Italia 80
"Italia 80" is not the title of a world championship or some anniversary, but of an amazing selection of items related to the very inventive Italian new music of the 1980s which we are happy to be able to offer through Soundohm. You will find anything from all sorts of new wave rock to the most experimental industrial music, from very obscure cassettes to acclaimed records, from the most underground fanzines to books on that scene from that period. This is one of the irregular sales of rare and not-so-rare 'vintage' items in single copies available for a limited period of time. Although all of the items here are incredibly in fantastic condition, we remind you to check the decription of the conditions carefully (most items here have a previous owner's stamp which doesn't 'bother' so much). Enjoy the results of that wonderful creative period in our beautiful peninsula and thanks for looking.
