W Labiryncie
*2022 stock.* The turn of decades, time of far-reaching social changes and of little, private dramas and joys. These key themes were picked by Paweł Karpiński and Wojciech Niżyński for the TV series which by some is now considered as iconic. Its soundtrack, with guitar and synthesizer sounds, is a perfect fit for the series vibe. One more reason to go into ‘the labyrinth of human issues’.
“W labiryncie” TV series, produced between 1988 and 1991, was the first Polish soap opera used as lenses to …

Paisà Got Soul - Soul, AOR & Disco in Italy (1977-1986)
Compiled and conceived by David Nerattini partnered by Pierpaolo De Sanctis. Between the late 70s and the early 80s, pop music was in a transitional phase. After a return to the roots of punk, rock was morphing into new wave, while disco was rapidly declining and the electronic revolution, already on the rise, was ushering in the transition from analog to digital. This period also saw the emergence and relatively brief flowering of a commercially dominant style that mixed soul influences (especi…

La Novizia
Oops, Four Flies did it again! Like other rare Italian gems, Berto Pisano's La Novizia was long thought lost before the FF team rescued, restored and remastered it from the original tapes. And wow, it's just one of the best things, if not the best thing, about the 1975 film it was written for – an erotic comedy with melodramatic overtones directed by Pisano's long-time collaborator Giuliano Biagetti (they previously worked together on Interrabang and La Svergognata) and starring a young and mesm…
Mensenwerk / Een spoor van Carla
Pieter Verlinden (1934-2002) was an exceptional composer responsible for hundreds of scores and soundtracks for television, ballet, theatre and film. Only some of his soundtracks were released at the time, like De 5 van de 4-daagse (The Five Are Marching In, 1974), Een mens van goede wil (A Man of Good Will, 1974) and De dood van een non (Death of a Nun, 1976). Most of his work was only preserved on the original master tapes in his personal archive, so the majority of Verlinden’s music has never…

Fused!
**2022 stock** Davani's solo 1960s album (billed to "the Dave Davani Four) was a very respectable instrumental soul-jazz effort, with Davani's Hammond organ backed by the sort of sleek electric guitar and sturdy rhythm section one would have expected from mid-'60s Prestige soul-jazz sessions. Davani was a little (but not much) more pop-slanted than the average such Prestige act, particularly on the cover of "Big Boss Man," which with its harmonica and tambourine shows the influence of mid-'60s B…
Quando Le Donne Persero La Coda
*2022 stock. 300 copies limited edition* Originally C.A.M. had never released any disc with the OST by Bruno Nicolai from the movie "When Women Lost Their Tails," although Ennio Morricone had released an LP for the film "When Women Had Tails" in 1970 (SAG 9032). Finally in 2000 C.A.M. rereleased Morricone’s OST from the first film for the first time on CD (CAM 495375-2), which was combined with six tracks from Maestro Nicolai, inspired by the sequel. We should start by saying that "When Women L…
Porci con la p.38
"Porci con la P.38" is an almost unknown Italian crime movie directed in 1978 by Gianfranco Pagani - his only and soon forgotten work to date, for two main reasons: the modest quality of the final result and the historical period in which was made, the end of the '70s, when its film genre had practically dissolved. Its music score, on the other and, written by composer and conductor Pippo Caruso (1935-2018), is a quite different matter, and only by pure chance has just been luckily and very rece…
