I don't know what it is but it seems to me that a lot of artist debut album is their best album,well Gino Vannelli's crazy life is no different. This nine track album is short [most of the songs only lasting 2 minuets and some seconds] & sweet......but what a good listen it is. The songs are perfectly placed so it plays through well. Now a cd version of this album is hard to find and some sellers want a ridiculous amount of money for it,to which i say F*** Them i'm not paying thousands of dollars for any form of music cd,vinyl,cassette ect. So what i did was i bought me a very good original vinyl version,cost me $12.24 altogether including s&h.Since i already had a record player it wasn't a problem.The record company seem to be slow on releasing this album on cd here in America or they have no interest,soif you want this album the best that i can tell you is to buy a record player here at amazon.com and buy the vinyl from a seller here too.
