Rane supreme is a studio album by Italian singer Mina, released on 17 October 1987 by PDU and distributed by EMI Italiana.

Overview

On the first volume of the album, Mina presents her interpretations of songs by other artists. Among them: "Nessun dolore" by Lucio Battisti, in this song the singer demonstrates her wide vocal range, "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word" by Elton John and "Careless Whisper" by George Michael. The song "Gloria" was already recorded by Mina for the album Due note (1961). There are new songs on the second volume.

As usual, the album was released in the fall, again as a double album on vinyl and in two volumes on CD and cassette. The album entered the top five of the chart in Italy. ^[3]
