This album was my first expieriance with Italian rock. I first heard it 6 years ago and instantly became a fan of Litfiba. Anyone wishing to broaden thier horizons ought to buy this album--its thier earliest and I think thier best. Go right to the Istanbul track, then go back and listen to the whole thing! Anyone with a knowledge of the rift between the north and south of Italy is going to get this ablum.
