The Right To Be Italian
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

1981 Original With Inner Sleeve. "The Right To Be Italian" is the only full-length studio album from Holly and the Italians, fronted by charismatic vocalist and songwriter Holly Beth Vincent. The band originated in Los Angeles before relocating to London, embedding themselves in the vibrant post-punk and new wave scene of late 1970s Britain. The album was produced by Richard Gottehrer, known for his work with Blondie and the Go-Go’s, and captures a blend of American power pop sensibilities with UK punk attitude, creating a distinct sound that set the band apart from their contemporaries. Tracks like "Tell That Girl To Shut Up" and "Youth Coup" encapsulate the mix of catchy hooks and raw energy that defined the group’s brief but impactful existence.
