Non è facile avere 18 anni is the second studio album by Italian singer Rita Pavone, released in November 1963, through RCA Italiana. The album was the second best-selling album in Italy of 1964^[1], and the number-one best-selling album in Brazil of that same year.

Background

During that period, the singer's popularity was on the rise, thanks to numerous hit singles released on 45 RPM records: "Cuore," the Italian version of the U.S. hit written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil and performed by Wayne Newton, "Heart (I Hear Your Beating)," which reached number one on 6 July 1963, for nine weeks^[2], "Non è facile avere 18 anni," which reached number one on 25 January 1964, for two weeks^[3], and "Datemi un martello," the Italian adaptation by Sergio Bardotti of "If I Had a Hammer."

The second LP was then released shortly after the first, featuring some of the previously released tracks along with new songs.

The album was released in Italy on LP by RCA Italiana in a mono version with a gatefold cover, catalog number PML 10360. This version was also made available in the United States In 1964, it was reissued in Italy with a jewel case cover, retaining the same catalog number. That same year, it was distributed in South America by RCA Victor, in countries such as France, Venezuela, Peru, Brazil (where it was released under the title, Meus 18 Anos), and Argentina (where it was released as Otra Vez Rita).
