Afrodite
*2022 stock* Originally released by Armando Sciascia on his Vedette label, it also features Sante Palumbo, Oscar Rocchi, Giorgio Azzolini and Tullio De Piscopo. Telling Oscar Valdambrini and Dino Piana's story could be pointless for those who have been dealing with Jazz for years here in Italy. They are two of the most esteemed senators in our Jazz scene; two musicians who could cut a fine figure anywhere. The older is Valdambrini (turinese, born 1924), who was first noticed as a valued trumpete…
Il Grande Silenzio
Ennio Morricone's legendary soundtrack for the 1968 film Il grande silenzio (The Great Silence), directed by Sergio Corbucci and starring Jean-Louis Trintignant and Klaus Kinski. This melancholic, emotive score, deeply moving and as cold as the snow-covered landscape of the film (an unusual stylistic choice for a Western), is considered one of the best Western works by Morricone since his collaborations with Sergio Leone for the classic Dollars Trilogy and Once Upon a Time in the West. First…
Dream English Kid 1964 - 1999AD
he Death of Rave are dead chuffed to present the OST for Mark Leckey’s autobiographical film installation, Dream English Kid 1964-1999AD, arriving nearly four years since the Turner Prize winning artist booted off the label with his much-loved and inspirational Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore soundtrack - which was subsequently parsed by IVVVO on Mark Leckey Made Me Hardcore, and also provided a sampled backbone to Jamie xx’s In Colour LP. In Leckey’s own words: “Dream English Kid began when I found o…
Le Vampire
First time reissue of this groovy soul jazz EP, holy grail of the mythical Futura catalogue by french actress Anne-Marie Coffinet along with Siegfried Kessler, Pierre Culaz & Bernard Lubat… Remastered from the original tapes. Licenced by Gérard Terronès.
L'Enfant Assassin des Mouches (alternate takes)
Few copies back in stock. Late in 2015, exactly ten years since Finders Keepers Records first liberated Jean Claude Vannier’s 1973 French Holy Grail concept LP L’Enfant Assassin Des Mouches, the label was handed a very unexpected anniversary gift in the form of a small clutch of lost Vannier studio master tapes. Having worked closely with Jean Claude to leave no stone unturned both label and artist were shocked and delighted to be given what turned out to be further insights in to the musical i…
Magnetic Systems
From the same vibrant cinematic landscape of '70s studio supergroups as Goblin, The Pawnshop, The Feedback, and The Braen's Machine comes the Magnetic System, the Italian incognito dream-team composed of Milano prog keyboardist Vince Tempera, Cinevox sibling Franco Bixio, and video nasty maestro Fabio Frizzi (whose career it launched). Bridging giallo jazz-bass-driven prog and the arrival of home studios and synthesizers, the film music of the Magnetic System marked a sea change in Italian gen…

Presenting Popp!
2016 repress; Exact repro reissue of 1958's Presenting Popp! (also released as Popped!), an installment in Columbia's Adventures In Sound series. "...features marvelously comic and ingenious arrangements. André Popp's ability to bring surprising new mixes of instrumentation to conventional melodies has led some to compare him to Esquivel, but Popp's style is less other-worldly than just plain odd." -- Space Age Pop Music
Non si sevizia un paperino
Directed by Lucio Fulci in the Spring/Summer of 1972 on the lonely Apulian hills in the province of Bari, and released in theaters during the Fall of that same year, "Non si sevizia un paperino" (Don't torture a duckling) is among the most significant and representative works of the Italian genre cinema! The cast also includes Tomas Milian, Florinda Bolkan and Barbara Bouchet, an exceptional and unique triad, as is the work in question.At the corners of another virtual trio of '60-70s sou…
Auralgraphic Entertainment
"Inspired by the aural collage of The Beatles' 'Revolution Number 9,' Bill Holt quit his straight job in 1972 to follow his musical muse, hoarding various electronic gadgets and an acoustic guitar and holing up in his basement. He emerged a year later with Dreamies, one of the finest pieces of experimental pop from the era." --All Music Guide - "The overall effect is something like a primordial Olivia Tremor Control, and easily as wild and unfettered as anything The Residents were doing in t…
Proyecto A Proyecto B
Double LP version. Cosmic acid-psych-soul-funk-prog extravaganza from Spain, 1971. Proyecto A was the brainchild of the great Frank Dubé from Barcelona. What can one say about him? A truly fascinating character -- a pioneer of rock and roll and twist in Spain during the late '50s and early '60s, an accomplished accordion player, a showman, comedian, a psycho-aesthetics master -- but he should also be considered one of the first psychedelic pioneers in Spain due to his groundbreaking work on the …
Rare Music From The Cometa Library Vaults
As most library music geeks know, some of the finest, oddest and most sought-after library music comes from Italy. But collecting it is an expensive business, and one full of risks – many library LPs are one trackers but will still set you back hundreds. The second Pheon Records LP release is a trip through the Cometa library music vaults. To buy the originals featured here would cost you thousands of pounds today. How mental is that! So, here we present a twelve tracker – twelve killer …
A Virgem De Saint Tropez
A totally wonderful little soundtrack from the Italian golden era, originally released as 'Magia Erotica' in 1974 on Aguamanda Records, an Italian label active in the seventies, founded by Augusto Martelli / the style is a great mix of Italian and Brazilian, modes run from some of the cooler, larger arrangements you'd hear from Marcos Valle – especially in his early 70s years – to some moments that are a bit more spare, and mix in rootsy percussion, sweet keyboards, and jazzy touches on Fender …
Effetti Musicali
Effetti Musicali is a 1968 Piero Umiliani homemade album that exposes his art and his versatility. Listening to this album seems to show him among his keyboards and other implements to overlap sounds and create situations with no outside producer influence, in full artistic freedom. The result is an experimental psychedelic electro-acoustic album. From the original Umiliani family master tapes. Limited edition of 500 copies in a glossy cover.
We all love a bit of Umiliani, and here on this excep…
Habitat
The Fine Machine are Oscar Lindok (Giacomo Dell’Orso), Donimak (Nico Fidenco) and Proluton (Gianni Dell’Orso). An album more than ever representative of the variety and quality of Italian library music composers and its impeccable interpreters. There are all the elements that characterize the style and uniqueness of the sound produced in Italy at the beginning of the 70s. This is from 1972. There are a bunch of breakbeats, lots of percussion and liberal use of flute, piano/organ and electric gui…

One of the most sought after library LPs, breathtaking east meets west musical ideas by one of the abso…
Impressions In Rhythm And Sound
**small restock, last copies** Hand-crafted by renowned composer for exotic and erotic cinema Armando Sciascia in his bespoke Vedette Studio, the LP’s delirious instrumental concoction of pounding drums, supple bass, distorted piano, phased harpsichord, distressed organ and searing fretwork is a unique and lysergic Milanese trip. A clear predecessor to Sciascia’s legendary 1971 heavy psyche ‘Blue Phantom – Distortions’ LP, classic (and much bootlegged) tracks like the astounding ‘Circuito Chiuso…
