A slim promotional cassette that, as the title suggests, contains three tracks from the group that were unreleased at the time, published along with an issue of the magazine "Tutto" in the now distant 1993. A little gem that contains almost mythical tracks belonging to the group's first era.
The first song is actually a cover of “Nel blu dipinto di blu (Volare)” performed together with a Japanese singer, Aruka Mari, at an alleged concert held in Osaka in 1990, or thereabouts. The result is decidedly delirious, and between the singer attempting to sing in Italian and the final hard rock guitar solo, I don't know what makes less sense.
Side B opens with “Gli occhiali dell’amore,” which, as Elio himself says, requires the right atmosphere and well represents those skit-like songs typical of the group, moving on the thin line between silly and genius (“Q!” “NO!!”). I lean towards genius.
Finally, it concludes with a moving version of “Alfieri,” a true manifesto of the band, in which each member of the group sings their own verse, including on this occasion Mu Fogliash, namely the late multi-instrumentalist Feiez. In reality, this version of the song is a hybrid between the classic one and “Alfieri 2,” a version of this masterpiece still unreleased today. A song that always manages to put you in a good mood, there's no doubt about it.
