@mauro60 to prefer Allen from Shamal onwards, I think you’ve taken that little bit of music for yourself and it hasn’t done you much good... In my opinion, "You" is the weakest of the Zero the Hero trilogy, but even before the trilogy, I still prefer "Camembert electrique"; every time the record reaches "Tried so hard," I go into a frenzy.

I always knew there was a kind of bootleg of this album, that is, a pirate edition with additional tracks besides the official ones, but I've never seen it around. As for the irony (dictated by the cover) "the beauty of the group," check out the road movie (as I reviewed) "Strada a doppia corsia" where he stars alongside James Taylor, and then look in the mirror, ahahaha ....

We've already discussed this film in the review of Bird. Just to contribute further, I will copy and paste what I previously wrote on that occasion: "A perfect world is a film, as Poletti says, about the lack of a father; both the boy and the bandit need one and learn from each other. The absence of a father in a country that kills presidents, just as the lack of a mother (in Easy Rider) turns into a whore with whom to live for free sex, not love. It’s just that for Poletti’s limited horizons, Easy Rider is an outdated hippie film while A Perfect World is a contemporary masterpiece. Open your mind." I would just like to add that Poletti's phrase “an anomalous road movie on the side of the losers, of those who, by their very nature, are destined to fail” makes me understand that he hasn’t grasped the essence of the road movie at all, because this is ALWAYS on the side of the losers.

Thank you brothers!!! for NIBIIO: it seems that the box set (which I don't have) is the subject of a dispute between Mack Abon and Action, because it "steals" live tracks already released by the former, and it also seems that the remaining material was previously discarded because it was deemed unsuitable for publication…..

The fact is that the Chocolate as well as the Standells were manipulated by producer Ed Cobb, who made and unmade the group at his whim, and in fact, when he stepped back, the band ended its days in complete mediocrity. "Midnight hour" was by Wilson Pickett, which explains the Stax sound, while "Hot Dusty Stills" was by Stills, which explains the Buffalo Springfield vibe; both tracks feel a bit detached and out of place from the rest. It seems that "Come on" made Mick Jagger seethe with envy. Nevertheless, it's a great Stones-dependent album. I prefer the subsequent "Inner Mistique." There, they lean more towards garage-psychedelic.

Far be it from me to mind your business, rather it's you who should focus a bit more on your own. People want to have fun with Boldi & C. ...so let them enjoy themselves, who cares!!! You have your own films and who's touching them!
