Instead of revived dead, these zombies are the result of radiation poiso…
Amici Miei (Colonna Sonora Originale Del Film)
*2022 stock* This CD contains the soundtrack of one of the masterpieces of Italian cinema, "Amici miei", directed in 1975 by Mario Monicelli. The soundtrack was written by Carlo Rustichelli, one of the greatest composers of film music. It is built around the main theme, a waltz, and its variations. The jokes of the protagonsti are underlined by a theme that seems to recall Brecht, as well as the famous "Bella figlia dell'amore".
L’Ultimo Treno della Notte
"L'Ultimo Treno della Notte" (Last Stop on the Night Train) is a 1975 thriller film directed by Aldo Lado, one of the most violent movies ever produced in Italy in the '70s (and beyond) that actually shows, even in the crudest scenes, for same admission of the director, a harsh attack against the bourgeois society and its powerful rich people. Despite the limited budget, the friendship between Aldo Lado and composer Ennio Morricone made this collaboration possible; nonetheless, only a 45rpm 7" w…
Il Gatto
Reissue of Ennio Morricone's soundtrack to director Luigi Comencini's 1977 film with two previously unreleased bonus tracks added, alternate versions of 'Mariangela E La Seduzione' & 'Il Gatto'. 15 tracks total, with all delicately balanced between being refined classical arias and erotic themes. This is yet another extraordinary soundtrack by the genius master of Ennio Morricone. This is wonderful music that takes you back to the wonderful seventies.

Anche Se Volessi Lavorare, Che Faccio?
"Released in 1972 on the Cinevox record label, Morricone’s score is in a word classic. It contains every musical trademark that we associate with the Maestro, quirky and jaunty backgrounds, romantic and poignant melodies, infectious and haunting musical interludes and emotive and heartrending passages that just melt the listener. The CD re-issue was also on Cinevox, and the company released it in the November of 2003, it contains a little more music than the LP recording in fact there are four …
Non Ho Sonno (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
"Non ho sonno isn’t exactly a return to the glory days of Suspiria and Roller, but it’s very good, and is worthy of purchase before most of the 1980’s soundtracks. Though Goblin managed to hold on to the 1970’s sound even on most of their 1980’s work, this album sounds much more like the 1980’s than the 1970’s or 1990’s, especially the guitar. As far as opening themes go, “Non Ho Sonno” is good. That basically goes for the rest of the music too. It’s all very good, but not as unique and special …
Schock (Transfert-Suspence-Hypnos)
*2022 stock* Back in '76 or so, Mario Bava wanted in on some of Argento's azione in the film music department. For his movies, Dario had enlisted some homegrown twentysomethings fresh from sessions in England as an outfit alternately called Oliver and Cherry Five. The quartet, rechristened Goblin, had cranked up their amplifiers to score Dario's two very popular films, the bloody Profondo Rosso and the supernaturally-inclined Suspiria. Bava wanted the same kind of sonorous edge for his next fora…
La Via Della Droga - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
*2022 stock* When Cinevox began reissuing the album catalog of Goblin in the late '90s, they also issued some new albums featuring Goblin soundtracks that had never been given a proper release. One of the most interesting albums from this group was La Via Della Droga, the soundtrack to a 1977 Italian crime thriller that chronicled the adventures of an undercover police officer as he infiltrated a European drug ring. The score plays down the horror theatrics that dominated chilling scores like Su…
Metti, Una Sera A Cena
Finally, justice has been done and maestro Ennio Morricone has managed to bring home the coveted Oscar statuette. Multi-awarded and acclaimed by a vast public, the Roman composer had come close five times, but had never been on stage to receive the award for an extraordinary career.Among his unforgettable compositions was Metti una sera a cena with which he won his first Nastro d'Argento in 1970. The film, based on a play (1967) by the same director G. Patroni Griffi, tells the story of a rich b…
Nell'Anno Del Signore (Original Soundtrack)

In the first two feature films, the scores were written by Armando Trovajoli, while for the l…
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. For years, the original masters of the recording session were thought to be lost. It was only in 2007 that they were rediscovered in perfect condition. 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…
La Stanza del Vescovo
La stanza del vescovo (aka The bishop’s bedroom - La chambre de l’évèque) is a dramatic movie directed in 1977 by Dino Risi and starring Ugo Tognazzi, Ornella Muti and Patrick Dewaere. For this film Armando Trovajoli wrote one of his most intense soundtracks. The romantic, sad and dramatic music and the recurrent use of a moog keyboard perfectly reflect the loneliness of the main characters , all physically close but at the same time so distant from one another. M° Trovajoli arranged the classic…
Amo Non Amo (I Love You I Love You Not)
*2022 stock* This is an official release of the Goblin soundtrack to Amernia Balducci's film Amo Non Amo. The film, staring Jaqueline Bisset and Terrence Stamp, was released in the U.S.A. under the title Together with a soundtrack by Burt Bacharach. For the Italian prog group Goblin, the commission to rescore the Italian version presented a challenge that would produce some of their most unusual work. There was no spine-chilling horror in this human love story, so Goblin penned the title track, …
Murderock
*2022 stock* Murderock continues Keith Emerson's string of soundtrack albums he released after disbanding Emerson, Lake & Palmer in 1980. "Streets to Blame" and "Not So Innocent," which feature singer Doreen Chanter. It begins with pop songs and the remainder of the disc consists of instrumentals, from the jazzy, lighthearted "Coffee Time" to the heavily orchestrated "Candice," most of which are at the very least pleasant and all of which have moments of inspiration. Here are some of Emerson's b…
Bora Bora
* Expanded Edition with many extra tracks * Killer!!!! Bora Bora is a 1968 film directed by Ugo Liberatore who, under the pretext of telling about a marriage relationship crisis, depicts the eponymous Polynesian island as a place of perdition and absolute freedom, in contrast to the strict rules imposed by Western society. This movie is also referred as the 'debut' of the exotic/erotic film genre, which culminated a few years later with the famous adventures of Emanuelle Nera interpreted by Laur…
Codice d’amore orientale
**CD version** “Codice d’amore orientale” had been often labelled as one of the lowest points reached by the b-movies from the ’70s. Essentially, it is just a genuine attempt to exploit the success of the erotic genre, very popular at the time: the movie tells the story of two young lovers, running away from their families that were against their union. The two are given shelter by a minister of love, who introduces them to the secrets of Kamasutra.Definitely not an art-house film, and surely di…
