PETULA CLARK Splendido! The Italian Singles Collection (2021 UK limited edition 31-track double CD set featuring an anthology of Petula's complete Italian language singles. Among the tracks are five superb songs she rendered exclusively in that language: including 'Invece No', which she performed at the San Remo Song Festival in 1965, and 'Splendido', recorded for the TV mini-series Coralba in 1970 plus a further five of which she recorded no English versions, notably 'Quelli Che Hanno Un Cuore', her particularly lovely cover of Bacharach & David’s 'Anyone Who Had A Heart'. Additionally, some tracks will be familiar to her British fans in their original English versions, among them 'Ciao Ciao' [Downtown], 'L’amore È Il Vento' [My Love] and 'Cara Felicita' [This Is My Song], while others were first recorded by her in French or German, countries in which she scored many big hits.

Both discs are UNPLAYED housed in the tri-fold digipak picture sleeve which remains sealed within its original shrinkwrap) more...
