 Italy is full of surprises! . . I was delighted to meet and spend time with the legendary Paolo and Anna CARU, owners of CARU Records, one of the oldest and best record shops in all of Italy. . . Fantastic selection of books, CDs, classic DVDs, vinyl etc. Delighted also to discover that they stock everything from The Sailor's Revenge right back to Energy Orchard vinyl records! The concert later in Torino (Turin) was fantastic too.
