Skip Battin's Italian LPs now released on CD at last...with bonus live CD


Both Skip Battin LPs that were released in Italy only during the 80s are now released on one CD, along with a 1988 live concert featuring Skip Battin and John York, which was until now only available on a bootleg CDR.

The title of this new CD is "Skip Battin's Italian Dream" and the content is as follows:

Skip Battin - Navigator (Appaloosa 1981)

Skip Battin - Don't Go Crazy (Appaloosa 1984)

Family Tree (Skip Battin and John York with Beppe D'Angelo and Ricky Mantoan) - Live In Bolzano 1988

The CD comes with a 14 page booklet with many never seen before pictures, and liner notes in Italian (except for a one-page tribute interview with Gene Parsons).

It is an Italy-only release, currently only available from Amazon Italy and a couple of other Italian outlets. Amazon Italy ships worldwide though.
