Il Giocattolo
In 1979, Cinevox released an LP containing the soundtrack of "Il giocattolo" , composed by Ennio Morricone for Giuliano Montaldo's film of the same name. For years, the original masters of the recording session were thought to be lost. It was only in 2007 that they were rediscovered in perfect condition. This is the reason why Cinevox decided to make this new Cd edition. The original master allowed to correct some small imperfections contained in the LP. As a bonus track, five previously unrelea…

Orgasmo - Paranoia
Quartet Records, in collaboration with Beat Records, presents a premiere CD edition of classic Piero Umiliani scores for Umberto Lenzi’s double-bill Orgasmo and Paranoia. In 1969/1970, Umberto Lenzi helmed a trilogy of three giallo thrillers, all starring American- born actress Carroll Baker.

La Stanza del Vescovo
La stanza del vescovo (aka The bishop’s bedroom - La chambre de l’évèque) is a dramatic movie directed in 1977 by Dino Risi and starring Ugo Tognazzi, Ornella Muti and Patrick Dewaere. For this film Armando Trovajoli wrote one of his most intense soundtracks. The romantic, sad and dramatic music and the recurrent use of a moog keyboard perfectly reflect the loneliness of the main characters , all physically close but at the same time so distant from one another. M° Trovajoli arranged the classic…
Uno Scandalo Perbene
"Wonderful commentary by Riz Ortolani, author of a romantic and nostalgic theme, Uno Scandalo Perbene (Titoli), for strings and solo trumpet. The second track of the CD released by Cinevox, Amnesia, is along the same lines, with elliptical strings and sudden piano notes that cut through the thick fog of memories. While Vecchia Strada evokes the sound of an accordion, instrumental for the historical connotation of the work, the string section of Turbamento Ambiguo and Bruneri O Canella? overwhelm…
La Ciociara
*2022 stock* In this 1989 television remake of La ciociara, the curiosity in the soundtrack is all about the composer. Armando Trovajoli, after having composed the music for the original, has also taken it upon himself to write the score for this new version of the film.Obviously, compared to the masterful version made for the original, this second vision of the film is less articulated and interesting, however, Trovajoli's training, which began his career with the violin, pervades the main them…
Amo Non Amo (I Love You I Love You Not)
*2022 stock* This is an official release of the Goblin soundtrack to Amernia Balducci's film Amo Non Amo. The film, staring Jaqueline Bisset and Terrence Stamp, was released in the U.S.A. under the title Together with a soundtrack by Burt Bacharach. For the Italian prog group Goblin, the commission to rescore the Italian version presented a challenge that would produce some of their most unusual work. There was no spine-chilling horror in this human love story, so Goblin penned the title track, …
Zombi (Colonna Sonora Originale Del Film)
*2022 stock* This is the soundtrack of George Romero's classic nasty gore movie. Consequently some songs are directly in the vein of Goblin's proggy eccentricities, including bizarre arrangements and some others are totally reserved for the film and off course difficult to listen to outside of the context. The introduction theme figures among Goblin's ultimate classics, it delivers a massive, lugubrious atmosphere for doom bass lines, scary synth melodies and heavy drums. The title track takes b…
Il Dio Serpente (Colonna Sonora Originale Del Film)
*2022 stock* Soundtrack of "Il Dio Serpente" by Augusto Martelli composed for the 1970 film of the same name directed by Piero Vivarelli. The soundtrack contains the international hit "Djamballa".
Quei Disperati Che Puzzano Di Sudore E Di Morte (Original Soundtrack)
Los Desperados was released in 1967, and all that was issued from the soundtrack was two tracks on a 45 rpm single, one track being a vocal by john Balfour and also a short orchestral track on the B side of the record. Balfour has a distinct sounding voice, nearly as unique as that of fellow vocalist Raoul. Versions of the song are repeated throughout the soundtrack and make an appearance on 5 occasions during its duration. The score by Gianni Ferrio, is not a typical example of Italian western …
Murderock
*2022 stock* Murderock continues Keith Emerson's string of soundtrack albums he released after disbanding Emerson, Lake & Palmer in 1980. "Streets to Blame" and "Not So Innocent," which feature singer Doreen Chanter. It begins with pop songs and the remainder of the disc consists of instrumentals, from the jazzy, lighthearted "Coffee Time" to the heavily orchestrated "Candice," most of which are at the very least pleasant and all of which have moments of inspiration. Here are some of Emerson's b…
La Polizia Trilogy
Cinevox Record releases a special double cd containing all soundtracks composed by Stelvio Cipriani for the famous trilogy which includes the movies La polizia sta a guardare (1973 – Roberto Infascelli), La polizia chiede aiuto (1974 –Massimo Dallamano), La polizia ha le mani legate (1975 – Luciano Ercoli).The box represents a homage from Cinevox Record to the great composer, who recently passed away.

Bora Bora
* Expanded Edition with many extra tracks * Killer!!!! Bora Bora is a 1968 film directed by Ugo Liberatore who, under the pretext of telling about a marriage relationship crisis, depicts the eponymous Polynesian island as a place of perdition and absolute freedom, in contrast to the strict rules imposed by Western society. This movie is also referred as the 'debut' of the exotic/erotic film genre, which culminated a few years later with the famous adventures of Emanuelle Nera interpreted by Laur…
La Jetee
**Deluxe Edition, 200 copies on clear vinyl, Stoughton Tip-on gatefold cover** "'This is the story of a man, marked by an image from his childhood.' Thus begins, with deceptive simplicity, Chris Marker's La Jetée (1962). The film, by far Marker's bestknown work, synthesizes many of the elusive filmmaker's central preoccupations -- time and memory, power and resistance, the ephemerality and resilience of love -- yet it also undermines the very idea of film. Composed almost entirely of still photo…
Fantabulous
Roman saxophonist and clarinettist Sandro Brugnolini began his long recording career in the Junior Dixieland Gang in the early 1950s and came to greater prominence as chief composer in the Modern Jazz Gang, awarded best original composition for his ‘Arpo’ at Italy’s National Jazz Festival in 1958. Of the many film soundtracks he scored in the 60s, Fantabulous is the most legendary, Brugnolini bringing a jumble of mod jazz, psych-beat, freaky soul, and off-kilter pop into the mix, as an aural acc…
Island of the Hungry Ghosts
Deeper-than-deep field recordings, sub-aquatic drones and microtonal rhythmic flurries from veteran Aussie producer Aaron Cupples, composed exclusively for the award-winning hybrid documentary "Island of the Hungry Ghosts". Cupples, who's worked with Spiritualized, Blanck Mass, Broken Social Scene and others, was eager to reflect the atmosphere of Gabrielle Brady's film. The hybrid documentary follows the journey of millions of migratory crabs on Christmas Island and juxtaposes this phenomenon …
César et Rosalie
After Les choses de la vie, Transversales proudly presents the first ever LP reissue of this classic Philippe Sarde soundtrack: César et Rosalie. « As it happens, Philippe is less interested in his natural function which is to write music sheets... than in the film itself. And I, somehow, am as much, and perhaps more interested in the music than in the film itself. Therein lies the deep reason for our paradoxical relationship.” These are the words French film director Claude Sautet used to defi…
Sacco & Vanzetti
Goodfellas present a reissue of Ennio Morricone's soundtrack for Sacco & Vanzetti, originally released in 1971. A political statement, so to speak, the movie directed by Giuliano Montaldo in 1971 focused on the unfortunate events leading to the death of Italian immigrants Sacco and Vanzetti. The score was composed by maestro Ennio Morricone and featured two exclusive tracks sung by legendary singer/songwriter Joan Baez ("Here's To You" and "La Ballata Di Sacco E Vanzetti"). This is one of the m…
Codice d’amore orientale
**CD version** “Codice d’amore orientale” had been often labelled as one of the lowest points reached by the b-movies from the ’70s. Essentially, it is just a genuine attempt to exploit the success of the erotic genre, very popular at the time: the movie tells the story of two young lovers, running away from their families that were against their union. The two are given shelter by a minister of love, who introduces them to the secrets of Kamasutra.Definitely not an art-house film, and surely di…
