Pappo’s Blues' third album Vol 3 reissued on vinyl in October

Svart Records continues to reissue the discography of Legendary Argentinian blues rock band Pappo's Blues with their third album Vol. 3 out on vinyl in October 2025.

At the beginning of the ‘70s, guitarist, singer and composer Norberto Aníbal Napolitano, known to the music world as Pappo, was in the enviable position of being considered among the top guitar players of the fast-growing world of Argentine rock. Volume 3 is Pappo’s third studio album, released in April 1973.

For this third studio album, the lineup changed from drummer Luis Gambolini and bassist Carlos Pignatta to Héctor Lorenzo (drums) and Carlos Alberto Rufino (bass). The album is filled with musical influences from Jimi Hendrix and Cream to chord progressions that swell to Sabbathian proportions. All the songs on the album were recorded live at ION Studio by engineer Carlos Piriz, with no re-recordings, with production by Jorge Álvarez and Billy Bond. There are no other effects on the album, except for incidental noises in "Sándwiches de Miga" and handclapping in "Trabajando en el Ferrocarril.

Vol. 3 is now available on Svart exclusive transparent orange with black smoke vinyl, limited turquoise vinyl, and classic black vinyl, including amazing tip-on gatefold cover and liner notes by Alfredo Rosso. The album cover art was designed by artist Cristina Villamor. The lyrics of "El Brujo y el Tiempo" are even said to be inspired by that iconic drawing.
