Story & Background
The album "Dalla", pressed in 1980, represents a fascinating and often underestimated chapter in Italian discography, not only for its musical content but also for its format. This edition was in fact released as a "Q-Disc", a bold initiative by RCA italiana. The idea was to offer a 45 rpm record with superior audio quality, thanks to the higher rotation speed, but with more tracks than a traditional single (usually four tracks), positioning itself between the single and the full album. The choice of Lucio Dalla, at the peak of his artistic and commercial experimentation post-album of '79, to inaugurate (or be among the first) this series was strategic. The "Q-Disc" was designed to enhance the sound dynamics and spatiality of the arrangements, aspects that Dalla was masterfully exploring, especially in tracks like "Balla Balla" and "Cosa sarà". This copy, therefore, is not just a record, but a tangible piece of the history of Italian discographic innovation, an attempt to reinvent musical consumption before the massive advent of the CD, making it a true gem for every collector attentive to the historical and technological details of vinyl.
