Jimmy Roselli Love & Naples 2 LPs of Italian Songs - RARE.  Like New!

Both records appear to be unplayed: N-Mint!  LP Cover was open but still had shrink-wrap on it, so the sleeve is also in wonderful condition.  I peeled it off to take these photos of the actual items on offer including the record's surfaces.  Ships promptly via Media Mail.

Hoboken-born Jimmy Roselli was one of the most significant Italian-American pop singers of his time during an era of competition from Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Vic Damone, & Jerry Vale.  In fact, he grew up five doors down from Frank Sinatra who was ten years his senior.

He experienced a resurgence in 1989 and played a series of concerts at The London Palladium, and at Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City in the 1990’s.  A book in the late 1990’s; “Making The Wiseguys Weep: The Jimmy Roselli Story” is being made into a movie.

His version of “Mala Femmina” is featured twice in Martin Scorsese’s Mean Streets.  It's spelled "Mala Femmena" here, which also seems to be a correct spelling,

Roselli died of heart failure in 2011, and this two LP compilation is a wonderful representation of his work, and is on Jimmy’s own M&R Records.  One post on YouTube says this set was sold on TV.
