== Release information ==
The Fonit Cetra CD version of the album (in 1980) has "Stanza Città", the second track of the LP, put at the very end of "Oro Caldo", while the second track of the CD is not the real "Stanza Città" but a rehash of the beginning of "Oro Caldo" intertwined with a reversed track ("There will be time" from "Milano Calibro 9"). Lino Vairetti, lead singer and frontman of Osanna, confirmed this multiple times.
