Straight from Goblin’s vast production archives, here is an exclusive collection of alternative versions, sometimes very different from the original tracks included in the official releases, of some of the band’s songs released from 1975 to 1982, from the legendary debut LP “Profondo Rosso” to “Tenebre”, passing through the extraordinary “Suspiria”, “Zombi” and “Phenomena” and the ‘hidden gems’ of “Patrick”, “Contamination” and “Buio Omega”.
“Rarities” is a new exclusive Record Store Day release whose alternative cuts highlight the sublime levels of creativity and compositional skills that the Goblin were gifted with, especially at the beginning of their career. Their sinister and gloomy atmospheres put the creeps, now as then, thanks to a timeless music that has inspired and still influences an impressive number of artists, from the 1980s to the present day!
