Let me know if you want me to remove the vinyl from the cover to help prevent splits.

JET is very popular among Italian music collectors because from their ashes came the commercial pop group Matia Bazar, and also among prog collectors because of their LP rarity. 
Jet (or J.E.T. as their name was usually written) were formed in Genova at the beginning of the 70's from a previous band of the same name that also included later members of another pop band, Ricchi e Poveri. 
Their first album, Fede speranza carità, released in 1972, derives from a radical turn in their musical style, to the then popular progressive rock, and is a very good album, with strong hard rock influences and falsetto vocals but with nice use of organ and a solid rhythm section, as in the long Sinfonia per un re that sometimes reminds of New Trolls' multivocal parts and Il prete e il peccatore. 
In 1974 the band added a female voice (Antonella Ruggiero) and a new drummer (Giancarlo Golzi from Museo Rosenbach) changing name to Matia Bazar and starting a very long and successful career that still lasts today.
Fede speranza carità is a very rare album, and due to the small pressing and the delicate cover it's almost impossible to find mint copies. The gatefold cover has a cutout on the front for a thick glued-on shaped glass that's in the inner. 
This deluxe reissue is a faithful replica of the gorgeous original limited to 400 pieces and was entirely handmade.
