Studio Uno 66 is an album by Italian singer Mina.

The album was released in the spring of 1966, topping the charts and yielding three top ten singles - "Ta-ra-ta-ta", "Una casa al cima al mondo" and "Se telefonando".[1]

"Se telefonando" is Mina's flawless interpretation of a difficult song, composed and arranged by Ennio Morricone to lyrics by Maurizio Costanzo. The main theme of the song thrills around just three notes, taken from the siren of a police car in Marseilles.[2] In the reader's poll conducted by the la Repubblica newspaper to celebrate Mina's 70th anniversary in 2010, 30,000 voters picked the track as the best song ever recorded by Mina.[3]

BMG reissued the album on CD in 1997.
