band a depth and thematic urgency that elevated the record from a simple debut to a generational manifesto, making every copy of this edition a precious witness to an era of artistic fervour and social conscience.
