I feel a bit like an Alzheimer patient in reverse: I remember things I wrote but Blogger keeps taking them away. Like the entry about Paolo Conte's 'Max': I'm sure it was on this site, but it's gone and I don't even have a notification from Blogger that they stole my entry. For some reason they don't like me to write about the records I bought. Copyright gone mad, eh?Paolo Conte was born on January 6, 1937. His performing career began as a vibraphone player in local and touring bands. In 1974 he started a solo career, which was very successful in Italy and later in Europe as well. 'Max' was a big European hit, and the record company tried to cash in on that success by releasing a compilation album and another single: 'Aguaplano'. Predictably, the single didn't become a hit. But it is a nice song - so I bought it.
My collection: 7" single no. 615
Found: Free Record Shop, Den Haag, 1988
Cost: 6 guilders
Tracks: 'Aguaplano' / 'Come di'
