A tour in Continental Europe and Scandinavia followed in 1987 on which Bissi performed tracks from the "Park Hotel" album alongside reworked arrangements of songs from her earlier repertoire; the romantic "Una notte speciale" became an up-tempo rock track, breakthrough single "Il vento caldo dell'estate" was given an updated synthesizer and drum-machine treatment while songs like "La Mano", "Rumbarock" (retitled "Hispavox") and "Notte a Roma" were performed unplugged with acoustic guitars and sparse percussion. After the completion of the tour six of these interpretations were recorded in studio and released on the album "Elisir" which also included two previously unreleased songs, the opening track "Nuvole" ("Clouds") and a cover version of Lennon and McCartney's "The Fool on the Hill", released as the lead single. "Elisir" was later awarded the prestigious prize "Goldene Europa" for sales on the German-speaking markets. In Japan the album was released under the title "Kusamakura" ("Grass Pillow") and then included the new recording "Le scogliere di Dover" ("The reeves of Dover"), with which Alice participated in the World Popular Song Festival in Tokyo in early 1988.
