There of course also has been rumours of his autobiography (book) for some time. I agree w/you Andrew I really liked La Passione (movie) even though not very successful and the soundtrack remains as one of my favorite CD's. I know a lot of people didn't like Santo Spirito but again I enjoyed both mo...

Hi All I have a vinyl album C.R. recorded in Canada ( an interview for radio) from that period as well as a poor quality live recording of the Toronto concert.

No lyrics in my CD ! thanks for those ! I've been very fortunate finding many of these rare EP's etc. on e-bay so I've ended up w/almost everything in C.R.'s hard to obtain library. By the way I hope you have as much fun w/the Olympics as we had in Vcr. 4 years ago ! Before the games started and the...
