(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 18 - Pooh took the stage for the last time in December 2016. The last concert and farewell to the public after 50 years.
But the Pooh story still continues.
Even today, a few days after the death of Stefano D'Orazio.
The latest project, released on November 20 and already planned for some time, is "The songs of our history" (Tamata / SonyMusic): a collection with the most beautiful songs of the group, from their debut in 1996 to their dissolution in 2016. A 4 cd box with 72 tracks and 3 LPs with 36 tracks.
The collection opens with the unpublished "Meno male", the first-ever test of "Tanta vor di lei": a different version of the song in the title and in the text from the one that appeared on the 1971 album Opera Prima.
D'Orazio made a decisive contribution to the realization of the project.
"He had a fundamental role - declared Andrea Rosi, President & CEO of Sony Music Entertainment Italy -. Besides, he has always been the strategic mind of the group. His music and his words will remain forever. This record is dedicated to him. ".
