Beat Records presents this reissue on CD of the original soundtrack by Nora Orlandi for the classic Western Johnny Yuma, directed in 1966 by Romolo Guerrieri. At the time of the film's release, RCA released only a 45-rpm single with the two mono tracks "Johnny Yuma" and "That Silent Man," sung by The Wilder Brothers (John Ireson and Wayn Parham). In 1968, another single was released in Japan (where the film was a huge success) on the Victor SS-1741 label, featuring the song performed by The Wilder Brothers and the instrumental version on the B-side. This CD is a reissue of the long out-of-print CD issued in 2009. In addition to the tracks mixed in stereo, this CD contains the entire soundtrack taken from the mono masters of the original sessions, for a total duration of 74:49. Nora Orlandi composed an epic and dramatic score, conducted by the well-known Robby Poitevin. The main theme, "Johnny Yuma' (a country ballad sung by The Wilder Brothers), is introduced in the opening credits and reprised in the movie. The Wilder Brothers also perform the heroic song "That Silent Man." Exceptional soloists on this beautiful soundtrack include 4+4 by Nora Orlandi and the magnificent harmonica of Franco De Gemini. Mastering and liner notes by Claudio Fuiano, graphic layout by Daniele De Gemini.
