Images is an album by the Italian singer and songwriter Lucio Battisti. It was released in September 1977 by RCA Victor.

The album is a collection of five songs from his previous album, Io tu noi tutti, and two of his classic songs (" Il mio canto libero" and " La canzone del sole"). All of the songs were translated into English by Peter Powell.

Critical reception

Stateside critics considered the record a relative failure: Richard Williams, in Melody Maker, wrote that it sounded akin to a "watered-down Battisti". ^[1]

They mostly criticized Battisti's poor English skills, the flawed lyric translations and the disco-inspired arrangements (that, although pleasant, were not able to convey the spirit and the nuances of the original songs).^{[ citation needed]}
