Overview
This is the third compilation of the Del mio meglio series. It included songs from albums released from 1972 to 1974. Only the songs "Non gioco più" and "La scala buia" were previously released only as non-album single.[2]
The album's design, as in previous times, is a Greek cross. The photos were taken during the creation of four color music video intended for the foreign market and shot simultaneously with recordings of the Milleluci TV show.[3][4][5][6]
