Super Tip! Remastered, Gatefold LP edition of cult score Scacco alla Regina, a 1969 movie directed by Pasquale Festa Campanile, taken from the book of Renato Ghiotti, screenplay by Brunello Rondi and Tullio Pinelli, music by Piero Piccioni. A weird story with psychedelic athmoshperes, with costumes similar to the Star Treck series and with the wonderful music of Piero Piccioni, one of the best composer in the international scene. Edda Dell'Orso lends her haunting, wordless vocal, too.
The composer perfectly describes the atmosphere of the movie. Themes are sometime slow and tender, sometime mysterious and psychedelic, sometime wild and fast. In this new edition Cinevox Record added ten previously unreleased tracks from original stereo master tapes: fascinating alternate takes and film versions.
The album also includes Blue Rhythm Festival from Bora, Bora used during the sequence of the night party at the villa.
