Beat Records is pleased to reissue on CD the OST by Ennio Morricone for the drama film Metello, directed in 1970 by Mauro Bolognini, starring Massimo Ranieri, Ottavia Piccolo, Tina Aumont Manuela Andrei, Franco Balducci, Claudio Biava, Lucia Bosé, Sergio Ciulli, Pino Colizzi, Luigi Diberti, Adolfo Geri, Corrado Gaipa, Luigi Antonio Guerra , Gabriele Lavia, Renzo Montagnani, Piero Morgia, Mariano Rigillo, Steffen Zacharias, and Frank Wolff.

The OST was first reissued on CD in Japan in 1991 (SCC-1013) and again in 1994 (BVCP-1036). Maestro Morricone gave his approval in 2006 for the first expanded reissue on CD (GDM 2071) with the addition of four unreleased tracks and a total duration of 43:38, all derived from the stereo master of the original album and the mono masters of the original sessions. Those fourteen tracks, magnificently conducted by Bruno Nicolai, now return to the market with this brand new reissue by Beat Records.

A harp with organ introduces Metello's theme, a motif with classical flavor which is then developed by the orchestra and reprised with different instrumentations, perhaps mostly notably in the version for piano and large orchestra which closes the film and the album. The main theme is alternated with pieces that evoke the historical-political period, such as "Tema dello sciopero", the march for "L'arrivo del re", the march for ''La naia'', and the slightly magical and ancient atmosphere of the ''Pianino nella strada'' .
