Story & Background
"Le più belle canzoni interpretate da Mina", in its extremely rare 1968 promotional edition, 1st print on PDU, is a discographic artefact of inestimable historical value, far beyond a mere collection of hits. This release testifies to one of the most audacious and pioneering moments in Mina's career: the founding, in 1967, of her record label, PDU (Platten Durch Uns, or Produttori Associati Discografici Uniti, although the former was the initial idea), together with her father Giacomo Mazzini and producer Alfredo Rossi. In an era when artists rarely had control over their masters or their artistic direction, Mina brought about a true revolution. This "promo" copy was not just a vehicle to re-propose her celebrated interpretations, but represented a true statement of intent: a calling card for the nascent PDU, intended for radio, press and industry insiders. A crucial artefact that cemented her independence and the birth of an era of total artistic autonomy for the "Tigre di Cremona", projecting PDU as a bulwark of her future discography.
