Tunnel is a record production made in Naples in 1978 by Giorgio Verdelli and Danilo Rustici. It was released only on 7inch and it was the theme song for two RAI radio programs.

Going through the names of the musicians we begin with the inimitable voice and the splendid guitars of Danilo Rustici, then passing through the saxophones of Enzo Avitabile we arrive at the keyboards of Joe Amoruso, musician-arranger who left a great void with his untimely death.
For Amoruso, who crossed his experience with Premiata Forneria Marconi, Zucchero, Vasco Rossi, Mauro Pagani and was part of that 'dream team' of Pino Daniele - made up of technically extraordinary musicians, but above all gifted with an inimitable sound - this one-off project represented his recording debut
.
'Tunnel Lights' and 'Speed Up', long forgotten, have been brought to light by Dario Di Pace and Claudio Casalini, two visionaries who believe that Neapolitan music is a sonic mixture of ancient and modern musical registers even if it sometimes develops a conflict between tradition and modernity as the recovery of popular tradition is strongly opposed to the push for innovation.
This therefore is the reason for a 12inch reissue in which the evocative original songs - from almost half a century ago - are reflected in the new versions created by a bevy of talented DJ-arrangers including Massimo Berardi (assisted by bassist Luca Andreozzi) and by the industrious and passionate Francisco & Malkuth (ed: Francesco De Bellis and Cosimo 'Cosmo' Mandorino in disguise) in turn assisted by other zealous musicians and dee-jays - including the ecellent and always collaborative Raffaele Arcella - who took part in this 12" with enormous fervor

This Extended Play comes out both on the classic black vinyl and in the very limited red version, to reflect the red lips of the cover, an extravagant graphic work by Lino Vairetti, a brilliant and multifaceted artist, as well as the legendary singer of the historic prog band Osanna.

The splendid cover - with artwork, credits and writing in relief on both sides of the envelope created by AMGDisk of Naples on behalf of Best Record - further enhances the passion that Neapolitan musicians have always had in knowing how to combine their roots with any other genre music on the planet.
