'Se On Elämää' 1968
YLEn äänilevystön tietojen mukaan Lea Lavenin versio ("Se on elämää") äänitettiin 17.10.1969, ja Kristianin versio 6.5.1969. Tiedot ovat ilmeisesti tarkistettu Teostosta.
As we file spots here, Who was first Nada or The Rokes... in those times there were always two presenters of one song in San Remo... The Rokes made their version too in 1969 Festivals.
