Charly Antolini – Countdown (Vinyl LP)

Charly Antolini – Countdown is a 1980 direct-to-disc recording, made in July 1980 at Tonstudio Bauer in Ludwigsburg. Drummer Charly Antolini lets the drums do the talking with guests like Wolfgang Schmid and Nippy Noya, from the Drum Symphonie on side A to the title track Count-Down. Thanks to the direct-cut process there are no edits and no overdubs – pure live energy with audiophile sound.

On offer is the 1980 German original pressing on Jeton (100.3313) as a limited direct-to-disc edition.
