Cheek-A-Bomba (1984)
Right from the start Influenza Prods had been involved in the Mail Art movement and this second cassette includes a booklet (same size as the cassette) in which 15 mail artists friends illustrate in their own way the 15 songs. Like with the previous work, each copy was handmade and the recording was far from perfect. In spite of all that, the band gets mentioned in the national press for the first time.
Known in London underground circles as Fyc Tissues and Ultra Violet, upon returning to their native Italy in 1981 Bruno De Angelis and Giovanna Gulinello became INFLUENZA PRODS
Quasi Solo (1985)
Serious family problems marred the recording of I.P. last album.
Bruno had to do almost everything alone (hence the title) and in May of the same year the band finally split up. Only 30 minutes of music, badly recorded as usual, and yet Quasi Solo includes the track Pretty City, maybe the most liked track of their short history.

4 Triumphal March
