Sensations' Fix

SENSATIONS' FIX was active from 1974-1977. The founding members include Italians FRANCO FALSINI on guitar and Richard Ursillo on bass (formerly of CAMPO DI MARTE), and American Keith Edwards on drums. The trio was based in Florence and produced and released their own albums, releasing three in 1974 (the promotional self-titled debut, "Fragments of Light" and "Portable Madness"). In 1976 keyboardist Stephen Head joined, and the group released "Finest Finger", which included more vocal parts, shorter songs, and more accessible sounds. The direction of the band continued toward a more commercial approach with subsequent releases. By 1979, the band, now known as SHERIFF and based in the United States, had been joined by second guitarist Frank Filfoyt, and bassist Gary Falwell had replaced Richard Ursillo. This incarnation was very short-lived, releasing one album and playing live only once, before the band broke up for good. The posthumous release "Antidote" contains unreleased recordings from the late 1970s.
