Roma, 17/11/2018 – Maurizio Baiata
Sono passati oltre 45 anni da quando compilai questa “Discografia Consigliata” pubblicata sul settimanale musicale Ciao 2001 n. 39 del 1 ottobre 1972 e n. 41 del 15 ottobre 1972. Nel selezionare gli album degni di considerazione mi attenni ai miei gusti di allora, che in larga parte non corrispondevano alle preferenze che i miei colleghi, collaboratori e redattori della testata, avrebbero espresso.
Il Direttore, Saverio Rotondi, mi diede sin troppa fiducia, lo riconosco, ma questa discografia fu accolta abbastanza favorevolmente dal pubblico, segno che non era del tutto… campata in aria.
Posso riproporla grazie al prezioso lavoro del sito http://digilander.libero.it/ciao.2001 al quale rimando il Lettore come guida fondamentale per riscoprire le pagine di un settimanale che ha fatto la storia della musica Rock in Italia.
