A collection of songs from Vinicio Capossela's first five studio albums, "L'indispensabile" is the perfect introduction to his poetic world and to the unique blend of styles his music is made of. The only unissued song in this compilation is "Si è spento il sole", a cover from the great Adriano Celentano, but the album shows up with Capossela's great classics, as "Che coss'è l'amor", "Con una rosa", "All'una e trentacinque circa" and many others.
