2012 release. Digitmovies, with collaboration of Gruppo Sugar, issues Ennio Morricone's complete original soundtrack, in mono, for the 1963 western movie Duello Nel Texas ("Gunfight At The Red Sands"). Directed in 1963 by Ricardo Blasco and starring Richard Harrison, Giacomo Rossi Stuart, and Mikaela. The village of Carteville on the border to Mexico is in danger from a mysterious and dangerous gang of thugs. One night the band assaults the house of a Mexican family, including an orphan of American nationality adopted by Don Diego and known by all as "El Gringo". The gang kills the householder and steals the gold the family has at home. The man eventually discovers the true identity of the criminals. One against all, "El Gringo" succeeds with cunning and courage in liberating the town from the presence of evildoers forever. For this film Ennio Morricone has signed his first western score ever, just one year before the global success of Per Un Pugno Di Dollari (aka "A Fistful of Dollars") by Sergio Leone. Although still far from his musical style which is internationally known for this kind of genre, the then 35 years old Ennio Morricone composed a strong symphonic score featuring the main theme song "A Gringo Like Me" (both the performance of Peter Tevis and the alternate one of Dicky Jones appear here) which gets reprised with exciting instrumental versions, alternated with saloon music, highly dramatic orchestral passages full of tension, music for wild rides, romantic, and epic sequences. Previously only the song performed by the voice of Peter Tevis and a suite of just under five minutes were issued on a C.A.M. compilation. This project has been fully approved by Morricone who with his great friendship helped in the making of a release which is much awaited from all his fans around the world. 180 gram vinyl.

Digitmovies present the Guido and Maurizio De Angelis's original motion picture soundtrack for the movie La Tigre È Ancora Viva: Sandokan Alla Riscossa! ("The Tiger Is Still Alive: Sandokan To The Rescue"). At the time of release, a 45rpm single was issued (RCA BB 6135) featuring two tracks, for this LP Digitmovies have used the stereo master tapes found in the RCA vaults. After a slow and solemn strings introduction of the "Sandokan Theme", the new main theme is presented, for big orchestra and of epic flavor, called "Ritorno A Mompracem". This theme is reprised with several variations: with mandola and strings, slow and mystic, with flute, mandola, and bells, and in vocal version. The score is also enriched with very rhythmic action music, and of ethnic flavor. The Sandokan theme is reprised with an atonal way with reverberated harps. Although a digital restoration occurred some audio anomalies (pre-existing on the original sources) remain. Mompracem villagers are scared and left hungry by the ferocious Sultan Abdullah, a sovereign cowardly and cruel, serving the British. Jamilah, a young woman, returns to Mompracem to call the old "tigers" to battle, but is hunted by the sultan's guards and is about to be killed, but she was saved by the Greek adventurer Teotokris. The latter decides to help her, making a long journey to India in search of Sandokan, taking shelter there to convince him to resume his fight against the British.

Digitmovies present the complete edition of the original soundtrack for the Italian cult TV series Orzowei composed by the prolific brothers Guido and Maurizio De Angelis for the first time in full stereo. Based on the novel Orzowei written by Alberto Manzi and issued in 1955, the story was adapted into 13 episodes of an international TV hit series which was produced in 1976 by Italian and German companies. It was directed by the French filmmaker Yves Allégret and starred Peter Marshall as Isa Orzowei, the British star Stanley Baker, Doris Kunstmann, Vincenzo Crocitti, and Bonne Lubega. This TV program was broadcasted in Italy in early 1977 and presented again with version especially re-edited for cinema theaters called Orzowei - Il Figlio Della Savana ("Orzowei - Son of the Savannah"). Isa, a white child abandoned in the forest of South Africa, is found and raised like a son by an old great warrior and by an old woman, both of them belonging to the Swazi people, an ethnic grouping of the Bantu tribe. Only one single was issued: RCA BB 6054, a very big international record hit. Taken from the stereo master tapes which have been well preserved in the RCA archives. Concerning Orzowei besides the 45 rpm single versions "Orzowei" and "Le Notti Di Orzowei", there are also alternate takes of the famous theme song like a different mix, the instrumental version, an evocative version with an echoed solo flute, the very cool karaoke version, an alternate take of "Le Notti Di Orzowei" without flute (all the original material discovered on the master tapes). Digitmovies discovered on another master tape three extra alternate takes. An OST of the '70s Italian TV cult.

Digitmovies present the original motion picture soundtrack by Maurizio Abeni for the movie, directed by Sergio Stivaletti, Rabbia Furiosa, on CD. Fabio has just served eight months in prison for a crime he did not commit, in place of Claudio, a friend of his; former boxer, a delinquent of small caliber that aspires to become the boss of the Mandrione (peripheral roman district). Claudio manages various trafficking trades and also runs dog fights. Whenever his dogs are injured, he turns to his friend Fabio who, clandestinely in the back room of his dog wash, takes care of small surgical procedures and medications. The friendship between Fabio and Claudio is very ambiguous, almost sick. Claudio has a bipolar personality that sometimes leads him to act with extreme malice in comparison to Fabio that seems to suffer without reacting. All of this lasts a long time, until one day that Fabio, unable to bear it anymore, will decide to carry out his terrible revenge...

Digitmovies release for the first time a double-CD with Piero Piccioni's original soundtrack for the 1985 comedy film Sono Un Fenomeno Paranormale ("Babasciò", or "I'm an ESP"). Piero Piccioni composed one of his most brilliant soundtracks for this film. He uses sentimental and elegant themes to accompany the protagonist on his journey from Italy to India, including numerous pieces using sitar and tablas. On this soundtrack, Edda Dell'Orso with her crystal voice is the exceptional guest star we can hear on numerous tracks. Originally, General Music had released an LP containing sixteen tracks in stereo. For this double album (totaling over two hours) Digitmovies have included over an hour and a half of new material with film versions and alternate takes which we discovered in addition to the original master which had been assembled for the album. This album proves the artistic greatness of Piero Piccioni once again, not only for the huge amount of material recorded (most of which was not used in the film), but also the high quality of the scores, which are reprised in different versions and with different instruments. Edition of 300.

Digitmovies present a reissue of Romolo Grano's original soundtrack for Ho Incontrato Un'ombra, originally released in 1974. A rare LP from the world of 1970s Italian cult TV. Ho Incontrato Un'ombra ("I Have Met a Shadow) was broadcast by RAI Television in Italy in 1974. The success of this screenplay was also due to the soundtrack written by Romolo Grano. The main theme "A Blue Shadow" became a record and radio hit thanks to composer Berto Pisano's evocative orchestral arrangement which was released on the EP single (along with "Tema di Silvia") (1974). The leitmotif was also included on an LP under the same label (also containing other songs not related to the background music of this TV series). The true original soundtrack of Ho Incontrato Un'ombra only came out on a promotional album under RCA's label Pegaso, with Grano's music beautifully arranged and conducted by Berto Pisano. Fortunately, Digitmovies managed to recover the stereo master in excellent condition which had been assembled in the '70s for the limited-edition audio vinyl. It's one of the rarest recordings on the collector's market. The master tape includes virtually everything that had been recorded for the TV series and which was re-edited in different scenes. The sad and romantic main theme with a hint of mystery is introduced and is reprised in a nostalgic guitar piece and again with electronic harpsichord. This beautiful main theme is alternated with danceable lounge music and suspense, as well as with the sad and sensual "Tema Di Silvia" for sax and orchestra. The recording session featured two extraordinarily gifted soloists: Oscar Valdambrini on trumpet and Edda Dell'Orso with her incredibly beautiful voice, an orchestral instrument in all respects. 180 gram vinyl; Edition of 250.

Digitmovies present the first issue of Stelvio Cipriani's complete by original soundtrack for the 1977 film Poliziotto Sprint ("Convoy Busters"). Originally, C.A.M. had released a single with two tracks, "Speed Machine" and "Crazy Town". But thanks to the stereo master tapes from the recording session, Digitmovies had the opportunity to assemble a release with the entire fabulous original soundtrack. Stelvio Cipriani managed to describe the character of Agent Palma perfectly through music. Palma is a true "stuntman" in his fight against crime and Cipriani composed a cheerful score which also gives a sense of urban reality with its tangled jungle full of dangers. The rhythms and the typical sound of the Moog synthesizer of the late seventies create the right atmosphere, which is a pleasure for the listener who dives back in time and can imagine the daring exploits of the protagonist. Cipriani also manages to lighten up the serious battle between the good cop and the criminal with a sweet love theme introduced and then developed throughout the film. The city life with its chaotic traffic and hectic pace are emphasized by a long piece of large wind orchestra jazz and blues called "Crazy Town" (which was on the B side of the single) and is also found in its short version. This original soundtrack is a great addition to the archive devoted to the film music by legendary Stelvio Cipriani.

Digitmovies present the first CD issue of Stelvio Cipriani's complete original soundtrack for the 1984 film Rage Fuoco Incrociato ("A Man Called Rage"), aka Fuego Cruzado. In 1984 Cinevox Records released this orchestral/electronic score on LP with only twelve tracks. In addition to the stereo master tape assembled for the original album, Digitmovies discovered almost 13 minutes of previously unreleased material in mono that bringing the CD's total time over 45 minutes. For the composer, this soundtrack marks a very important moment in the lives of cinema and soundtracks fans: an unforgettable first encounter with maestro Cipriani which took place in the summer of 1984 (thanks to composer and friend Marco Werba) just as he was recording and mixing music for this film. Stelvio Cipriani composed a score where the orchestra performs an epic main theme with a holy atmosphere and frequent pop rhythms which accompany Rage's heroic endeavors through a place where fiendish traps and deadly dangers are always lurking. The author alternates solemn pieces with suspenseful pieces, and pieces of pure action typical of the '80s. One remarkable finding was the long version of "Esplorazione Della Base" ("Exploration Of The Base") with well over seven-and-a-half minutes two-and-a-half minutes on the LP take. This CD will be added to the discography of the legendary Stelvio Cipriani (which has expanded in recent years thanks to fantastic discoveries and rediscoveries in various archives), one of the most prolific composers of film music from the '60s to today.

Digitmovies present Piero Piccioni's complete original soundtrack in mono and in full stereo for the episodes "La Strega Bruciata Viva" ("The Witch Scorched Alive") by Luchino Visconti and "Una Sera Come Le Altre" ("A Night Like Any Other") by Vittorio De Sica for the 1967 movie Le Streghe (aka The Witches) produced by Dino de Laurentiis. The film, which was released on February 22, 1967, is divided into five episodes starring the fascinating Diva Silvana Mangano. The Mauro Bolognini and Franco Rossi episodes have virtually no music -- except very brief fragments of atonal strings (possibly library music) in the Rossi episode and just a reprise of the "main theme" written by Piero Piccioni for the Visconti episode at the end of the Bolognini episode. This CD focuses only on the music of Piero Piccioni for this film. The tapes were kept in the private archives of Piccioni and they have been found with the big help of Jason Piccioni, the son of the composer. Two ¼ reel tapes, one in stereo and one in mono, which have been preserved until today in very good conditions. For "The Witch Scorched Alive" Piero Piccioni wrote a refined dancefloor theme, a shake for piano, organ, drums, guitars and brass, which we might call "The Witches Shake", reprised with different instrumentations and which is the background dance of Gloria in the hotel lounge room. This dancefloor music is alternated with a romantic, rarefied, and haunting love theme that, without doubt, is one of the most beautiful love themes of the whole career of Piero Piccioni: a jazzy, slow, suspended, almost sacred theme for harp, vibraphone, guitar, celesta, flute, and bass. The score was brilliantly conducted by Bruno Nicolai and Piero Piccioni himself. Please note also that in this soundtrack and almost in all his soundtracks, Piccioni performs solo piano and organ. CD version includes two bonus tracks, for historical and artistic purposes: the very rare mono version of the shake theme as featured in the opening titles -- with some sound effect found in the mono master tape of the final film music/effects mix -- and a long stereo suite re-recorded by Piccioni.

Digitmovies is releasing for the first time on CD Stelvio Cipriani's original soundtrack for the 1976 crime drama Colt 38 Special Squad (original title Quelli Della Calibro 38), combined with the re-release of the original soundtrack from the TV series L'ispettore Anticrimine. After forty years, the OST from Colt 38 Special Squad has been dug out and released on CD. Apart from the two songs with music by Stelvio Cipriani and lyrics by Hal Shaper, (performed by Grace Jones on the original single from Cinevox), not one single note from the score had ever been released because the master tapes had been lost for a long time. Thanks to M° Cipriani had a copy of the stereo master in good condition in his archives. The music of Cipriani alternates rhythmic passages, which play as background music to the ruthless search scenes, with a recurring romantic melody where Franco De Gemini's harmonica chimes in. In addition to the six minutes of the two songs on the single, Digitmovies recovered about seventeen more precious minutes of background music. L'ispettore Anticrimine sees police commissioner Vanni of Turin trying to catch Marseilles, the crime lord who killed his wife. Intensifying violence caused by criminals convinces the chief commissioner to form a special team of four motorcycle agents armed with unlicensed Colt 38 revolvers and headed up by Vanni. In 1993, Cinevox Records released a CD with twenty-one selections from L'ispettore Anticrimine in stereo. Stelvio Cipriani wrote a main score with a similar style to the previous films in the series The Police ..., but this time he also reprised pieces from the exciting sea battle in Tentacles. Action themes alternate with a serene love motif, with a theme for the inspector's mother ("Mother's Theme"), and with suspenseful atmospheres of soft and rare beauty. In order to fit everything on one CD, three tracks -- two repetitions of the main score and the "Crime" piece, a piece that was specially replayed by Tony Esposito after the original recording session.

For the sequel to 1966's L'armata Brancaleone ("For Love and Gold") (CDDM 289CD, LPDM 008LP), Carlo Rustichelli (December 24, 1916, Carpi - 13 November 2004, Rome) resumes his famous "March of Brancaleone" and "Pirulè" ("the pilgrim theme"), this time entrusting Gianfranco Plenizio to conduct the orchestra. Maestro Rustichelli created a new score which is romantic and veiled with sadness for Felicilla, the witch (Stefania Sandrelli) who enters Brancaleone's heart. This time Brancaleone gets caught up in the Crusades and the score alternates dramatic with haunting passages that would fit perfectly in a horror film. This is a well-deserved musical recovery for the trio Monicelli, Rustichelli, Gassman, who created a masterpiece for Italian cinema. Vittorio Gassman won "Best Actor" at the San Sebastian Festival in 1971 for this film. Brancaleone Alle Crociate was released in 1970. CD version includes the stereo master tapes of the original recording session. Digitmovies have includes the audio editing on the first twenty tracks which the label prepared with Maestro Rustichelli for the CD's first release in 1995, followed by film versions, alternate takes, and the singles released in 1970 on RCA Records. CD version comes in an edition of 300.

This is a well-deserved musical recovery for the trio Monicelli, Rustichelli, Gassman, who created a masterpiece for Italian cinema. Vittorio Gassman won "Best Actor" at the San Sebastian Festival in 1971 for this film. Brancaleone Alle Crociate was released in 1970. CD includes the stereo master tapes of the original recording session. Digitmovies have includes the audio editing on the first twenty tracks which the label prepared with Maestro Rustichelli for the CD's first release in 1995, followed by film versions, alternate takes, and the singles released in 1970 on RCA Records.

Carlo Rustichelli (Carpi, December 24, 1916 - Rome, November 13, 2004) was the author of hundreds of film soundtracks and will go down in history for his famous friendship with director Pietro Germi and for the "Brancaleone March", a true iconic hymn like the James Bond theme by Monty Norman or "The Raiders March" by John Williams from Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981). This unforgettable choir motif is introduced by "Branca Branca Branca Leon Leon Leon" and a whistle and is the heart of the background music, which the author reprises with orchestral versions that are sometimes comical and sometimes dramatic -- all under the direction of Bruno Nicolai. Two of the other supporting scores are "Pirulè" the psalm theme of the pilgrims, and "Cuccuruccù" sung by a female voice accompanied by the mandola. L'armata Brancaleone was released in 1966. It won three Silver Ribbons and was presented in competition at the 19th Cannes Film Festival. CD version includes the mono master tapes from the original recording session; Digitmovies have included the audio editing on the first fifteen tracks, which the label prepared with Maestro Rustichelli for the CD's first release in 1995, followed by film versions, alternate takes, and the singles released in 1966 on the single Parade PRC 5002. The CD ends with the rare take of the march introduced by the voice of Vittorio Gassman. CD version comes in an edition of 300.

The journey into the spaghetti westerns world continues -- the complete OST by Guido and Maurizio De Angelis for Continuavano A Chiamarlo Trinità ("Trinity Is Still My Name") directed by E.B. Clucher (Enzo Barboni) in 1971. Trinity (Terence Hill) and Child (Bud Spencer), brothers and outlaw vagabonds with a tender heart, are mistaken for federal agents by Parker (Emilio Delle Piane), a violent arms dealer. Taking advantage of the misunderstanding, the two let him willingly "buy" them with the dollars of the shady character, and then try an even bigger shot. This soundtrack was the first by Guido and Maurizio De Angelis for a film with Terence Hill and Bud Spencer, with the editing created for the CD presents nearly faithfully the film sequence, in the second part the not synchronized versions were included in the movie versions. The De Angelis brothers composed a main theme "Trinity Stand Tall", which anticipates the style that will always be used in the next film with the Dynamic Duo, with guitars and wind instruments and fresh Western taste, forming a melodic theme to emphasize the infatuation of Trinity for the beautiful daughter of the poor immigrant (Remember). Another recurring theme in the western musicality but with a touch of beat. In describing instead the convent and therefore the sacredness of the place, the De Angelis composed a theme for organ and choir in various tracks to remind the listener of a "purely western setting represented by harmonicas, guitars" and the inevitable saloon piano. Included CD features the stereo master tapes of the original session, with every recorded note of this beautiful OST. Digitmovies offer the track list already released in the 1972 album, released by RCA, adding two bonus tracks the instrumental version of Trinity stand tall. Edition of 300.
