https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RL1CVnPrQd8

In 1976 rank third place in the Sanremo Festival with Flight AZ504, which in the version engraved sees as a narrator Silvia Dionisio. The song strongly anti-abortion (she leaves him because he induced an abortion and hand with the flight of the title) creates controversy in a "hot" period as the seventies (two years later in Italy the IVG will be legalized by the law n. 194/78), but it also reveals an international success.

The following year (after entering training entire brass section of another complex of the same record company, the Palladium) bissano Sanremo's involvement with the Grand Prix, which tells the feelings of a driver who tries to reassure his partner about his daring work. The song was written by Cutugno inspired by the true story of one of his pilot friend of Formula 3, which had a serious accident.

In 1978 the group broke up. Toto Cutugno began his successful career as a soloist, while Mario Limongelli founded a few years later the record company NAR International and Losito and Weft continue his musical career as a session man. Maximum Viganò, a member of the first formation, he still performs with other musicians using the name Albatros.

The Albatros remain in the Italian music scene as an example of a group that combines progressive, melody and starred in a mix that was different from the existing groups multitudes in the seventies.
