Anche Se Volessi Lavorare, Che Faccio?
"Released in 1972 on the Cinevox record label, Morricone’s score is in a word classic. It contains every musical trademark that we associate with the Maestro, quirky and jaunty backgrounds, romantic and poignant melodies, infectious and haunting musical interludes and emotive and heartrending passages that just melt the listener. The CD re-issue was also on Cinevox, and the company released it in the November of 2003, it contains a little more music than the LP recording in fact there are four …
L'uccello dalle piume di cristallo
*2022 stock* "Touted as being the definitive edition of Ennio Morricone's darkly seductive score for the first motion picture directed by Italian master of the macabre, Dario Argento, this release of L'uccello Dalle Piume Di Cristallo, or The Bird With The Crystal Plumage, coincides with the film's debut on Blu-ray (see separate review). The entire original soundtrack-album is presented here in stereo for the first time and, not only that, but a very generous helping of bonus and alternate track…
Schock (Transfert-Suspence-Hypnos)
*2022 stock* Back in '76 or so, Mario Bava wanted in on some of Argento's azione in the film music department. For his movies, Dario had enlisted some homegrown twentysomethings fresh from sessions in England as an outfit alternately called Oliver and Cherry Five. The quartet, rechristened Goblin, had cranked up their amplifiers to score Dario's two very popular films, the bloody Profondo Rosso and the supernaturally-inclined Suspiria. Bava wanted the same kind of sonorous edge for his next fora…
Per un Pugno di Samba
"Per un Pugno di Samba" is the fifth album recorded by Francisco Buarque de Hollanda, known as Chico Buarque, one of the most important authors and interpreters of Brazilian popular music. The album, released in 1970, was recorded during a self-imposed exile in Italy in 1969 following the arrest he had suffered in Brazil in 1968 for his political commitment against the military dictatorship.

Milano Trema: la Polizia Vuole Giustizia
"Milano trema:la polizia vuole giustizia" (aka “The violent professionals”) directed by Sergio Martino in 1973.

Commissioner Caneparo who, after being suspended in his service, for his unorthodox ways, he wants getting revenge for a colleague’s death. The fearless cop introduces himself in the cr…
Il Serpente
“Il serpente” (aka “The Serpent”) is a thriller directed in 1973 by Henri Verneuil, with a screenplay by Henri Verneuil and Gilles Perrault, based on the novel “Le 13eme suicide” by Pierre Nord. For "Il serpente," Ennio Morricone perfectly managed to describe the tense atmosphere of this high-voltage espionage thriller, alternating dramatic and mysterious passages ("Assassinio sul lago," "Il serpente"), experimental ("Astrazione con ritmo," "Esplicitamente sospeso") with other soft and sensual o…
Background Action
“Classic library breaks and beats set of super-heavyweight espionage-funk. One of two Be With forays into the archives of revered British library institution Conroy, we present one of our favourites on the label – the super in-demand Background Action from Sammy Burdson, originally released in 1975. Rare and sought-after for many years now, this is one of those cult library LPs that rarely turns up on even the deepest dig.Sammy Burdson was one of the many, many aliases of the mighty Austrian com…

La Cosa Buffa
In 1973 Aldo Lado directs the movie “La cosa buffa” , inspired by the eponymous book by Giuseppe Berto and starring Gianni Morandi and Ottavia Piccolo. The soundtrack is composed by Ennio Morricone, who uses Edda Dell’Orso’s marvellous voice to create an unforgettable theme, both sweet and sensual. The soundtrack was originally released on vinyl and included nine tracks. More than 20 tracks, mostly alternative versions of the main theme, were recovered during the digitization of Cinevox master …
Cosi' Come Sei
The deluxe edition of the original soundtrack of the movie Così come sei, composed by Ennio Morricone. The film was directed by Alberto Lattuada and starred Marcello Mastroianni and Nastassja Kinski.

La Moglie Piu' Bella
This is the complete remastered edition of the soundtrack of Damiano Damiani's 1979 film "La moglie più bella" starring a very young Ornella Muti. For the soundtrack of this film, set in a peasant Sicily where the Mafia rules, Morricone composed an extremely sad central theme to which he alternated instrumental parts made with percussion instruments and characterized by the sound of a Jew's harp.
Il Giocattolo
In 1979, Cinevox released an LP containing the soundtrack of "Il giocattolo" , composed by Ennio Morricone for Giuliano Montaldo's film of the same name. For years, the original masters of the recording session were thought to be lost. It was only in 2007 that they were rediscovered in perfect condition. This is the reason why Cinevox decided to make this new Cd edition. The original master allowed to correct some small imperfections contained in the LP. As a bonus track, five previously unrelea…
Orgasmo - Paranoia
Quartet Records, in collaboration with Beat Records, presents a premiere CD edition of classic Piero Umiliani scores for Umberto Lenzi’s double-bill Orgasmo and Paranoia. In 1969/1970, Umberto Lenzi helmed a trilogy of three giallo thrillers, all starring American- born actress Carroll Baker. The first film in the trilogy is Orgasmo (entitled Paranoia in the USA, which has always caused confusion between the two films), which stars Baker as a woman who takes in the troublesome young driver Lou C…

Amo Non Amo (I Love You I Love You Not)
*2022 stock* This is an official release of the Goblin soundtrack to Amernia Balducci's film Amo Non Amo. The film, staring Jaqueline Bisset and Terrence Stamp, was released in the U.S.A. under the title Together with a soundtrack by Burt Bacharach. For the Italian prog group Goblin, the commission to rescore the Italian version presented a challenge that would produce some of their most unusual work. There was no spine-chilling horror in this human love story, so Goblin penned the title track, …
Squadra Antigangsters (The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
*2022 stock* The Squadra Antigangsters soundtrack is one of the most unusual and atypical entries in the Goblin canon. Even the most dedicated fans of the group could be excused for not recognizing this album as a Goblin outing: the brash theatrics and heaviness that dominated the likes of Suspiria and Roller are totally absent, replaced by a slick, often jazzy sound that is overtly disco-influenced. The most disco-oriented of the cuts are "The Whip" and "The Sound of Money," both being vocal nu…
