A five piece from Turin, Horus (not to be confused with Il Sigillo di Horus) never had the chance to release a full album, and their only record issue at the time was a beautiful single on the Shirak label (that had also released both albums by Living Life, also from Turin). The band had a good sound, with keyboards in evidence and nice use of vocals, but were probably too late, in 1979, to be successful. The single went unnoticed and their name has only reached a wider audience thanks to the Mellow CD including the recordings for an unreleased album.Horus backed Tito Schipa Jr. in his 1981 tour, from which the LP Concerto per un primo amore was taken. The group included, at this point two original members, Antonino Valenti and Beppe Bellussi, along with another keyboardist, Giuliano Miglietta, saxophonist Gigi Cavicchioli and drummer Benedetto Pizzuto. Another musician from Turin, Marcello Capra, ex-Procession, plays guitar on that record.
