Hello Gentleman,

Does anyone of you have a disc of Battistini singing Caro mio ben?

Greetings

Caro Mio Ben does not appear in this discography. Are you sure Battistini recorded it?

Yes, I've found this also.

If i would have this disc of Battistini and an EMG to play it on my life would be complete and I would be ready to change the frequency for good. xd

Never too old to learn, I was unaware that he recorded for anyone other than G&T/HMV.
All you have to do now is find a copy of Caro Mio Ben for sale. Good luck with that!
Alternatively, Ward Marston has issued the complete Battistini recordings on CD.

I've had this disk for more than 15 years - but I won't sell it. In fact, it's my only one from Battistini.

I wouldn't sell it either. Well, I hope another copy will show up someday.
