I wanted to buy this single back in 1978, but instead I bought Patsy Gallant's 'From New York to L.A.' So this weekend I did something rather historical: I finally bought it. More than 3600 singles and 30 years later!Raffaella Carra was born in Bologna, Italy on June 18, 1943. 'A far l'amore comincia tu' ('To make love, your move first') was her biggest international success. Several versions of the song exist. This single contains the original Italian version plus the French version. The Spanish version is called 'En el amor todo es empezar', in Germany it was known as 'Liebelei' and in England it was 'Do It, Do It Again'. In the Netherlands, the original Italian version charted, and peaked at number 3.
My collection: 7" single no. 3621
Found: Record fair, Utrecht, April 18, 2009
Cost: 0,5 euro
Tracks: 'A far l'amore comincia tu' / 'Puisque tu l'aimes dis-le lui'
There was also the french canadian version by Chatelaine - Corps à Corps, which was a big hit on the radio.
