Al di la - Betty Curtis

Only two Italian Eurovision songs were still missing from my 7" singles collection, and this one was one of them. 'Al di la' was performed by Betty Curtis in the 1961 edition, and the single is very difficult to find - especially if you prefer a picture sleeve. They are for sale, of course, but only if you are willing to pay up to €50 for it. And I am not that crazy.

I was therefore very happy when I found a listing of the single with an original record company sleeve. It is the next best thing. CGD released this single back in 1961 and it's great to have an original CGD sleeve with this disc. It almost completes my Italian Eurovision singles collection. Now I just need that elusive 'Corde della mia chitarra' by Nunzio Gallo.
