In the late 1960s and 1970s it was not uncommon for religious labels to release beat and soft RPI albums with Christian themes. One of the better ones from an RPI perspective is the delightful QUEL GIORNO DI UVE ROSSE, which Croce's site says was not a proper band but a collection of musicians assigned to recording the project. Not the name of a real group, Quel Giorno di Uve Rosse was in fact the title of a book by poet Alfredo Bonazzi, whose lyrics were transposed in music by Giuseppe Cappelletti with orchestral arrangements by Giacomo Dell'Orso. Released by the catholic book and music publishing company Pro Civitate Christiana on its PCC record label, the album had a very limited pressing and distribution and is a recent addition to many collectors' want lists.Musically speaking it's a soft-prog album, compared by many with Latte e Miele's Passio secundum Mattheum, with classical influences, male/female vocals and lyrics with a strong religious content.
