PFM Releases Album Emotional Tattoos

Premiata Forneria Marconi signed with InsideOut in 2017 and released the album Emotional Tattoos. For this release, the band decided to make two separate albums featuring the same music, one recorded in Italian and the other in English. Only 71-year-old Di Cioccio remains from the founding lineup, following the departure of guitarist Franco Mussida in 2015.

During their early history, the group performed as the supporting act for Deep Purple at their first concert under their new name. Greg Lake later brought PFM onto his newly founded record label, Manticore. Pete Sinfield wrote English lyrics for albums such as Photos Of Ghosts, which became the first album by an Italian artist to enter the Billboard Top 200 chart.

A live recording from Central Park became part of the Cook album, which was issued in Europe under the title Live In The USA. Bernardo Lanzetti performed as vocalist on the 1975 album Chocolate Kings, while the 1977 release Jet Lag was the band's last album sung in English.
