I'm Not Holding Your Coat - My Bruises-and-all Memoir Of Punk Rock Rebellion (Book)
From disenchanted Catholic schoolgirl and glam maniac to instigator on the 1980s hardcore punk scene, Nancy Barile discovered freedom at a time when punk music was new and dangerous. She made her place behind the boards and right in the front row as insurgents such as SSD, Minor Threat, Bad Brains, Dead Kennedys and Black Flag wrote new rules and made history. She survived punk riots and urban decay, ran the streets with outcasts, and ultimately found true love as she fought for fairness and fou…

Frälst! A Selection Of Swedish Christian Grooves 1969-1979
This collection presents some of the best and unique music that could be found on rare records released by the Swedish Christian communities between 1969-1979. Between doubt and faith, there was way out pop, gospel, funk, rock and psychedelic sounds with wah-wah fuzz guitars and conga rhythms. The common determinator: to spread the Christian message through music. Several of these cuts are from ultra-rare records that are known only to collectors, while others are from records so obscure that on…
Science Fiction Dance Party
Back in 1968 a pair of Germanic behind-the-scenes sound librarians called Horst Ackermann and Heribert Thusek left a tiny, but indelible, pinprick on the history of German Pop in the misshaped form of a sexy horror cash-in concept album called Dracula’s Music Cabinet. Shelved at a micro-cosmic axis where Krautrock meets easy listening meets psychedelia the delayed reaction of this mutant concoction eventually exploded in the mid-1990s in the hands of a generation of ‘record diggers’ sending curr…
Dracula's Music Cabinet
Finders Keepers presents this uber-rare soundtrack to a film that never existed, performed by an imaginery pop group. Incredible Polanski inspired German hip hop psychsploitation beats from 1969.
Patrick
*2022 stock* “Patrick” is an Australian thriller/horror movie made in 1978; at the beginning of the following year, Goblin were asked by the Italian distributor of the film, De Laurentis, to write a new soundtrack – originally composed by an Australian musician called… Brian May! – for the Italian movie market. The result is a mix of old songs chosen added by the Cinevox Record label and new selections, strongly influenced by Alan Parsons Project.

Amici Miei (Colonna Sonora Originale Del Film)
*2022 stock* This CD contains the soundtrack of one of the masterpieces of Italian cinema, "Amici miei", directed in 1975 by Mario Monicelli. The soundtrack was written by Carlo Rustichelli, one of the greatest composers of film music. It is built around the main theme, a waltz, and its variations. The jokes of the protagonsti are underlined by a theme that seems to recall Brecht, as well as the famous "Bella figlia dell'amore".
Poliziotto Solitudine E Rabbia
*2022 stock* Stelvio Cipriani has managed to capture the atmosphere of the story, writing a romantic commentary for piano and saxophone, introduced by Poliziotto Solitudine E Rabbia Seq. 1 which, varied with the guitar, will follow the daring deeds of the protagonist. The song is also reproposed in a vocal version during Poliziotto Solitudine E Rabbia Seq. 7 Inside the cd edition of "Poliziotto Solitudine E Rabbia (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack In Full Stereo)" (2012), a Digitmovies release…
L’Ultimo Treno della Notte
"L'Ultimo Treno della Notte" (Last Stop on the Night Train) is a 1975 thriller film directed by Aldo Lado, one of the most violent movies ever produced in Italy in the '70s (and beyond) that actually shows, even in the crudest scenes, for same admission of the director, a harsh attack against the bourgeois society and its powerful rich people. Despite the limited budget, the friendship between Aldo Lado and composer Ennio Morricone made this collaboration possible; nonetheless, only a 45rpm 7" w…
Volo
*2022 stock* "One of the last Goblin-related releases to arrive on CD thanks to the Cinevox label, the notorious `Volo' from 1982 is now reissued. The Eighties was not a banner year for much of anything prog-related, and with bass player Fabio Pignatelli the sole founding member here, he's joined by a mix of related ex-Goblin members and session players, and together they delivered a sleek set of pop/rock/funk pieces very much in the manner of the popular commercial styles of the time. While it'…
Il Gatto
*2022 stock* Reissue of Ennio Morricone's soundtrack to director Luigi Comencini's 1977 film with two previously unreleased bonus tracks added, alternate versions of 'Mariangela E La Seduzione' & 'Il Gatto'. 15 tracks total, with all delicately balanced between being refined classical arias and erotic themes. This is yet another extraordinary soundtrack by the genius master of Ennio Morricone. This is wonderful music that takes you back to the wonderful seventies.
Beat Vol. 2 - Lounge At Cinevox
*2022 stock* "After testing the waters with the solid but unexceptional Lounge at Cinevox: Beat, Vol. 1, Cinevox upped the ante with this more interesting second volume. Lounge at Cinevox: Beat, Vol. 2 has the edge on its predecessor because it boasts a more adventurous set of selections. This combination of factors is apparent from the first cut, a wild slab of psychedelic funk entitled "4 Mosche Di Velluto Grigio (Titoli)": After leaping out the speakers with a jazzy drum intro, this cut then …
Roy Colt & Winchester Jack
*2022 stock* This CD is the first complete soundtrack of the "Spaghetti" western "Roy Colt Winchester Jack" directed in 1970 by the Master of Horror Mario Bava who only rarely abandons his favorite genre to experiment with new ones.

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…
Non Ho Sonno (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
*2022 stock* "Non ho sonno isn’t exactly a return to the glory days of Suspiria and Roller, but it’s very good, and is worthy of purchase before most of the 1980’s soundtracks. Though Goblin managed to hold on to the 1970’s sound even on most of their 1980’s work, this album sounds much more like the 1980’s than the 1970’s or 1990’s, especially the guitar. As far as opening themes go, “Non Ho Sonno” is good. That basically goes for the rest of the music too. It’s all very good, but not as unique…
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…
Sinfonia Vaticana - L'Arte Dello Spirito
*2022 stock* Through his music Stelvio Cipriani has tried to give body and sensitivity to the symphony that the works of great Renaissance artists have continued to express through the centuries. The works in question are those of the Vatican. The artists are among the greatest that the history of mankind has ever produced, it is sufficient to mention only two names, Michelangelo and Raffaello. In Cipriani's music, the old and the new blend in modulations of profound consonance.
