Walter “Junie” Morrison released his third solo LP, Suzie Super Groupie, in 1976. A slick, smooth and soulful record, it’s a genre-melting tour de force with rich elements of proto-boogie, funk and jazz. In short, this is yet another essential album reissue from Be With.

Frank Maston’s Tulips is a sample-ready film score to the best 70s movie never made. Originally a super-limited self-release on his Phonoscope label in late 2017, Tulips has already become incredibly sought-after. Be With were introduced to Maston by mutual friends Aquarium Drunkard and it didn’t take long before we decided this modern classic deserved a reissue. Inspired by the deep-grooving soundtracks of Italian cinema - think Morricone, Umiliani and Alessandroni - Maston conceived the entire…

Maestro Piero Umiliani returns in the alter ego guise of M. Zalla for the 1974 compositional library piece Mondo Inquieto (‘Restless World’) via his far reaching, experimentalist imprint Sound Work Shop. Ambient tensions are represented via a dramatic cross fertilisation of orchestral strings, layered synths and primeval percussion with the Maestro on moody, reflective compositional duties. Stand out cut Strategia (‘Strategy’) harnesses the dopest Wu Tang Beats alongside swathes of high end …

With their charming look of exploitation LPs, Sexedelic's Sexedelic and it's 'brother' album The Vampires' Sound Incorporation's Psychedelic Dance Party (also reissued on Wah Wah as LPS185) hide the joint works of German composers Manfred Hübler and Siegfried Schwab that were used on three classic 1970 b-movies directed by Spanish film maker Jess Franco: Vampyros Lesbos, The Devil Came From Akasava, She Killed In Ecstasy.

* 2021 Stock * Fabrice, 17 years old, is a minet, or to say it better, a mod from one of the posh neighbourhoods, the 16th district in Paris and such “golden ghettoes” as Auteuil, Neuilly and Passy. Fab’ likes to have his “ronron at the Dugstore”, as Dutronc sang it (an untranslatable wordplay on ronron, “cat food”, and a minet – “a kitten” – purring). Fabrice attends Henri IV prestigious high-school; his father, a businessman who made a fortune selling plastic flowers, and his mother, a former …

* 2021 Stock * There were no deluxe studios for the musicians who recorded the devastating tracks contained in this collection. Nothing so grand. Most of these tracks were recorded live, with traditional instruments finding a place alongside any keyboards or guitars that could be found. And yet, it was these experiments of Khmer rock musicians which transformed the nightlife of the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh—and which many years later have seduced countless listeners around the world with the…

**2021 Stock** A record that sounds like a summertime sunset, if ever there was one. Lilting melodies, infused with an undercurrent of bossa nova and the drowsy, faded memory of sun-drenched islands. All of this melodic loveliness is made ever-so-groovy in an Afro-Cuban sort of way thanks to a mighty contribution from world famous percussionist Jorge Trasante, Totem drummer Roberto Galletti, and Limonada drummer José Luis Sosa. Pippo Spera came into the orbit of Uruguayan iconoclast Eduardo Mate…

Winner of the Goldener Bär at the 1963 Berlin Film Festival, Il Diavolo is the third feature film by director Gian Luigi Polidoro, an Italian film irregular who has signed only a handful of films poised between comedy and eroticism between the '60s and '80s. Written by Rodolfo Sonego and interpreted by an Alberto Sordi in a state of grace, Il Diavolo takes up a theme already addressed by Polidoro and Sonego in Le Svedesi of 1960, that is the Italic myth of the Swedish woman and trips to Scandina…

WHP preset a reissue of Piero Piccioni's original score for Il Boom, originally released on CAM in 1963. Written by Cesare Zavattini, directed by Vittorio De Sica, and interpreted by Alberto Sordi, Il Boom can be easily considered as one of the most peculiar film comedies in the Italian post-war era. Premiered in the USA in 2017, more than 50 years after its release in 1963, the film has been described as something between Buster Keaton, David Lynch, and Billy Wilder. Some sort of very current d…

** In process of stocking ** Written and directed by Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala in 2014, Goodnight Mommy (original title: Ich seh Ich seh) received outstandingly wide and positive international reviews.

Erik K Skodvin's first solo film score evokes otherwordly dreamscapes that capture the atmosphere of the film Anbessa (2019), shot in Ethiopia by director Mo Scarpelli. As a "creative" documentary the film follows Asalif, a 10 year old imaginative boy caught between the ancient and the new, navigating modernization on his own terms. Asalif tries to make sense of things while living in a shed on the outskirts of Addis Ababa with his mom. A place where capitalism and “progress” is closing in on al…

Terrific unpublished music of the 70's composed by:  Killer keyboards, moogy/dark moments, and lots of other sweet electric touches – all served up in this rare album of sound library grooves from the legendary Cometa label, by the trio of Sandro Brugnolini, Alessandro Alessandroni and Teimar who worked for the legendary Italian studio outfit!

Egisto Macchi composed an excellent score that gives to the scenes the pathos, which is lacking most of the times in the interpretation. With the help of this cool music, the breathtaking succession of scenes and the compelling story make the viewers to forget they are just watching a fiction, and not a true story. Bandidos is the story of a great revenge and action-packed from the very start.

Thriller tracks contained in this CD (originally released as LP by the legendary Sermi label) were composed expressly for a TV program of RAI in 1968 by Gino Marinuzzi Jr. who has enjoyed a half-century as one of Italy's top movie composers and one of the great innovators in electronic and experimental music.

** 2021 Survival Research Reissue ** In the early 1970s, the journalist and composer Walter Bachauer played with experimental fusion group Between, and after founding the Meta Music Festival, began working for RIAS Berlin. 1981’s Luna Africana was the first electronic album he issued as Clara Mondshine; produced by early Tangerine Dreamer, Klaus Schulze, it’s delightfully lo-fi analogue with a very Berlin feel, the ‘motorik’ style most evident on tracks like ‘Landung Bei Vollmond (Landing On The…

Pino Donaggio is one of the great Italian composers often forgotten or obscured by more high-sounding names. Yet, along with names such as Umiliani, Piccioni, Rota, Rustichelli, he deserves a place of honor alongside the Master that the whole world envies us: Ennio Morricone. A singer-songwriter of a notable fame in the ‘60s, he becames a soundtracks composer by pure chance when, at the beginning of the ’70s, while walking in front of the Venice station one morning he was noticed by a pr…

**2020 repress. Red vinyl + poster** Year 1964. Almost out of nowhere, the little-known and regarded director Sergio Leone transposes into a western key a film by Akira Kurosawa, and by putting together all the right pieces, adding a bit of intuition, lays down new rules for the 'spaghetti western' genre, giving way to an endless series of imitations."A Fistful of Dollars" would not have the same impact without the inimitable music written by Ennio Morricone, who had curiously been an old elemen…

2018 small repress. “Patrick” is an Australian thriller/horror movie made in 1978; at the beginning of the following year, Goblin were asked by the Italian distributor of the film, De Laurentis, to write a new soundtrack – originally composed by an Australian musician called… Brian May! – for the Italian movie market.

Special price. "A pugni Nudi" (With bare fists) - presented with a more than explicit subtitle "For a sad experience in a juvenile detention center" - is a 1974 film directed by Marcello Zeani; it can be associated to the Italian police genre, but it stands on its own due to its being set in the world of boxing. It's a drama movie too, with a non-optimistic nor hopeful ending at all, accompanied by the music of Franco Bixio, with a distinctive jazz-rock imprint, a strong presence of symphonic ar…
