Title:	Morricone 2000
Label:	DAGORED (ITALY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.50
Catalog #:	RED 105CD

"Great compilation with 16 tracks culled from eight different original soundtracks from the past. Track listing and liner notes by Alan Bishop of the Sun City Girls." "This collection is a view from the top of the food chain; 16 boxcars of luminosity from an archival train that could span this earth. Culled from 8 original soundtracks in the Beat Records catalog, some of these cuts are impossible to describe. What kind of music is 'Una Corsa Disperata'...high drama orchestral psychedelia? How about 'Veni Sancte Spiritus'...an acid rock opera in Vatican City? And how could the sweet-syrup majesty of the theme to 'Il Grande Silenzio' possibly accompany a murderous Klaus Kinski on the screen during Sergio Corbucci's epic spaghetti western, the only one filmed in three feet of snow?" -- Alan Bishop.

Title:	Revolver
Label:	DAGORED (ITALY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.50
Catalog #:	RED 112CD

"Long-awaited original soundtrack recording for this 1972 obscure Italian crime story (US title: Blood In The Streets) starring Oliver Reed. Really fine dramatic score by the Maestro." From Roberto Zamori's liner notes: "Morricone reaffirms here his concept that film music can (or rather, must) claim its own independence regarding style, contents and form. The elegance of the orchestration, made all the more evident by the resolute orchestra direction of the talented, late Nicolai, makes this core one of the more interesting works of the Roman composer in the series of detective stories and thrillers."

Title:	Dawn of the Dead
Label:	DAGORED (ITALY)
Format:	LP
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	RED 117LP

"The original soundtrack recording for this 1979 US cult movie by horror director George A. Romero (the epic sequel to his legendary Night Of The Living Dead). Terrific music score by Goblin and Dario Argento (yes, the Italian director). Liner notes by Roberto Zamori. Free poster included. 180 gram vinyl in gatefold sleeve." "In contrast to Argento's own fretful tempos, Goblin create a plodding, lumbering main theme which fits the slow movement of massed zombies. Fat drums, chunky bass, tubular bells, spaced-out synth chords -- the arrangement is a mutation of Black Sabbath's first LP and Morricone's early Spaghetti Western scores. Inappropriately overstated? Maybe. Luridly stylish? Definitely." -- Philip Brophy/The Wire.

Title:	Gli Occhi Freddi Della Paura
Label:	DAGORED (ITALY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.50
Catalog #:	RED 119CD

"This, the only credited soundtrack appearance of Gruppo di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza, makes you wish Morricone had used his free improv unit for that purpose more often. Gli Occhi Fredda Della Paura, or Cold Eyes of Fear, is an Italian slasher (giallo) from 1971. The score has Il Gruppo augmented by a rhythm section and a fuzz-wah guitarist (most likely Alessandro Alessandroni). The results sound like a creepy take on 70s Miles Davis, with driving jazz beats and psychedelic guitar jabs filtering in and out of the suspenseful textural mayhem provided by Il Gruppo: ashtrays in pianos, bowed cymbals, scraping metal, jittery horns, string drones, etc. Besides an odd one in the Morricone canon, Gli Occhi is also an unusual endeavor for Il Gruppo. The ensemble set out to avoid all musical conventions: '...no sounds bound to the tonal system, no rhythmic periodicity, no motives, and no repetition allowed...,' yet here they break Franco Evangelisti's rules and find themselves locked in some serious grooves. This Dagored issue is the definitive version with great sound and seven previously unreleased ques on both vinyl and CD. I don't blame anyone for being on the fence or only occasionally dipping their toes in the world of Morricone, that world is a confounding and oft disappointing one -- the man scored nearly 400 films and finding the nuggets is tough. However, this is the one that all you adventurous/out-music gluttons needs to be able pull off the shelve when the avant-garde police knock on your door. Yep, this is THE ONE." -- Frank van den Elzen.

Format:	LP
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	RED 120LP

"Originally released in 1968, this is one of the most bizarre records ever released and one of the most sought after titles on the collectors' market. The Maledictus Sound are to instrumental rock what Frankenstein was to science... a laboratory monster... a strange creature assembled from a mish-mash of diverse musical sounds... psychedelic pop, romantic ballads, musical tongue-in-cheek, drugged out chipmunks, near-delirium sound effects, horror movie screamadelia and a mega-twisted '60s vibe... eclectic, epileptic... for Jello Biafra this is 'some of the most screaming exotica-psych I've ever heard in my life.' Original artwork. Contains a free poster. 180 gram HQ vinyl, gatefold sleeve."

"Bobby Womack's original soundtrack to the 1972 blaxploitation classic Rubare Alla Mafia � Un Suicidio, (better known by its original US title Across 110th Street), directed by Barry Shear is one of the best scores of the early 70s thanks to Bobby Womack's amazing 'Across 110th Street' title track (famously used by Quentin Tarantino in Jackie Brown). Also includes 'If You Don't Want My Love', 'Quicksand', 'Do It Right', 'Hang On In There' plus extra cool instrumentals by composer/conductor J.J. Johnson. All new artwork."

Title:	Suspiria
Label:	DAGORED (ITALY)
Format:	LP
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	RED 127LP

"Suspiria (1976) recapitulates the formulaic accoutrements of symphonic rock (compound time signatures, ornate instrumentation, vainglorious tone, melodramatic structure, self-aggrandising solos, etc) yet in its feverish simulation of the vocabulary, it somehow transcends the dated conventions of the form. More than Deep Red (which occasionally affects jazz fusion styling), Suspiria salaciously degenerates into atonal freeform passages which evoke a pap paganism to create some chilling moments of terror. Argento's murderous gaze and psychosexual camera work is matched by the hedonistic fever with which Goblin rake over the cliches of symphonic rock, stoking them into an overblown spectacle of operatic effect. While conservative critics bemoan both the excessiveness of Italian exploitation cinema and the numbing bombast of rock scores, Argento and Goblin collaborate to create a potent and toxic fusion of the two, blending their co-existing strains of perversity." -- Philip Brophy, Secret History of Film Music, THE WIRE, April 98.

The movie (known in the US as One On The Top Of The Other or Perversion Story) has one of the best and well-known scores written by the mighty Riz Ortolani.

"The original soundtrack recording for this 1966 Italian spaghetti western directed by Sergio Leone... the classic theme is Morricone's most famous composition and topped the charts in the US and Europe covered by Hugo Montenegro... moments of intense drama and incredible beauty that are rarely heard in motion picture underscores... there's a traditional element with a brassy feel to it, with thundering percussions, various arrangements of voices, a lot of bells, clanging acoustic and electric 'surfing' guitars, and even a prepared piano... contains 10 previously unreleased outtakes... digitally remastered... new artwork... gatefold sleeve... 180 gram HQ vinyl...

Title:	OST Indagine Su Di Un Cittadino Al Di Sopra Di Ogni Sospetto
Label:	DAGORED (ITALY)
Format:	LP
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	RED 138LP

"The original soundtrack recording for this 1970 Italian thriller by Elio Petri known in the US as Investigation Of A Citizen Above Suspicion. Beautiful stuff from Morricone with a haunting set of themes played on vibes, plucked strings and some very odd-sounding instruments. This score has the usual dreamy and minimally melodic style that made Morricone's fame. Featuring Edda Dell'Orso. New artwork. Gatefold sleeve. 180 gram HQ vinyl."

Artist:	MORRICONE, ENNIO
Title:	OST Il Serpente
Label:	DAGORED (ITALY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.50
Catalog #:	RED 142CD

"The original soundtrack recording for this 1972 Italian/French spy thriller directed by Henri Verneuil. The movie (known in the US as Night Flight From Moscow and starring Yul Brynner, Henry Fonda, Dirk Bogarde and Philippe Noiret) has one of Morricone's best scores. If you are familiar with his Una Lucertola Con La Pelle Di Donna soundtrack, you are getting an even better idea 'cause this is very much like that one. Along with the best known track 'Tema Per Una Donna Sola' (a very nice romantic theme), 'Nadine' (a brilliant pop instrumental), and 'Canzone Lontana' (featuring Edda Dell'Orso) the score contains lots of weird and scary instrumental sounds for a dark and noisy, totally atonal Morricone's masterpiece. Contains 16 previously unreleased tracks. New artwork."

Title:	OST Che C'Entriamo Noi Con La Rivoluzione?
Label:	DAGORED (ITALY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.50
Catalog #:	RED 145CD

"Original Morricone soundtrack for this classic 1972 Italian 'tortilla-western' directed by spaghetti western king, Sergio Corbucci (perhaps best known for his classic Django [1966] and Navajo Joe, [1967], starring Burt Reynolds. Although the spaghetti western genre was invented by men like Corbucci and Sergio Leone, it was Ennio Morricone who gave the genre its distinctive flavor. Unlike many spaghetti westerns, Che C'entriamo Noi Con La Rivoluzione? was intended as a comedy, evident by the presence of two of Italy's most famous comic actors: Vittorio Gassman and Paolo Villaggio. The light-hearted subject matter gave Morricone the opportunity to explore less familiar terrain -- the result being a surprisingly experimental blend that makes the soundtrack an essential Morricone recording. Only 3 of the 17 tracks have ever been previously released."

Title:	OST I Figli Ci Chiedono Perche

Catalog #:	RED 146CD

"Morricone's original soundtrack for the 1972 Italian drama by Nino Zanchin and starring Umberto Orsini, Susanna Melandri and Rosemarie Dexter. Morricone's melancholy soundscapes masterfully capture the tragic tale of the forbidden friendship between a young Israeli girl and Palestinian boy during a war between Israel and Palestine -- unfortunately still a timely tale. Ethereal vocals by the legendary Edda Dell'orso. Includes 7 bonus tracks."

Title:	OST South Seas Adventure
Label:	DAGORED (ITALY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.50
Catalog #:	RED 147CD

"1958's South Seas Adventure was the fifth and last in a series of full-length documentaries designed especially for the 3-camera/3-projector Cinerama technology. The Cinerama Adventure was a new type of film that traded in big-name stars and plot in an attempt to give the audience a virtual reality-type experience, in this case, a trip in the South Seas. Although the Cinerama films have since become cult classics, the original soundtrack for the film was just one item in composer Alex North's hefty repertoire, which included the soundtracks to such classic films as Spartacus (1960), Cleopatra (1963), A Streetcar Named Desire (1951), The Bad Seed (1956), and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966)." Original Artwork.

Artist:	KINGSLEY, GERSHON
Title:	First Moog Quartet
Label:	DAGORED (ITALY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.50
Catalog #:	RED 148CD

"In 1970, Kingsley formed the pioneering First Moog Quartet, a four-synthesizer ensemble that attempted to prove that the electronic music could be played 'live' on stage, even in classical musical venues like Carnegie Hall (where the group gave the first live performance of synthesized music ever on January 30, 1970). Kingsley said, 'People were kind of confused about the concert, I understand, because it was just so new.' In order to get the Moog Quartet going, Kingsley had to convince Robert Moog to build three other synthesizers he needed. Then hire and train four musicians to play them. Not an easy task. But Kingsley's First Moog Quartet (originally released in 1970 on Audiofidelity) is the astonishing result." Original artwork, with fold-out digipak and booklet of original liner notes.

Artist:	EL-BAKKAR & HIS ORIENTAL ENSEMBLE, MOHAMMED
Title:	Music for a Belly Dancer
Label:	DAGORED (ITALY)
Format:	2LP
Price:	$27.00
Catalog #:	RED 153LP

"One of the brightest Middle Eastern stars, already renowned for having performed for royalty, including the Shah of Iran, the late Mohammed El-Bakkar became famous in the United States for his leading role as a tenor in the Broadway musical Fanny. After this performance he immediately became a superstar for New York City's Middle Eastern community and his popularity soon spilled over into the mainstream as well. Collected in this 2LP set are his belly dancing masterpieces 'The Magic Carpet' and 'Sultan Of Bagdad' which -- despite a very obsolete culturally characterized stereotype -- give us an excellent example of the music that accompanies one of the most sensual traditions in the history of ritualistic dance."

Artist:	LORD INVADER
Title:	Calypso
Label:	DAGORED (ITALY)
Format:	LP
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	RED 154LP

"Musically active since 1937, Trinidadian Rupert Grant aka Lord Invader obtained his nom-de-calypso from his tailor who had predicted his success saying 'when you go up to the city you be invading the capital'. Sent to New York in 1941 by his label to promote Calypso, his main song 'Rum and Coca-Cola', featured here, was stolen from him and soon became a huge hit for the Andrews Sisters. He eventually won a lawsuit against producer Morey Amsterdam but by the time he saw the money he already had flown to Great Britain (1945) where other calypsonians like Lord Kitchener had found success. This record, originally issued in 1956 on Audio Fidelity, witnesses the importance of the calypso tradition not only as a form of entertainment but also -- and often mainly -- as a form of political criticism towards the wartime presence of US soldiers ('Yankees') in Trinidad."

Artist:	SHADES OF JOY
Title:	Music of El Topo
Label:	DAGORED (ITALY)
Format:	LP
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	RED 155LP

"Recorded in San Francisco in 1970 and originally released on the Douglas label, obscure Shades of Joy's Music Of El Topo is commonly associated with the visionary western-on-acid epic film El Topo by Chilean born Ukrainian Jewish multi-medial artist Alejandro Jodorowsky as its soundtrack, despite another unrelated album on the Apple label being credited as the true soundtrack to the flick. Nevertheless, this intriguing piece of urban jazz funk fusion delivers seven instrumental mantras whose core is neatly amalgamated by the fine art of a great ensemble, here together only for this seemingly extemporized job. The idea of 'soundtrack' is here superbly interpreted and leaves the listener puzzled about the short life of this incredible gathering of exceptional musicians." Gatefold sleeve.

Artist:	LAST POETS, THE
Title:	Right On!
Label:	DAGORED (ITALY)
Format:	LP
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	RED 156LP

"The Black Renaissance and its related movements may never be fully comprehended if the work of the Last Poets does not hold an important place in one's discography. The sensational self-titled 1970 debut album (GET8005) and its follow up This Is Madness (GET8009) come full circle with our re-release of the Poets' soundtrack to Herbert Danska's 1971 movie Right On!, an example of poetry in motion through the multiple verbal attacks by this ensemble of African American musicians / protesters. Danska was awarded the Choice Of Directors prize at the 1971 Cannes film Festival and his work hinges on 'the beginning of new movies, where Black and Third World art is going' (from the original LP's liner notes by Imamu Baraka aka LeRoi Jones, one of the sharpest poets of the Black cultural revolution). This album continues the Poets' deep research in music, so original and unique that it became known as 'jazzoetry' for its well rounded way of conjugating both musical and lyric disciplines."

Title:	Trinidad Steel Band
Label:	DAGORED (ITALY)
Format:	LP
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	RED 157LP

Subtitled: 'A Study in High Fidelity Sound'. "Originally released on Audio Fidelity in 1956, this 12 track album outlines an interesting phenomenon which developed in Trinidad during the last years of British colonization. Prevented from using skin drums -- banned by the British in an attempt to suppress African tribal customs -- Trinidadians began using steel tubes and sticks to create a new form of urban sound which, like the musical expression of many other long colonized countries, brought together protest and entertainment. Many of the tunes reinterpreted here are of African and Spanish heritage, although French Creole and Indian influences -- East Indians relocated here by the shortage of slaves after the 1833 abolition -- are also present, giving the listener the chance to enjoy an entirely unique piece of street art and history."

Artist:	MAYFIELD, CURTIS
Title:	Short Eyes
Label:	DAGORED (ITALY)
Format:	LP
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	RED 158LP

"This album is Mayfield's soundtrack to the 1977 Robert M.Young flick Short Eyes, based on the award-winning play by Miguel Pineiro. This project, released on Mayfield's Curtom label, again demonstrates his commitment to delivering a strong message from the African American and Latino communities. This powerful movie, despite its share of clich�s (the inmates' code of honor, the race struggle that continues in jail, the abhorrent conditions of prisoners, especially Blacks) turns race relations on their head: here it is the white pedophile who is oppressed and the killers and drug dealers that surround him find their own dignity restored by their higher sense of morality."
