"fuori catalogo" is considered from his author, joe barbieri, as a great divide between his previous musical journey and all the things that will come later.
this is the reason why barbieri recorded these his old nine songs (the tenth ia a cover of 'arrivederci' from umberto bindi) barely with guitar and voice. his goal was to finish with the past, and begin with a new personal and musical wave.
this is also why the cd layout is completely white, clean, as a rebirth.
the recordings - made with noises, accepting the ruthless result of the first recording take - has been published in the barbieri's thirty years old birthday, the 14th decembre 2003, in a limited edition of only 300 copies.
it's not necessary to say that this rare album went sold out in few days.
