Il Giocattolo
In 1979, Cinevox released an LP containing the soundtrack of "Il giocattolo" , composed by Ennio Morricone for Giuliano Montaldo's film of the same name.

This is the reason why Cinevox decided to make this new Cd edition. The original master allowed to correct some small imperfections contained in the LP. As a bonus track, five previously unrelea…

There was no spine-chilling horror in this human love story, so Goblin penned the title track, …
Squadra Antigangsters (The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
*2022 stock* The Squadra Antigangsters soundtrack is one of the most unusual and atypical entries in the Goblin canon. Even the most dedicated fans of the group could be excused for not recognizing this album as a Goblin outing: the brash theatrics and heaviness that dominated the likes of Suspiria and Roller are totally absent, replaced by a slick, often jazzy sound that is overtly disco-influenced. The most disco-oriented of the cuts are "The Whip" and "The Sound of Money," both being vocal nu…

Libra - Un Film Du Groupe Pattern
When the bunch of filmmakers known as The Pattern Group (Roland Moreau, Georges Perdriaud and Jean Talansier) did Libra, their second movie, in 1973 they thought it would be a good idea to use bits from Pink Floyd's Ummagumma and Atom Heart Mother to create its soundtrack. The movie, a 90-minute film with no dialogue, depicts the story of four youngsters living in communion with nature, an idyllic life that is drastically changed when a U.S. satellite crashes in the area and attracts the attenti…

Orfeo 9
*Yellow vinyl * The son of the popular tenor Tito Schipa, the young Tito Jr. started his career in 1967 with a show based on Bob Dylan's songs, arranged like a sort of rock opera. Fascinated by this formula he repeated it many times in his later works. His recording debut came in 1972 for Fonit Cetra, with the single "Sono passati i giorni", but his first proper work was the ambitious opera "Orfeo 9", that he had concentrated on since 1969, and that was first represented in theatre in Rome in 19…
