Amanti di valore is a studio album by Italian singer Mina, released in October 1973 by PDU and originally distributed by EMI Italiana as a double album along with Frutta e verdura . [2]

Overview

The album's songs are dedicated to love and sex. Mina, again going against the flow, relies on the lyrics of the promising author Franco Califano, who describes without taboos the relationship between two adulterers ("Amanti di valore") or the absurd erotic games that she learns to please her man, thereby losing the natural spontaneity and naivety associated with the act of love ("Inibizioni al vento"). [3]

"Carlo detto il mandrillo" differs in that Mina does not perform the lead vocal part, but sounds like part of the choir. This is a song about a man overwhelmed with excessive passion in search of a woman. The song was removed from foreign releases due to censorship. [3]
