I listened to several of the tracks on this collection, thanks to YouTube. It’s not a bad collection. The Rita Pavone song is nice, the Milva song is OK. There are quite a few covers, such as the Honeybeats’ (singing and playing women, by the way!) version of the Ikettes’ Peaches and Cream and I Dik Dik’s version of the Rokes’ “When the Wind Arises”. Only in the sixties could you have an English band go to Italy and have hits in English and Italian and have an Italian band cover you…and have androgynous boys dance to it (I’m talkin’ to YOU, red shirt!). This album dates from 1968.
