(ANSA) - ROME, 24 SEP - On Friday 25 September LucioBattisti - Rarities will be released, a collection of small great pearls of the ordinary artist, distributed over the years in various media: singles, alternative versions, rarities and B sides.
Rarities will be available in two versions, CD and LP (exclusively for Record Store Day on Saturday, September 26), both accompanied by track by track commentary.
Also on Friday it will also be possible to buy Rarities in CD format on newsstands, attached to TV Sorrisi e Canzoni and DonnaModerna.
Lucio Battisti, a musician with an absolute genius, unknowingly proves to be once again a precursor of the times, because in a historical moment where the concept of singletrack is back in fashion, thanks to the streaming of music and is once again characterizing the Italian and international recording I would certainly have guessed this in advance, shortening the times and burning the competition.
After more than 50 years from the debut of this extraordinary artist, we can still today appreciate the whole range of his productions, which go beyond the most known pieces.
This collection contains songs such as the rare Extended Version of "Pensieri e Parole", "Le formiche" which was written for Wilma Goich, "The crazy butterfly" brought to the 1968 Sanremo Festival by the unusual couple formed by Johnny Dorelli and Paul Anka and songs in a foreign language.
This is the complete tracklist of Rarieties: Thoughts and words (Extended Version), Per una lira, I sell a house, Leformiche, The sword in my heart, The mad race, Why should I, The crazy butterfly, My child, Les jardines de Septembre, Toujours plus belle , Ma Chanson de liberté, La Colina de lasCerezas, Una Muchacha por Amigo, To Feel in Love, Only.
