LP, 140-gram black vinyl, limited edition of 300. The film belongs to the golden run of the Italian poliziottesco, folding crime, political intrigue and social criticism into a cynical portrait of corruption and institutional power set against the unrest of the Years of Lead.  Luis Bacalov, who would later win an Academy Award for Il Postino and whose Django theme is part of the western canon, answered it with one of the most distinctive scores of his prolific career.

Moving easily between hard-edged suspense, dramatic orchestral writing and contemporary rhythmic textures, Bacalov catches both the urban brutality and the melancholy running beneath the story. Un Uomo solo contro la Città, Criminalità urbana and the recurring title theme show the range, memorable melodic material set against the modern sounds that defined so much 1970s Italian genre cinema. It remains among his most admired contributions to the crime film, a score that complements the picture's dark vision while standing comfortably on its own. The complete score appears here newly restored from the original master tapes, mastered by Chris Malone and pressed on 140-gram black vinyl by Quartet Records.

A welcome addition to any shelf devoted to Italian film music, on vinyl at last. Limited to 300 copies, and once the word gets out it is going to fly. First-ever vinyl edition, complete score, newly restored from the original master tapes.
