Excellent pop music

"Although this album came out several decades ago it still exemplifies pop excellence. Even without knowing Italian one can appreciate the melodies of the majority of the tunes. Dealing with love and relationships, the songs deal with universal themes which are never out of style. They have excellent lyrics and infectious melodies. I first received this album as a gift many years ago - I liked it then and I still like it now. There are very few albums one can say that about. Overall the entire album is excellent. Personally, I find that only two of the songs are weak relative to the others - Telegiornale and Chen il Cinese. They are fine to listen to but do not fit the mood of the album and its overall theme. I highly recommend this CD to anyone who appreciates good music ( and is sick of the current sounds which pass as new music). Standout tracks? ALL but the two which I just mentioned! If you buy this CD you will not be disappointed."
