Luna nel blu (Non ho l'eta) - Gigliola Cinquetti

Imagine being sixteen years old and winning with 'Non ho l'eta' at the Italian San Remo festival, and then going on to the Eurovision Song Contest and winning that too. Gigliola Cinquetti, who was born into a wealthy family, must have been a bit overwhelmed by this success. Yet she continued gracefully, recording her song in Spanish as 'No tiene edad' and in Japanese as '夢見る想い (Yumemiru omoi)'.

The German version was called 'Luna nel blu', and is perhaps the most impressive of all these versions, because Gigliola pronounces the language in a rather convincing way (even if the title of the song is still in Italian). This pressing comes from one of the Benelux countries, but why 'Luna nel blu' is relegated to the B-side, I don't know.
