The Plastic Cow Goes Moooooog
"With sound engineer and synth wizard Bernie Krause and Paul Beaver on board, this record falls easily in the realm of space-age pop. Originally released in 1970 on Dot Records and distributed by Paramount Pictures, the album would have been a dj tool favorite for quite a while, thanks to some heavy breaks and proto-electro loops. Featuring amazing rendition of pop-rock classics such as Born To Be Wild, Sunshine of Your Love, Lay Lady Lay and The Ballad of John and Yoko, this is a truly welcomed…
Permissive Polyphonics
"As if the title doesn't give it away, Permissive Polyphonics finds Enoch Light, the king of studio kings, attempting to make it in the groovy, quadraphonic age. Featuring the gassy Puppet Man, a futuristic rendition of Sergio Mendes Mas Que Nada – with bass flute courtesy of veteran Don Ashworth - and Pass and I Call You with Dick Hyman stunny organ and Vinnie Bell fuzzy guitar, this album is an extraordinary example of easy listening at the turn of the revolutionary flower power era. Originall…
La Planete Sauvage - Original Soundtrack Recording
**2020 Repress** Animated sci-fi masterpiece La Planète Sauvage (a.k.a. Fantastic Planet), winner at Cannes Film Festival in 1973, is a bizarre and beautiful film. Towering blue-skinned figures, tiny humanoids in the midst of revolt, and drug-induced Tantric sex transport viewers to a truly magical setting. Composer Alain Goraguer creates an equally hypnotic score from a palette of effects-laden guitars, flutes, Fender Rhodes and strings. While the lush arrangements are reminiscent of Goraguer's…

Vill Så Gärna Tro - vol. 1
Great soundtrack by Bundrick and Nash. Probably most known for featuring Bob Marley on guitar. Recorded while he lived in Stockholm, Sweden between March and July in 1971.

Bedazzled
A legendary soundtrack to a legendary film. Originally written by Peter Cook and Dudley Moore for the cult British movie Bedazzled (1967). A sublime musical mixture of pop, jazz, psyche and stupidity, this rare score sadly became the victim of terrible bootlegs in the late '90s, when classic 1960s scores became very much in demand to the easy/jet-set/soundtrack in-crowd. First pressings have always been very hard to find. This is the first legal repress. It comes with the first ever repress of P…
Graf Dracula Beisst Jetzt in Oberbayern / Dracula Blows His Cool
Graf Dracula own's a castle in Bavaria which is highly frequented by German Playmates & models. The reason seems so be his castle discotheque ''Drop In''. Located in the basement of the castle - only the most obscure psychedelic space disco landing on the turntables and no rules for wearing clothes seem to exist!Composer Gerhard Heinz, the unknown Austrian legend. Born 1927, he composed 136 soundtracks, mostly to sleazy movies like "Josefine Mutzenbacher", "Ehepaar sucht Gleichgesinntes", "Insel…
Lolita am Scheideweg
**250 copies, deluxe edition** Groovy funk, cosmic sitar beats, psychedelic flangers and chilled balearic disco songs produced by Austrian producer Gerhard Heinz in 1980! This album is a real surprise and going to be an awesome release for all fans of rare soundtracks, porn Disco, Jess Franco movies and obscure DJ tracks. The ridiculous German title of this soundtrack by Gerhard Heinz is already a reason for buying the vinyl: Lolita Am Scheideweg aka 'Eugenie (Historia de una perversion) - Spain…
Progressive Percussions
Eddie Warner, born in Magdeburg, Germany, in 1917, was one of the leading figures in European exotica in the 1950s, operating from France, where he ended up at after the war. His repertoire of styles included several kinds of jazz- and Latin-based dance music such as mambo, baião, and chachachá, but, as a tireless explorer, he also found refuge in the library music and electronic sounds department. A cornerstone of his work in that field, Progressive Percussions, was originally released i…
Metti Una Sera A Cena
Quite possibly the greatest Morricone score ever – and one whose dreamy bossa-inflected title theme has been covered a number of times over the years (most recently by the group Balanco!) From the first minutes of the album, you'll instantly recognize the main theme – as it's swells of voices and lilting keyboards are among one of Morricone's best signatures from the time. Don't worry about getting bored because you may already know it, though – as the album has loads of other beautiful …
America Giovane
First official reissue ever, certified holy-grail. Edition of 300 copies, black vinyl 180gr. Comes with Obi, and original liner notes by Jonny Trunk** At the end of the '60s in Italy - but also abroad, especially in France and England - a very particular trend began to spread, that one known as 'Library music' or 'sonorization': as suggested by its name, those were real music libraries intended for the accompaniment of audiovisual productions such as television programs, advertisements, document…
Musica Per Commenti Sonori
Limited edition of 400 copies. Remastered from the original master tapes. An extraordinary Italian Library recording originally released on the Costanza output in 1974 – series “Musica Per Commenti Sonori” with a mispressed catalogue number. The unveiled twin session of legendary Stefano Torossi’s Feelings album featuring the same line-up and same composers of that lucky production including music and direction by Giancarlo Gazzani and compositions made by Sandro Brugnolini and Stefano Torossi h…
Godzilla / Escape
Magnetic System were a sort of supergroup founded in the second half of the ’70s, consisting of three of the greatest Italian composers, musicians, arrangers and producers: Vince Tempera, Franco Bixio and Fabio Frizzi. This wasn’t their only artistic collaboration, but under the name of Magnetic System only a 7-inch had been released in 1977, containing the two tracks “Godzilla” and “Escape”. The first track “Godzilla” is very peculiar, taken from the soundtrack of a rare ’77 movie conceived an…

I'll Be Anything For You
"Tamiko Jones - born Barbara Tamiko Ferguson in 1945 in Kyle, West Virginia – debuted in 1967 on Atlantic with flautist and mentor Herbie Mann on the soul-jazz-bossa flavored A Mann & A Woman. Her solo career take off in 1968 with the rare groove inflected I'll Be Anything For You, released on A&M/CTI and produced by label owner Creed Taylor. Recorded and engineered by master Rudy Van Gelder at his own Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, the album is such a lovely combination of soul-funk ja…
Paranoia - Orgasmo
**gatefold sleeve, never released before, out in mid June** "Four Flies digs harder and deeper! This missing soundtrack by Piero Umiliani par excellence, and considered by many to be lost, is finally fully recovered from six master tapes which contain the original complete recording sessions! Orgasmo (better known worldwide as Paranoia) is the first chapter of the famous giallo trilogy that Umberto Lenzi filmed starring former “Baby Doll” Carroll Baker, depicting a story of diabolical lovers and…
Paranoia
**300 copies, to be released in mid June** "To complete the Orgasmo / Paranoia soundtrack set, Four Flies adds two songs to the cake (both not included in the LP version). An alternate take of Lydia MacDonald's Fate Had Planned So, more rhythmical and dynamic than the one used for the titles sequence, and the soul hit Just Tell Me, sung by the American Wess, and performed by his Airedales. The song is heard repeatedly in Orgasmo, but it’s also used in the following film, A Quiet Place to Kill, w…
The All American Powerhouse
Originally released in 1976, "The All American Powerhouse" is one of the very best of the Themes library releases. It’s killer. A feast of dramatic jazz, horizontal, melodic funk and bouncing sunshine-y West-Coast feels throughout, there also lurks an intense injection of the Blaxploitation sound. Understandable, given the subject matter and year it was released.
Il Medico Della Mutua / Il Prof. Dott. Guido Tersilli ...
"Il medico della Mutua" and "Il Prof. Dott. Guido Tersilli..." are two Italian cult films, released in theaters in 1968 and 1969 respectively; both see Alberto Sordi as main character, an initially unknown doctor that makes its way in a rigid and almost impenetrable system as that of the Italian health, and eventualy manages to open his own private clinic in which to speculate at the expense of his patients.The two films, while dealing with the problems and contradictions of a system still 'sick…
