Album Info

Release Date: 2003

Label: BMG Italy

24-bit high quality digital remasters of Battisti's complete Italian discography, including the two non-album singles. Each remaster is packaged in a replica of the original LP release's packaging, including gatefold art and a shrunken-down insert (if any). This even goes down to details like track orders as printed (which were sometimes different from the actual track order) and the lack of Battisti's name on the covers of some of them (for instance, compare the cover of Il Mio Canto Libero to the more-common cover of later releases (such as that of Il Mio Canto Libero); the cover here reproduces the former). Disc art is made to resemble the LP sticker, but expanded to fill the disc.

The only exceptions are the two Columbia-published albums, La Sposa Occidentale and Cosa Succederà Alla Ragazza (C.S.A.R.). In these cases, identical reprints lacking any updated BMG logos or copyrights, if not old stock (not sure which), are included instead.

This collection does not include foreign language versions of songs (apart from the Images album which was also released in Italy), and does not include previously unreleased material. It also does not include remasters of early singles whose album versions differ somehow.

Also includes a lyric booklet.
