IANVA reissue ‘La Ballata Dell’Ardito’ debut EP with extras on vinyl
To mark both the Centenary of Italy’s involvement in World War 1 and the 10th Anniversary of IANVA’s debut “La Ballata Dell’Ardito” on CD, Alpha South announces a special vinyl re-release of “La Ballata Dell’Ardito”, renamed as “La Ballata Dell’Ardito – Memento X-C”.
This re-issue – available here on vinyl – restores the debut as it was originally conceived prior to the early WW1 inspiration being replaced by the romance of D’Annunzio’s “Exploit of Fiume”. The reissue holds the 4 previously released tracks (already part of the sold-out EPs “La Ballata Dell’Ardito” and “L’Occidente”) plus 4 outtakes from some early pre-“Disobbedisco!” sessions (including a rare demo-version of “Terra Bruciata”, originally written by Italian wave band Mystery Plays).
Here’s an outtake from this release.

More people read Side-Line than ever, and there is still no paywall and no advertising. Readers pay for it instead - from $5 a month.
Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.
