L'uccello dalle piume di cristallo
* Black vinyl edition. Gatefold cover * Dario Argento’s opera prima ‘L’uccello dalle piume di cristallo’ was premiered in 1970 and marked an historical and revolutionary debut, being a truly original and innovative thriller.

Il gatto a nove code
2025 much-needed repress. Black Vinyl. "Il Gatto a Nove Code" (The cat o 'nine tails), filmed in 1971, is the second film by Dario Argento, a horror thriller still distant from his horror works for which he will later become famous on an international level. The collaboration with the composer and conductor Ennio Morricone, already known for his work on Sergio Leone’s western movies, is here renewed after the success of "The Bird with the Crystal Plumage", and will continue with the third insta…
4 Mosche di Velluto Grigio
Manic percussion, tense staccato strings, discordant piano riffs, and jazz-rock motifs – this is Il Maestro at his finest. 4 Mosche di Velluto Grigio (4 Flies on Grey Velvet) is the third and final part of Dario Argento's world famous cult, terror trilogy. Fear, according to Dario Argento, is hidden behind metaphorical, animal symbols that mirror degenerative urban decay, in other words a kind of mental zoo. Birds with crystal plumage, cats with nine tails, grey velvet flies, enough species to t…

Veruschka
Quartet Records, in collaboration with GDM and EMI General Music, presents a remastered reissue of the ultimate edition of Veruschka (1971), one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking scores Ennio Morricone composed during the busiest period of his career. The film is a weird production by fashion photographer Franco Rubartelli—a visually lush and moody head vehicle about European supermodel Veruschka. Composed a year before Maddalena, Ennio Morricone’s soundtrack has a certain connection to th…
Cuore di Mamma
Quartet Records, in collaboration with GDM and EMI General Music, presents a remastered reissue of the ultimate edition of the obscure Ennio Morricone score for Cuore di Mamma, a dramatic, grotesque story directed by Salvatore Samperi in 1969.

Danger: Diabolik
In 1967 Morricone was at the peak of his career, and his score for Diabolik can be ranked among his most spectacular achievements. It is quite amazing that no official album was ever released. Only a couple of bootlegs saw the light, based on the soundtrack of the movie, providing a fairly faithful account of the movie's atmosphere and of the music content. Their approach was paradoxical however: carefully taking out the parts of the music which were covered over by dialogue, but also adding dia…

Once Upon a Time in America

A so-called special edition saw the light on CD in 1998, adding 25 minutes to the program. It included a long suite which was actually a collage partly repeating previously released music. Combining the album tracks with additional music heard in the movie and removing the duplications, a program of more than 78 minutes was …
