Lucio Battisti (album)

Lucio Battisti is the self-titled debut album by Italian singer-songwriter Lucio Battisti, released in March 1969 by Dischi Ricordi. It primarily comprises previously released singles and B-sides, making it a collection of early works rather than a completely new studio album. The album is significant for showcasing Battisti's emerging musical style and collaboration with lyricist Mogol. The tracks are predominantly pop songs with hints of beat music influences, marking the beginning of Battisti's influential career in Italian music. Despite being a compilation, the album holds historical importance as the first long-playing record bearing his name.
