Unkonwn by most listeners, it’s a release that deserves more attention, since it shows a wide range of music styles (Jazz, funk, rock, electronic) and once again Goblin’s ability in writing film scores.
Roller
*2025 reissue* Roller was the second record for Goblin, originally released in 1976, just after the successful score of Profondo Rosso, and is one of the very few Goblin records that was not intended to be a soundtrack.

The record also features new members Agostino Marangolo (from Flea) and Massimo Guarini.An undisputed masterpiece…

Metti Una Sera A Cena
Yellow vinyl edition. Quite possibly the greatest Morricone score ever – and one whose dreamy bossa-inflected title theme has been covered a number of times over the years (most recently by the group Balanco!) From the first minutes of the album, you'll instantly recognize the main theme – as it's swells of voices and lilting keyboards are among one of Morricone's best signatures from the time. Don't worry about getting bored because you may already know it, though – as the album has loads of ot…

Biglietto Per L'Inferno
2026 Stock. Legendary 1974 eponymous album by Biglietto per l’Inferno! Trident Records is one of the more tragic labels in the RPI story: a small catalogue of extraordinary records, a fragile financial structure, and a collapse that swallowed at least one completed masterpiece whole. The debut by Biglietto per l'Inferno came out in 1974, the same year Trident began to unravel. A second album was already recorded, with Eugenio Finardi producing, ready to press, and it vanished with the label. It …
