Well, I know this is not a very soulful threat for this boards, but I hope there is anybody who can help me or give me suggestions. During the new advertising of Alfa Romero here in Germany I discover Shirley´s La Vita, they used the italian chorus in the advertising. I am not a hugh Shirley Bassey fan, but this performance in San Remo 1968 is breathless and very sophisticated, simply amazing. I discover that the 1968er album This is my life recorded in italian as a special version, one side of the LP contains only italian tracks, sadly it would never release on CD. I find out there is only one CD, I think it is a bootleg, produced in the netherlands 1997 with the title "The italian songs and more". I discover a great suprise, she sang "Diamond are forever" [[Vivo di diamanti) in italian too. Sadly I search the whole internet, but my only possibility is, to catch the songs from youtube.
Can someone help me to get the above mentioned CD or give some helpful tips ? It would be great and I am very lucky. Thanks in advance

There is no recent cd or vinyl release.

Good luck, Fulfillingness. "La Vita" and the Italian version of "Diamonds Are Forever" were slated for release on a 3-disc compilation in 2012, but it was cancelled, I believe, because EMI couldn't secure the necessary copyright or license for the live recording included in the compilation.

I would inquire at the DSB fan blog, those folks know everything.
