*350 copies limited edition* Quartet Records, in collaboration with GDM and Sony EMI Music Italy, presents the premiere vinyl edition of the iconic Piero Piccioni score for Playgirl ’70, a dramatic-erotic vehicle directed by Federico Chentrens, starring Ira Von Fürstenberg, Luciana Paluzzi and Jean Sobieski. The film is about Jane, a young and fascinating model who participates in a cruise with some representatives of a rich and corrupt world connected to the cinema business. Jane’s beauty brings her only bitterness and disappointment.
The wonderful kaleidoscope of lounge oddness favors the composer’s jazz roots, shakes and intimate organ work, but also features delightful bursts of source music as well as the romantic side of maestro Piccioni.
Released on CD twice (but only in Japan), this forgotten Piero Piccioni masterpiece was never issued on LP, making it one of the most fan-requested titles in this format. This limited LP edition, pressed on audiophile 140 GM transparent white vinyl, has been specially restored and mastered by Chris Malone from the stereo master tapes. The luxurious artwork features the artistry of Luca Barcellona.
