The history of music has almost never been written by single successful hits, but by producing an overall, cohesive work, an album of substance, a project born from a particular moment in the author's life and a reflection of the surrounding reality of a certain period.

"Anthologies," on the other hand, are collections of hits (which often don't correspond to the most beautiful songs) known to the majority and, therefore, ideal for listening in company, in the car or during gatherings.

In particular, in Italy, especially in the 1960s, music was exclusively a matter of singles and, therefore, of individual songs. Moreover, it is not easy to find the old 33 RPM records because they are almost never reissued. Hence, this double anthology of hits (a total of 36 songs) from one of the most important and loved bands of Italian beat.

Yes, because, despite the pathetic television reunions among old timers which Maurizio Vandelli participates in, Equipe 84 was a band that knew how to play and evoke emotions like few others. Numerous are the masterpieces they have left us: above all the beautiful "Auschwitz", written by Guccini, which alone already earns them a place among the milestones of our native beat.

But in their repertoire, there are also songs by Battisti (above all the very famous "29 Settembre") and covers of foreign songs, like the famous "Ho in mente te", perhaps the most reinterpreted song in the history of Italian music.
