Presented here for the first time ever in digital format are twenty-four Italian songs with a strong emotional impact, all recorded between the late 1960s and mid-70s. Originally released as forty-five rpm records, these tracks enjoyed only a brief moment in the spotlight. Yet, their power to evoke nostalgia and emotion remains undiminished. They transport listeners to a carefree provincial Italy, a land where musicarello films and photoromance magazines, alongside live music contests like Cantagiro and televised variety shows like Canzonissima, dominated popular culture and entertainment. The airwaves were filled with breezy pop hits, languid ballads, and soulful vocals. Amidst the cultural transformations of the era, these songs offer a poignant reminder of a simpler time. From romantic gems like "La strada di Soho" to melancholic tracks with a soul and R&B vibe like "Ti voglio come sei," and upbeat, cheerful little marches like "Che bel tipino," the collection showcases a diverse range of styles, but with the common themes of hope, longing, and unrequited or impossible love woven throughout.
