Question
QUESTION: Is there a recording of the song 'Anna' performed by Flo Sandon's from the Italian movie 'Bitter Rice' available for purchase?


ANSWER: I'm a bit confused because Flo Sandons' recording of "Anna" that I'm familiar with was not in "Bitter Rice" but in the movie also called "Anna." It is available -- I know because I recently bought it. The best place to look is for collections of 1953 hits, as there are a few of those which have the song.

Answer
I did some further checking. The "Hit Parade 1953" CD that has it seems to have gone out of print but the cong can be bought from Amazon as an MP3 (See http://www.amazon.com/Hit-Parade-1953-Various-Artists/dp/B000MXOZ6A/ for the page). It is also on another, very expensive, CD (See http://www.amazon.com/Hits-1953-Various-Artists/dp/B0001E5SIY/ but again can be downoaded as an MP3 cheaply from there.)
