"The second album of New Trolls was released in 1970, and was a compilation of tracks from their previous singles. These were still the days in Italy where people preferred the singles to the less popular LPs, and these often were simple compilations of already-known songs. Therefore, this second album, simply called New Trolls is the hardest and most expensive to find from this band. All tracks were major beat and psych hits, and are pretty far away from the symphonic prog they played afterwards. All songs are still a pleasure to listen today; they are some real beat and psych-inspired killers, highlighted by great vocal harmonies and Hendrix-inspired guitar playing. Pressed on 180 gram vinyl!"

"Finally on LP again, the legendary New Trolls debut! Released in 1969, it was one of the very first complete LPs by a pop band and in the meantime, a real concept album, lyrics were written for them by singer-songwriter Fabrizio De André and the poet Mannerini wrote the lyrics while Giampiero Reverberi (later producer of Le Orme's 'Collage,' 'Uomo di Pezza,' 'Felona e Sorona' and 'Contrappunti') arranged the music. Senza Oriario, Senza Bandiera is an excellent album, very successful at the time, strongly tied to the beat sound of the early days. As usual, there are the remarkable harmony vocals of the whole band (a trademark that New Trolls had from the very beginning), plus the Jimi Hendrix guitar of Nico di Palo and some interesting guitar parts, but not particularly complex compositions. 180 gram LP, gatefold sleeve."
