In 1969 he won the Un disco per l' Europa song contest in Lugano, Switzerland which got him signed to the RiFi label. In 1972 he made a concept album (under the name of Mack Sigis Porter)…this album is the masterpiece that is Peace on You. After his musical career, Porter stayed in Italy and became a stylist under the name Mack Squire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeace on You was strongly inspired by psychedelic soul influences and progressive atmospheres, with wild guitar solos (and some Hendrix-like vocals), and even some orchestral arrangements. Mack Porter’s only album (featuring many famous Italian guest musicians) is an acclaimed favorite when it comes to African psychedelic rock. Riddled with long folky introductions, funky strings, soulful organ breaks, soft progressive rock, fuzz guitars…combine all of this with Porter's sad bluesy voice and you have a unique sounding record that gets more interesting with repeated and concentrated listening.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was rumored that this rare and expensive album (original copies tend to go for silly money on the second-hand market) only came out on a handful of promo copies…but the sad truth is that this release received no promotion at all and sold in minimal quantities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an underestimated soulful album and Mack Porter is truly a unique artist with an absolute ‘to-the-bone’ musical spirit. Tidal Waves Music now proudly presents the reissue of ‘Peace on You’. This official vinyl reissue is now available as a deluxe 180g vinyl edition and comes with an insert. This release is also available as a limited compact disc edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMiles To Go\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack Home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeace On You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSunday In Neon Lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Seventh House\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTill The Fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreedom (All Men Should Be Free)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLISTEN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eAvailable on Desktop \u0026amp; Mobile\u003c\/em\u003e \u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" height=\"352\" width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/7t7Q30YWL3ZTBMoOC2RuOx?utm_source=generator\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Mack Porter","offers":[{"title":"LP \/ Black","offer_id":42699534631103,"sku":"TWM34-BK","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6947\/3471\/files\/Mack_20Porter_20frontcover.jpg?v=1703806684"}],"url":"https:\/\/helixsounds.com\/collections\/artist-mack-porter.oembed","provider":"Helix Sounds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
