Chapter 1.

In the wake of his final meeting with Mangini, The Learned Dog, feeling the onset of elation, noted the following as his train ride concluded its final stretch through the Transdanubian territories.

“It was one of those early autumn days when the streets of Rome became engulfed in light so brilliant that one suspected even the dull-witted pavement of being on the verge of sudden awakening. Rising from the depths of its concrete slumber with the nagging feeling of having overslept yet sensitive to the fugacious beauty of the moment. The slow rising of its spine traveling up the Via del Corso in a wave like motion".

In an extraordinary turn of events Free Benne Recordo has managed to acquire another masterpiece from Lanzo e Mangini. The Learned dog, manager of our Italian branch, had long given up on finding more intact recordings of the Italian duo. That was until Mangini for the first time reached out to our label. This gesture was extremely shocking as all official reports suggested his death to have taken place in the late 80’s. Upon confirming his identity, we immediately arranged for a personal interview in Rome. Our Italian specialist, The Learned Dog, was to be head of our delegation and conduct the interview with Mangini. Many questions were on our minds in the time leading up to the interview. Where had Mangini been in all those years? Why hadn’t he mentioned Lanzo? Would he be in possession of unreleased material? 
Even the Learned Dog, a seasoned journalist who had stood on his hind paws in the company of legends such as Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, was in an acute state of nervousness. This was indeed the holy grail.
Chapter 2 soon out.
