Disc Packaging

The album in its original vinyl release came in green, red, blue, purple, and brown versions of the cover made with three separate inserts that, when closed, would form the image of the cover. For the later digital reprint and online distribution, a simple green rendition was chosen.

Cassette (PMA 543) and stereo versions (P8A 300843) used further colourings not used for the original vinyl. The Spanish edition (Odean J 064-93.937) has a completely different cover.

Chart Performance

Mina's self titled album, Mina having released the year before, was still number 1 on Italian charts as Cinquemilaquarantatre released. The album continued to be best selling for 8 weeks, and remained in the top 5 until December 1972 totalling over 700,000 copies.[1]
