In the beginning of 1979 label MR released the 

album "Anno Demoni" in limited edition. The work consists of excerpts 

composed between 1969 and 1974. It can be defined as a collection of 

unpublished excerpts performed and recorded between 1974 and 1978 

with the contribution of the revived Tiring, with Albert Goodman at the 

percussion instruments and the electronic toms who died right after the 

Brno concert. "Anno Demoni" consists of 5 excerpts and is considered by 

the critics one of the most particular works of the band ANTONIUS REX. In 

1992 the Mellow Records label published the CD "Anno Demoni" 

docketing it by mistake as an observation of the band ANTONIUS REX by 

JACULA... In reality the original work is "Anno Demoni" by ANTONIUS REX 

labeled Musik Research only in vinyl. The contents though are equal.

ANTONIO BARTOCCETTI - music, vocal, guitar, bass

DORIS NORTON - music, vocal, piano, synth

ALBERT GOODMAN - drums

CHARLES TIRING - electric organ

COLIN COLDWEIS - electric violin

JACULA GROUP - Antonio Bartoccetti, Doris Norton, Charles Tiring

ANTONIUS REX GROUP - Antonio Bartoccetti, Doris Norton, Albert 

Goodman 

Whether the album was originally released in 1979, or whether the vinyl 

and CD issues from 1992 are the true originals, is a moot point. The 

band's own account of their history lists several albums (1969's "In 

Cauder Semper Stat Venenum", 1974's "Neque Semper Arcum Tendit Rex" 

and 1980's "Praeternatural") that have NEVER, to my knowledge, been 

encountered by anyone other than in their recent reissues. Nor do they 

sound like they date from the eras in which they were supposedly 

recorded. Has anyone encountered originals of these LPs, or copies of 

DORIS NORTON's supposed 1980 solo debut "Under Ground" or the 

album she and Bartocetti supposedly cut as FIREWITCH during the 

eighties? I would be fascinated to know!
