Mina® is a studio album by Italian singer Mina, released in 1974 by PDU and distributed by EMI Italiana. Originally distributed as a double album along with Baby Gate. The album topped the Italian albums chart.
Cover versions Some of the songs of this album were recorded in different languages by Mina during the 1970s. In 1975, she recorded "Due o forse tre", "Nuur" and "Distanze" in Spanish ("Dos o acaso tres", "Nuur", " Dostancias"), as well "Tutto passerà vedrai" ("Todo pasara veras"). The same first three songs were covered in French one year later (as "Deux peut-être trois", "Lumière", "Ensemble"), as well "Caravel" ("La chiromancienne") and "Solo lui" ("Rien que vous"). All the tracks were published on albums for French and Spanish-speaking countries only and were re-issued on cd by EMI in 2011 (in the compilations Je suis Mina and Yo soy Mina).
Critical reception Mattia Marzi from Rockol noted that this album stated Mina as one of the most valuable voices of Italian pop music.
