Tropico del nord

Tropico del nord is the ninth album released by the Italian rock band Pooh in 1983.^[1] According to the liner notes, it was the first album ever released on CD by an Italian band. It signals a change of direction for the band, with their earlier hard rock style replaced by a pop-oriented sound. Although the promotional tour proved that Pooh were still a strong draw, the album did not fare as well on the charts as their previous releases.
