Ruba Al Prossimo Tuo (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
*2022 stock* This CD encloses every musical note recorded in 1968. Just a curiosity: foreign versions of the movie are circulating with alternative music not penned by Ennio Morricone, extracted possibly from pre-existing libraries. Therefore our CD contains only the original music composed by Morricone, conducted perfectly by Bruno Nicolai. Ennio Morricone wrote a monothematic score including several orchestral variations of the main theme, a brilliant and very romantic motif with Lounge flavou…

" - "Zwei tolle Hechte auf dem Weg zum Himmel ") was a 1974 movie directed by Giuseppe Colizzi which starred the very famous American actors Keith Carradine (" Em…
Calypso - Is Like So!
When Harry Belfonte’s Calypso became the first LP to sell over a million copies, it stimulated an unprecedented calypso craze Stateside, with myriad musical and cultural repercussions. Of all the calypso oddities to appear in its wake, Robert Mitchum’s Calypso Is Like So is certainly the most curious, as well as the most enduring. On this debut LP as a singer, actor Mitchum tackles Sparrow’s ‘Jean And Dinah,’ King Radio’s ‘Not Me,’ Wilmouth Houdini’s ‘Cocount Water’ and other Trinidadian anthems…

Lesbo
Lesbo is a 1969 erotic film directed by Edoardo Mulargia, his only experiment in this genre within a filmography mostly focused on Western films and sentimental/romantic comedies. Calling "Lesbo" an underground film is practically an understatement, as no official home video releases of this movie seem to exist; its soundtrack instead has luckily survived to the present day and, given the caliber of its two composers, it could only be a terrific work.
The friendship between Francesco De Masi and…
Tulips
Frank Maston’s Tulips is a sample-ready film score to the best 70s movie never made. Originally a super-limited self-release on his Phonoscope label in late 2017, Tulips has already become incredibly sought-after. Be With were introduced to Maston by mutual friends Aquarium Drunkard and it didn’t take long before we decided this modern classic deserved a reissue. Inspired by the deep-grooving soundtracks of Italian cinema - think Morricone, Umiliani and Alessandroni - Maston conceived the entire…
Il Diavolo
Winner of the Goldener Bär at the 1963 Berlin Film Festival, Il Diavolo is the third feature film by director Gian Luigi Polidoro, an Italian film irregular who has signed only a handful of films poised between comedy and eroticism between the '60s and '80s. Written by Rodolfo Sonego and interpreted by an Alberto Sordi in a state of grace, Il Diavolo takes up a theme already addressed by Polidoro and Sonego in Le Svedesi of 1960, that is the Italic myth of the Swedish woman and trips to Scandina…
Il Boom
WHP preset a reissue of Piero Piccioni's original score for Il Boom, originally released on CAM in 1963. Written by Cesare Zavattini, directed by Vittorio De Sica, and interpreted by Alberto Sordi, Il Boom can be easily considered as one of the most peculiar film comedies in the Italian post-war era. Premiered in the USA in 2017, more than 50 years after its release in 1963, the film has been described as something between Buster Keaton, David Lynch, and Billy Wilder. Some sort of very current d…
Female Animal: The Original Soundtrack
New York-based Arlene Farber, who later had a bit part in The French Connection, was renamed Arlene Tiger by future husband, Jerry Gross, for the lurid Female Animal, one of the exploitation films he directed and distributed in the late 60s and early 70s (here under the alias Juan Carlo Grinella). With a debauched plot about the raunchy misfortunes that befell an attractive peasant girl (with Gross appearing as a pimp), the film benefitted from a lush soundtrack by the Clay Pitts Orchestra, writ…
