Mina - Studio Uno 66 LP

(Rifi – [RFL LP 14016], 1966) [ITA]

Another 'oldies' upload, this time from Italy. A mid-60s LP release from pop singer, artist, Mina. Who had quite a career after her initial pop stardom. Her albums become much more varied and experimental. She's still alive today in 2025 at 85 years old and has even released music fairly recently. This older yé-yé pop is still fantastic as well!

CHRISTINA - BINTANG TJITAKU 7" (IRAMA RECORDS [EPLN-5], 196?) [INDO]

Christina - Bintang Tjitaku 7"

(Irama Records [EPLN-5], 196?) [INDO]

Another release I know very little about, that I downloaded from another blog that uploads exclusively Indonesian music. Not knowing a single word of the language, I could listen to these four songs by Christina over and over again. 

La-lalalalala- Hm-m- rururururu

Françoise Hardy - En Anglais 7"

(Disques Vogue [EPL. 8207], 1964) [FR]

An early Françoise Hardy 7" on French label Disques Vogue from 1964. Four songs sung here in English and I love them all except the first one, honestly, it's just too much of a nursery rhyme to me. I'm more interested in the English versions of her own songs.
