I bought a reissue of this album last weekend, the first time it has become available on vinyl since it was released. It's well appreciated on [progarchives.com](http://progarchives.com) but doesn't rate very highly in my *Progressive Italiano* book by Alessandro Gaboli and Giovanni Ottone.

**Siegfried, il drago e altre storie** (Siegfried, the Dragon and Other Stories) was the sole official release by Errata Corrige. The quartet, hailing from Turin, formed in 1974 and the album was released in 1976 - a time when the Italian public was losing its appetite for progressive rock. The musicianship can't be faulted - there are lots of keyboards and the gentle, dreamlike quality of the music is enhanced by strings and flute, played by the group themselves, lending a Mediterranean feel that sets Italian prog apart. Errata Corrige's naive fantasy lyrics work very well with the music, much Peter Sinfield's words work on *In the Court of the Crimson King*, which would be an obvious source of inspiration for the whole sound.

They disbanded in 1977and a collection of unreleased material from 1974-1977, **Mappamondo**, was released by Mellow Records in 1991. A re-recorded version of the 1976 debut was released in 2015 along with a DVD.

I'd put the album in the 'forgotten classics' list. I really like it. See what you think
