SANDRO OLIVA - CICCIO / SAUNA

I recently got hold of this 2 track promotional CDR single by Sandro Oliva.
The liner notes say 'Both songs are alternate mixes of the ones included in the "Heavy Lightnings" CD.

As far as I know, "Heavy Lightnings" got released in 2004 and it didn't include any of those two tracks. But then again, maybe there was an earlier version of "Heavy Lightnings" that I still need to discover.
'Ciccio' and 'Sauna'. Two fine zappa-eque tracks that feature none other than Jimmy Carl Black on percussion.
Nice.

Sandro Oliva for those of you who might not know him, toured and recorded with Jimmy Carl Black, Don Preston and Bunk Gardner as The Grandmothers, but he also released some great music before and after that.
He also played a memorable concert at Zappanale (with Tim op het Broek on vocals). Who remembers that ?
