The Platinum Collection is a compilation album by Italian singer Mina, released on 20 February 2004 by EMI. [2]
The 52-track, three-disc box set details Mina's recording career at PDU starting in 1968. The set highlights Mina's best moments and give a depth that is essential to her fans, but does not include any tracks recorded by Mina for Italdisc (1959-1964) or Ri-Fi (1964-1967).
Some rare songs previously published only on vinyl records were published here for the first time: "Caro" (B-side of the single "Vorrei che fosse amore", 1968), "Dai dai domani" (B-side of "Glaube Ihr Nicht" or "Non credere", 1969), "La musica e finita" (published in the 1968 album Le più belle canzoni italiane interpretate da Mina ) and "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" (the Italian version first appeared on the 1968 live album Mina alla Bussola dal vivo , and in 2003 Mina re-recorded the English version and released it as a single).
The album reached the first place in the Italian album chart, in total it stayed on the chart for 172 weeks (almost a year in the top twenty and three years in total). [3] Also in 2011, the album was certified gold in Italy, and platinum in 2014. [4]
