Very few infos are available about the italian division of the label.
Possibly, with the intention to expand its market, the german headquarters decided to open some new european main offices: in Italy and in Spain.
They already had in Europe the dutch one, the french one and the austrian one, and overseas the american one, the australian one and others.
The italian branch produced about 20 releases from 1973 to 1975.
They published two LPs only on spring-summer 1973 and started new releases on the subsequest year, possibly due to a management turnover, and re-named the label "Basf Fare".
