PING PONG - About Time ( 1971 ITALY Crossover Prog ) Full Album

Ping Pong biography Founded in Emilia-Romagna, Italy in 1970 - Disbanded in 1974 - Reformed later as "Bulldog" Italian act PING PONG is another example of a 70's Italian band of which little is known. It is believed that they formed in 1971, at that time consisting of Mauro Falzoni (guitars, vocals), Celso Valli (keyboards), Paride Sforza (saxophone, clarinet), Alan Taylor (bass, vocals) and Vittorio Volpe (drums), and they issued their debut album About Time the same year. Two years later vocalist Giorgio Bertolani joined and contributed to their second full length production Ping Pong in 1973. It is generally believed that the band disbanded shortly after this. Five of the six members would reappear in Italian band Bulldog in 1975, which proved to be another short-lived unit.
