2014 release. Digitmovies releases for the first time on CD, Pippo Caruso's original soundtrack for the film Uccidete Johnny Ringo ("Kill Johnny Ringo"). Pippo Caruso (aka Giuseppe Caruso) was born in 1935 in Belpasso, Catania in Italy, and is without a doubt one of the most noted names in Italian television. He actively works with the presenter Pippo Baudo. For cinema he has written soundtracks for films such as Maladolescenza, Women Against Women ("Le Evase"), Porca Società, and L'Occhio Dietro La Parete. For Digitmovies' CD, they were able to use the mono master tapes from the original recording session which allowed them to record the entire OST, except for one song by actress Greta Polyn that was missing from the reel. On some of the tracks you can hear a slight hissing sound which was not possible to eliminate despite adequate restoration. Caruso composed a symphonic score that was inspired more by the epic Hollywood sound than the popular music of Italian Westerns. For the main score, the soloist Franco De Gemini and his harmonica are alternated with a romantic love theme and dramatic music. Directed in 1966 by Gianfranco Baldanello, the film starred Brett Halsey, Greta Polyn, William Burke, Lee Burton, Ugo Carboni, Franco Castellani, Attilio Dottesio, Angelo Dessy, Consalvo Dell'Arti, Barbara Loy, Antonio Menna, Ray Scott, Rod Smith, Fred Shentrens, Fausto Signoretti, Agostino De Simone, Guy Gallay, Frank Gulas, Gualtiero Isnenghi, James Harrison, Amedeo Trilli Arico, Nando Angelini, Mimo Billi, Renzo Cesana, Liana Del Balzo, Anna Filippini, Ciccio Barbi, Mara Berni, and Gina Mattarolo.
