Amore e non amore [SEP] performer
Amore e non amore
Amore e non amore ("Love and non-love") is a concept album by the Italian singer and songwriter Lucio Battisti. It was released in July 1971 by Dischi Ricordi.
The album focuses on the contraposition of "love" and "not-love". As a result, the LP is split in two definite "sides", each one made up of four songs:
- The "non-love" side, characterised by a rock and roll music style
called "Amore e non amore", but his label chose to release the compilation rather than the album, which was considered to be too experimental and advanced for the Italian audience.
"Amore e non amore" was eventually released in July 1971, but in order to preserve their creative freedom, Battisti and Mogol moved over to Numero Uno, one of Italy's first independent record labels, founded by them in 1969. In the same year English band Love Affair| recorded the song "Wake Me I Am Dreaming"
