I
SUCCESSI MONDIALI DI BOB DYLAN
Edizioni Musicali Radio Record, Milano,
(Italy), 25 x 17 cm. There are three volumes in this series, published in 1966, 1968 (noted as n.2), and 1970. Each one has a different selection of songs:
-1966: Mister Tamburino (Mr Tambourine Man) + 9 songs,
-1968: L'Esquimese (Mighty Quinn) + 11 songs,
-1970: Lady (Lay Lady Lay) + 11 songs.
Volume one and two (n. 2) are quite special: the General has a glossy cover and the four other versions have dull covers (vocal, instruments in C -two of them-, instruments in Bb); when placed inside the General, it forms a complete set of five.
"Testi italiani di Mogol": The lyrics are translated in Italian by Mogol (famous Italian lyricist who collaborated with some of the great Italian singer-songwriters like Lucio Battisti and Adriano Celentano).
Thank you to Andrea Brillo and Peter Oudejans for the scans and explanations about this series.
