THE NEW HORIZONS (I Nuovi Orizzonti) - Going Back To The City



















THE NEW HORIZONS (I Nuovi Orizzonti) - Going Back To The City / Ti Amo Ancora (T-N-H 1975)
I got this obscure Italian single trading some records with my friend Pierpaolo of Rave Up records. I have no idea who The New Horizons were, I can only see the names of the composer, E. Sica and the producer, F. Randone, on the record label.
As the title of the track suggests, the b side is a terrible love ballad but Coming Back To The City is worthy of your attention...
