*2022 stock* This CD encloses every musical note recorded in 1968. Just a curiosity: foreign versions of the movie are circulating with alternative music not penned by Ennio Morricone, extracted possibly from pre-existing libraries. Therefore our CD contains only the original music composed by Morricone, conducted perfectly by Bruno Nicolai. Ennio Morricone wrote a monothematic score including several orchestral variations of the main theme, a brilliant and very romantic motif with Lounge flavou…

When Harry Belfonte’s Calypso became the first LP to sell over a million copies, it stimulated an unprecedented calypso craze Stateside, with myriad musical and cultural repercussions.

New York-based Arlene Farber, who later had a bit part in The French Connection, was renamed Arlene Tiger by future husband, Jerry Gross, for the lurid Female Animal, one of the exploitation films he directed and distributed in the late 60s and early 70s (here under the alias Juan Carlo Grinella).

Frank Maston’s Tulips is a sample-ready film score to the best 70s movie never made.

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.

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.

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…
