^ Yes Julien, that all looks pretty good to me, and you've done it in damn quick time too! I thought checking all that lot would tie you up for an hour or more at the very least! Don't know whether you want to go a bit further and add in some more reissues (eg the two 'Garden of Delights' German reissues of the fourth album "Minne" in 2008 and 2015), but that's just a minor matter really, now that everything else has been put right.

^ Does the "Instrumental Impressions" album actually meet the criteria for inclusion on PA? It's on bandcamp, and on YouTube as a playlist, with the YouTube audio supplied by the Devega Records label who originally issued the album on vinyl in 1972. However the Sonorama Records bandcamp page for the album says "Lost classic for the collectors of Italian Library Funk: One of the most sought after cult LPs on the tiny Devega label from Milan, produced in 1972 for license purposes only".
If permitted on the site despite this apparent restriction with the original release, would it go in here as a studio album, or in the Official Singles, EPs, Fan Club & Promo category?

^ Seems official enough to me. My guess would be to add it to the "Fan Club" category.
Maybe Eugene will share his opinion too?
I'm listening to it right now. Pretty good, although not very "prog"... |

^ I don't hear any prog in it either lol! Interestingly, Devega Music Publishing have put the full album on its own YouTube channel as a single upload just 6 days ago - complete with links below it to purchase on Amazon and Apple Music - or listen to on Spotify, so it seems to be generating some interest just now for whatever reason. I only became interested in the band myself after Zap Niles played a track of theirs on his recent 'Prog-Scure Special' podcast entitled "Rock 'n' Women #2".
I'm unsure what this site's policy is towards albums of music that are recorded specifically by a band so that the material can be licensed to organisations for use in film, television, radio and other media rather than sold in the usual way to fans of the band, so I'll wait and see what Eugene has to say on the matter before I add the album to PA. Edit: There was a thread about library music by prog artists started in July 2015, but I'm none the wiser after reading through it. Francis Monkman and Anthony Phillips were mentioned, since both have done a load of this type of material, but it doesn't look as though much (if any) of Ant Phillip's stuff has been added to PA apart from the "Missing Links" series, and Francis Monkman was suggested for inclusion here in July 2021, resulting in him being taken to the PSIKE team for evaluation as a Progressive Electronic candidate, but he doesn't seem to have been added yet. I can't check up on the status of the evaluation on progfreak 'cos that site is in disarray right now as far as the PA section is concerned.  A webpage giving details of Ant Phillips's library music can be found here: https://www.genesis-news.com/c-Anthony-Phillips-Recording-Compendium-Special-Library-Music-s826.html, but the "Missing Links" series that is included in his PA discography isn't listed here in the timeline of his library music releases, although it is mentioned in the introductory paragraph.

^ So I think David can add it. There's another question though. Year of release seems unclear. Some say 1972, others say 1976...

^ It's just a comment, while sonoramarecords.bandcamp page reads:
" One of these worldwide hunted cult albums from Italy is called "Instrumental Impressions" and appeared on the obscure Devega label from Milan in 1972" I'd say 1972.

^ I read that comment before - and dismissed it - since both the Discogs website itself & Sonorama Records who reissued the album on LP and CD in 2012 both state the original release as 1972. I therefore added the album with this date as the original release, using the timings from the Discogs page.
Since then, I have followed the Spotify link given on the Devega Music Publishing YouTube upload of the full album, and the release date there is given as 1974! Since this was the label which originally released the album, it is probably the most reliable source of all those that we currently have. Furthermore, Hans Lingenfelder, who played guitar on the album, wasn't a member of the band for their first three albums (1970 -73), only featuring on the 1975 album "Minne" and this one, so the Instrumental Impressions album couldn't have been recorded or released in 1972 by the looks of it! I'd be tempted to go for 1974 to be honest, as it is quite possible that Hans Lingenfelder had joined the band by then, and this date appears to come direct from the horse's mouth (℗ & © De Ferrari & Devega srl as seen on Spotify's page for the album). Please amend my entry as you feel is best based on the current info we have, but I'll try messaging Devaga on facebook to see if someone will look into this properly for me and confirm the actual release date of the album.

^ OK so I changed it for 1974. https://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=77862
Come back to us if you have a definite answer from the label. Thanks!

^ I messaged them with all the details. The facebook page doesn't get many posts, but was active on December 19th 2022, so fingers crossed! How strange that several sources that you would expect to be reliable seem to have gotten this date wrong!
Edit: Of course, Hans Lingenfelder's guitar could have been added during the remastering of the album in 2012, so the 1972 original date might yet be correct, and if you haven't already done so, open up the more button on the Sonorama Records bandcamp page. Some very detailed info there, which suggests that it is highly unlikely that they have got the original date wrong. RYM says the album was recorded in 1972 and released in 1974, and my gut feeling is that this is actually the correct story. Check this search link on Popsike.com, and you'll see that the majority of listings give the release date as 1974, and the Devega Records catalogue number of DVG-STL 7410, suggests 1974 too, so it's just the recording date that seems to need confirming now.

^^ Makes sense. Though it's also possible that it was recorded in 1972 and Hans Lingenfelder is mistakenly pointed on CD reissue (original LP cover doesn't list the line-up). Anyway, let's keep it as a 1974 release.
Thanks, changed Minne date.

^ I just found out that Sonorama Records bandcamp page contains the whole text of CD liner notes.
A couple of contradictory qoutes: ""Instrumental Impressions" and appeared on the obscure Devega label from Milan in 1972" "With the last "Joy Unlimited" guitarist Hans Lingenfelder - who is also featured on "Instrumental Impressions"..." It's unlikely that Hans Lingenfelder added his guitar parts for 2012 CD release. At least nothing is said about it in the liner notes. So 1974 looks like a correct recording and release year.

^ There's a feature all about Joy Unlimited here: https://daily.redbullmusicacademy.com/2015/12/joy-unlimited-feature.
Here's some text from it: "A rather tame blues rock outfit called Joy & The Hit Kids rebranded itself as Joy Unlimited and started playing technical, folky prog rock, releasing three heavy concept albums before dissolving in 1976. “It was a very progressive time,” Roland Heck recalls, speaking from his home in Grasellenbach, a small village in Southern Hesse, halfway between Heidelberg and Frankfurt. He was one of the key figures in Joy Unlimited, playing acoustic and electric pianos and vibraphone. His counterpart was Gerd Koethe on flutes and saxophones. The two of them work together as a producer tag team until this very day. “Musically, we tried different things we weren’t taught at the university.” The “university” was Mannheim’s music school where they met the other band members between 1966 and 1970: Albin Metz on bass, Dieter Kindl on guitar, Hans Herkenne on drums, a couple of rotating others and an incredibly talented blues and soul singer called Joy Fleming." Then we have Hans Lingenfelder's biography at: https://www.lyricsvault.net/php/bio.php?a=5098#axzz7quPmywHa: "In 1973, Hans joined a rock-band called Joy Unlimited, which, under the name Hit Kids also recorded more commercial stuff and then Hans started to do more and more session work. He can be heard on lots of records of many German-speaking artists such as Paola, Roberto Blanco, Costa Cordalis among many. He worked for Albert Hammond who recorded a successful LP in Berlin at that time." So, Hans Lingenfelder did session work, and Joy Unlimited's early line ups involved "a couple of rotating others", so putting two and two together, I reckon if the album was recorded in 1972, as many sites seem to suggest, Hans was probably involved in 'Instrumental Impressions' as a session musician rather than an official member of the band. He joined the band officially in 1973, after the release of the 'Reflections' album, so if 'Instrumental Impressions' wasn't actually recorded until 1974 - despite all the current indications from various sources that it was recorded in 1972 and then released in 1974 - then he would indeed have contributed to it as an official band member. Further down the Joy Unlimited feature page we have this paragraph: "There’s another rare and obscure album from that era that remains expensive among collectors. Instrumental Impressions was released by Italian label Devega, presumably around 1974. It contains all instrumental, funky library tracks, recorded by Joy Unlimited for public radio station SWR. Heck sighs when asked about the release. “We were naive back then, we only cared about the music. For us, the most important thing was to release records. But we didn’t think much about contracts and conditions. So with this record, somebody must have sold our recordings without our knowledge or approval. We never saw any money for this one. Well, today I can cope with that,” he laughs." There's another Joy Unlimited piece (an interview with drummer Hans Herkenne) here: https://www.psychedelicbabymag.com/2020/04/joy-unlimited-interview.html. If I can get definite confirmation from Devega that these tracks which make up the 'Instrumental Impressions' album - initially recorded by Joy Unlimited for use by the SWR public radio station - were originally recorded by the band in 1972, then we can add this as a note at the bottom of our page, but the date of 1974 that we have on the page now definitely seems to be the one to use for the album's actual release. One more bit of info needs changing on the band's 1973 'Reflections' album (and also in the band's biography) which I didn't spot until now.  The vocalist who replaced Joy Fleming was Ken Traylor, not Taylor. |

^ Thanks Julien. Could you also alter his name in the biography (since it's just a typo correction, and not a rewrite which would need the team's approval)? I think you should have the necessary privileges to be able to edit biographies now that you are a Special Collab.
If not, then hopefully Eugene can do it.

Arc - ...At This: https://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=17659. Three track times are missing, as is total time. Another relatively minor point is that the true title of the album includes three ellipsis points before the word 'At' These timings are from the discogs page for the Green Tree Records GTR 022 1994 reissue. 1. Let Your Love Run Through (4:53) 2. It's Gonna Rain (4:06) 3. Four Times Eight (3:16) 4. An Ear Ago (4:29) 5. Great Lager Street (3:57) 6. Hello, Hello, Monday (7:13) 7. Perfectly Happy Man (5:57) 8. Sophie's Cat (3:06) 9. You're In The Garden (4:52) Total time 41:49 Several other reissues can be found on the discogs master page for the album if you want to go the extra mile.

Apart from discogs, the ArtistInfo site seems to include a fairly accurate timeline of the musicians involved - apart from including two spurious contributions (by Walther Von Der Vogelweide and Lothar Höfgen) for the fourth album "Minne" on top of the 7 artists who were involved:
