Some interesting trivia:

Tommy Mattola plays the guitar lick on COnnie Francis' "Who's Sorry
Now".....so I guess he goes back a long way.

Another source is the lovely Walmartish Target chain
(refered to by some Denver locals as "Target
[pronounced, Tar-jee] Boutique) is selling them.
Picked one up that was festooned with little martini
glasses and spitted cocktail olives. Dirt cheap; no
compunction. Odd place, though - they have a little
postal thing, a food court and an ATM. Lacking only a
bar to effect a tacky, insular world.

Don't worry, Nat--they're uncool.  It's a year-and-a-half-old response

I don't know anything about beatnik exploitation material so this might be
"old hat" (should that be "beret"?) for you beatnik collectors but the only
piece of beatnik cheese is by Spike Jones and I have it on this
quasi-stereo demonstration LP.
I can't find the record at this moment.  (Or I just don't want to do the
necessary excavation.) But I've seen it around.  It's got a picture of an
unusually happy woman wearing headphones.
Anyway the piece starts off with an interview with a mad scientist and then
he introduces his creation which is a two-headed beatnik.  And then the
very dumb-sounding beatniks sing a tune, one word at a time, bouncing back
and forth between the two speakers.
If somebody doesn't immediately respond with the name of that tune and
where you can find it, I'll "dig" out that record.

And while I'm on the subject of Spike Jones, don't you just love "Pimples
and Braces"?  It's kind of amazing that Spike Jones could do a tune that
would remind me so much of the Hombres' "Let it all hang out".

The LostAndFoundSound Project folks put together a nice portrait of and

Tony Schwartz
A profile of Tony Schwartz, an innovative and inspired sound gatherer,
recording the sounds of America since 1945. A man who will venture no
further than his postal zone, Mr. Schwartz has made more than 30,000 home
recordings in the streets, delis, cabs, playgrounds and stoops of his New
York neighborhood.

This week on Lost & Found Sound, a profile of Tony Schwartz, an innovative
and inspired sound gatherer, recording the sounds of America since 1945.

 TONY SCHWARTZ:
"New York 19" was the non-commercial musical life of my postal zone. And the
postal zone was New York 19 at that time. It's 10019 now. That was the area
I could travel in. I'm not able to travel far. I have agoraphobia and in
walking I could just go around my postal zone in the midst of Manhattan.

I made the first portable recorder. I brought the VU meter from inside the
case to the top so I could look down at it and see how loud things were and
I put a strap on it so I could hang it over my shoulder, that was in 1945. I
could go record children in the park doing jump rope rhymes. And I recorded
the street festivals. I made fourteen records for Folkways records you can
see them up there. The children's games of the streets -- I called it "1-2-3
and a Zing-Zing-Zing." "I won't go to Macys any more more more. There's a
big fat policeman at the door door door..." I was interested in the sound
around us.

    Very disappointing. Sounds like intermission music: gentle,
friendly, cautious, sleepy and restrained (not really sophisticated
though)... instead of dangerous and action-packed. It's rather boring and
uninteresting, (even for cocktail music standards), not just over-relaxed.
Sounds like Bert Kaempfert conducting while sleepwalking. From track 10
onwards, it gets a bit better, at one point it even swings. There's almost
no jazz influence here, in big contrast with  Peter Thomas' music. Speaking
of Mr. Thomas: "Besonders in der Nacht" could have been written by him: a
lunatic laughs and screams, and several zounds turn it into a mad, demented
piece of music. Several tracks feel outdated, with an antique Glenn Miller
"swing" sound. Not really recommended. my rating: 2/5

  ----------------------------------------------------
  "TIKI SAMPLER" COLLECTION FEATURES
 HIGHLIGHTS FROM LATEST ULTRA-LOUNGE ALBUMS

For fans of nostalgia, of vocal pop, of the weird and the exotica of the
lounge scene and the underground swing culture, of artists such as Big Bad
Voodoo Daddy, The Brian Setzer Orchestra, and Cherry Poppin' Daddies, the
Grammy Award-winning Ultra-Lounge Series is back with another round of
intoxicating sounds.  From the million-selling
album series that propelled lounge higher than a chimp-driven space pod
comes the the Tiki Sampler (Capitol Records), released May 4, 1999,
distributed by EMI Music Distribution. Specially packaged in an exotic
Polynesian bamboo motif, Tiki Sampler is the new counterpart to
Ultra-Lounge's wildly popular Leopard Skin Sampler, released three years ago
and winner of a Grammy Award.  It's also the 23rd title added to this
ever-widening CD collection since its launch in 1996. In the blender for
over two years, the Tiki Sampler features 23 full-length selections--17 from
Volumes 13-18 of the Ultra-Lounge Series (TV Town, Bossa Novaville, Wild,
Cool & Swingin' Too, Mondo Hollywood, Bongoland and Bottoms Up!) and the
"Ultra-Lounge Presents" releases On The Rocks Part I & II, The Romantic
Moods Of Jackie Gleason, The Exotic Sounds Of Martin Denny,The Exotic Moods
Of Les Baxter and Baxter's Best, plus six bonus tracks previously unreleased
under the Ultra-Lounge banner. (There are also two hidden tracks. Shhhhh!)
From musical greats such as singers Peggy Lee, Lena Horne, Nancy Wilson and
Mel Torme, to legendary bandleaders/arrangers Nelson Riddle and Billy May;
from the well-known Louis Prima to the obscure Wanda de Sah; from exotica
icons Les Baxter and Martin Denny to comedian Jackie Gleason; from TV theme
songs to lounge versions of '60s rock songs, the Tiki Sampler is the
ultimate musical lava lamp.

Song Title/Artist

1.  The Munsters Theme - Jack Marshall
2.  My Three Sons - Nelson Riddle
3.  So Danco Samba - Wanda de Sah

While we're on the subject, there's a new Bear Family release called
"Twist in Germany" for all you Germanophiles out there.  Cover art
looks to be top notch and Bear family is among the best reissue labels
in existance when it comes to thorough notes.   I've heard
some of the cuts on an old Schlagerparade record I have and they're
among my favourites. Granted it's an acquired taste... but try it...
you may be pleasantly surprised!

Onderwerp: Spaghetti Western soundtracks -- warning: long post




Review them All and Come Back Alone:
The Moon Dawg Guide to Spaghetti Western Soundtrack CDs

key:
***** =3D brilliant, essential even for non-collectors of the genre
**** =3D highly recommended
*** =3D good, well worth having
** =3D fair, worth having for collectors
* =3D yawn, only if you have money to burn
(#) =3D # of instrumental tracks from the film included, typically 2-4

long
v =3D vocal with lyrics

Note:  Full spaghetti soundtrack albums typically contain some number
of non-melodic =93suspense=94 tracks interspersed with multiple repetitio=
ns
of the main theme.  Some have a few =93saloon music=94 tracks.  If you ha=
ve
no patience for such music, stay away from the
full soundtrack albums and stick with the compilations. Coming from a
grounding in surf music, I have a strong preference for hummable
melodies, and I=92ve rated the soundtracks accordingly.

ENNIO MORRICONE
The originator and master of the spaghetti western.  In contrast to the
grand, herioc scores that composers like Jerry Goldsmith, Elmer
Bernstein, and Dmitri Tiomkin provided for grand, heroic Hollywood
westerns, Morricone provided scores to match the bleak, grotesque, and
often over-the-top westerns of Italian directors like Leone, Corbucci,
Tessari, and Sollima.  His innovative arrangements characteristically
featured electric guitar (an instrument Morricone reportedly could play
himself, and whose specific tones in
each arrangement he carefully chose), acoustic guitar, harmonica, solo
trumpet (sometimes recalling Nino Rota=92s scores for Fellini, sometimes
mariachi music), oboe or ocarina, and of course the incredible
whistling of Alessandro Alessandroni.

The Legendary Italian Westerns (RCA 9974-2-R) *****
[31 tracks, 73:31]
Gunfight at Red Sands (v); Guns Don=92t Argue (2+v); A Fistful of Dollars
(7); A Gun for Ringo [aka A Pistol for Ringo] (4); For a Few Dollars
More (8); Ringo Rides Again [aka The Return of Ringo, aka Pistolero]
(1); 7 Guns for the MacGregors (2); Death Rides a Horse (1); Once Upon
a Time in the West (4)
- -- Essential.  Best place to get the genre-defining scores to =93Fistful=94
(includes everything on the original soundtrack LP except the
reprise-it-all suite on side B) and =93Few Dollars More,=94 both of which
are strong from start to finish.  Plus you get the gorgeous title track
to the pre-Leone western =93Guns Don=92t Argue=94 (later covered by late,
great spaghetti-surf band Death Valley), and a sample of  =93Once Upon a
Time in the West.=94 Widely available at $10 or less, a real bargain.
Informative liner notes are included.

Western Quintet (DRG 32907) ***
[2 CDs, 54 tracks, 156:41 --hey, how does DRG fit
more than 74 minutes on each disc?]
Il Mio Nome e=92 Nessuno [My Name is Nobody] (10); Occhio all Penna [A
Fist Goes West] (15); Giu=92 la Testa [A Fistful of Dynamite/ Duck you
Sucker] (11); Tepepa [Blood and Guns] (10); Vamos a Matar, Companeros
[Companeros!] (8)
- -- The first three films are comedic, the last two set in Mexico, and
the scores reflect this. They=92re not as bleak/grotesque/compelling as
the famous scores to the Eastwood-Leone trilogy, and to me not nearly
as memorable, with the exception of a couple of tracks from My Name is
Nobody.  As with all DRG releases, and unlike the Beat releases listed
below, there are informative liner notes.

Death Rides a Horse / A Pistol for Ringo / The Return of Ringo (RCA
Italy OST 107)***
[26 tracks,  56:01]
Death Rides a Horse (7+v); A Pistol for Ringo [aka A Gun for Ringo]
(9+v); The Return of Ringo [aka Ringo Rides Again, aka Pistolero] (7+v)
- -- Death Rides a Horse is a memorable and dramatic flute-dominated
score (the movie is great, too).  Pistol for Ringo is okay; I can=92t say
much for the third one.

Once Upon a Time in the West ***
[13 tracks, 38:23]
- --I have the LP; I know there=92s a CD version available, but I don=92t
have release data.  I personally don=92t care much for the
saccharine-strings title track, but there=92s some great gnarly fuzz
guitar and harmonica on the incidental tracks.

Il Buono, Il Brutto, Il Cattivo [The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly ]/ La
Resa dei Conti [The Big Gundown] (Vivimusica VCDS 70060) ****
[24 tracks, 58:27]
Il Buono, Il Brutto, Il Cattivo (10+v); La Resa dei Conti (12+v)
- --The title theme of the first score is, of course, definitive and
indispensible.  Yes, even if you got tired of the 30 seconds of it
behind that Microsoft commercial about the schoolkids measuring saguaro
cactuses (ironically, the movie was filmed in Spain, where unless I'm
wrong there are no saguaros).  The rest of the score is okay, but not
up to Fistful or Few
Dollars More.  La Resa dei Conti has gnarly guitar work on a few
tracks.

Il Mercenario [A Professional Gun]/ Faccia a Faccia [Face to Face]
(Vivimusica VCDS 7018) ***
[31 tracks, 60:54]
Il Mercenario (15); Faccia a Faccia (16)
- --The first score has the most incredibly virtuosic whistling of
chromatic scales; the second
has a lot of nonmelodic filler =93suspense=94 tracks.

Navajo Joe (Legend CD 21) ** [16 tracks]
- --Title track is memorable; much of the rest is restatements or
=93suspense=94 filler.

DOMINIC FRONTIERE: Hang =91em High / ENNIO MORRICONE: Guns for San
Sebastian (Sony AK 47705) **
[24 tracks, 66:12]
Hang =91em High (10); Kelly=92s Heroes (Schifrin)(1); Guns (13)
- --Quick, which other Morricone theme does the overture to Guns sound so
much like?  I do believe it=92s the secondary theme (=93Mucchio Selvaggio=
=94)
to My Name is Nobody.  Hang =91em High sounds better here, as done by
electric guitar and harmonica than in the Booker
T & the MGs organ-led cover version.  The pairing isn=92t really so odd,
even though the movie wasn=92t produced in Europe, so isn=92t *technicall=
y*
a spaghetti western, because Frontiere=92s work was clearly
Morricone-inspired.

BRUNO NICOLAI
After Morricone, Nicolai was the most Morricone-like and my favorite of
the maestri degli spaghetti.  He started out as Morricone=92s conductor,
so the resemblance isn=92t surprising.

Buon Funerale Amigos ... paga Sartana / Gli Fumavano le Colt ... Lo
Chimavano Camposanto (Beat CDCR 39) ***** [21 tracks, 50:25]
Buon Funerale Amigos ... paga Sartana (aka Have a Good Funeral, My
Friend) (11); Gli Fumavano le Colt ... Lo Chimavano Camposanto (10)
- -- All killer, no filler!  These are two of the few scores that bear
repeated listening from start to finish.  =93Buon Funerale Amigos=94 (fro=
m
1970) is my single favorite spaghetti western soundtrack, Morricone
notwithstanding.  Great melodic theme (which has been
rearranged inventively for guitars and covered by Rick Mills=92 great
spaghetti-western band The Hellbenders), great moody variations.  =93Gli
Fumavano le Colt=94 is also very cool.  Two tracks from each score appear
on the compilation =93My Delicious Spaghetti Western=94 (see below), but
there=92s much more to hear.

Land Raiders (Prometheus 128) *** (Prometheus PCD 128) [14 tracks,
42:38]
- -- Made a year earlier, this score strongly anticipates the melody and
arrangements of =93Buon Funerale Amigos=94. (Or, you could say that BFA
almost recapitulates Land Raiders.) Rightly considered one of the great
spaghetti soundtracks, and essential for the completist, but if you
have BFA, you can pass on it.  (Of course, you=92re
unlikely to run across it unless you *are* a completist looking for
it.)

Il Mio Nome e' Shangai Joe / I Giorni della Violenza ** (EMI/ Point
CDCR 123)
[15 tracks, 72:59]
Shagai Joe (14), I Giorni (37:45 suite)
- -- Made in 1973, =93Shangai Joe=94 shamelessly recycles the main theme fr=
om
BFA, but the far-eastern-sounding incidental music adds new melodies
and interesting variations. =93Giorni=94 is a forgettable Hollywoodish
score.

Un Uomo Chiamato Apocalisse Joe / Lo Chiamavano Tresette **** (Beat
CDCR 45)
[31 tracks, 76:57]
Apocalisse Joe (17); Tresette (14)
- -- The stars are almost entirely for the first score, which is melodic,
compelling, listenable all the way through, and -- best of all -- heavy
on the fuzz guitar.  The 17 tracks move back and forth nicely between
varied statements of a moody theme (featuring fuzz guitar, harpsichord,
some kind of flute or ocarina, and oboe) and a galloping theme (guitar,
brass, and strings).  The second is a lighthearted orchestral score
with bluegrass (banjo and fiddle) and honky-tonk passages.

100,000 Dollari per Ringo (Pan CDS 2501) **
[16 tracks, 41:20]
- --A couple of guitar-led pieces are good, but the rest is more
orchestral and Hollywoodish than Nicolai=92s better scores.

FRANCESCO DE MASI
The most prolific spaghetti maestro after Morricone, De Masi had one
foot in the camp of pre-spaghetti (Hollywood) westerns and one foot in
the Morricone camp.

Western Soundtracks (Beat CDCR 22) ***
[28 tracks, 69:42]
Vado ... L'ammazzo e Torno (8+v); Sartana non Perdona (5+2v); Ammazzali
Tutti e Torna Solo (7+2v); Ben & Charlie (3)
- -- The best all-around De Masi collection.  The most melodic tracks are
also on the compilation =93My Delicious Spaghetti Western,=94 but the
remainder is also listenable.

L'Uomo Della Valle Maledetta / La Sfida dei MacKenna / ...E Venne il
Tempo di Uccidere (Beat CDCR 47) ***
[33 tracks, 70:42]
L'Uomo Della Valle Maledetta (15); La Sfida dei MacKenna (10); ...E
Venne il Tempo di Uccidere (8)
- -- The first score is ho-hum in a pre-spaghetti style; the second is
one of De Masi=92s best, very much in the Morricone vein; the third is
pretty good.

Il Segno del Coyote / C'e Sartana ... Vendi la Pistola e Comprati la
Bara (Beat CDCR 40) **
[21 tracks, 49:21]
Il Segno (13); C=92e Sartana [aka Fistful of Lead] (7); bonus jingle
track
- -- Il Segno was a Zorro-clone movie, and the score is forgettable.  C'e
Sartana is a great movie, but after the cool main theme (comped on
MDSW), there's not much added by the rest.

Il Ranch degli Spietati / Una Bara per lo Sceriffo (Beat CDCR 44) **
[25 tracks, 47:10]
Una Bara per lo Sceriffo (7+v); Il Ranch degli Spietati [aka Oklahoma
John] (16+v)
- --Un Bara varies between (a) melancholy harmonica over acoustic
strumming, and (b) grand brass and strings over reverbed guitar and
snare drum providing hoofbeat rhythms. Il Ranch continues the same
formula.

Lone Wolf McQuade (Beat CDCR 26) ** (24 tracks, 58:00)
- --Okay, the movie (set in the present, made for US television) isn=92t
technically a spaghetti western, but the soundtrack is in that style
(with Alessandroni=92s whistling and de Gemini=92s harmonica), =93updated=
=94
with synthesized keyboards.  Good main title, but inconsistently
interesting after that.

7 Dollari sul Rosso / Quella Sporca Storia nel West (CAM CSE 800-124)
***
[33 tracks, 71:15]
7 Dollari (13+v); Storia (18+v)
- --Not only lotsa minutes on the CD, but two very hummable scores.

DE MASI: Ringo il Caviliere Solitario / GIAN PIERO REVERBERI: Una Colt
in Pugno al Diavolo / BRUNO NICOLAI: L=92Ultimo Mercenario (Beat CDCR 32)
**
[19 tracks, 57:49]
Ringo il Caviliere Solitario (7); Una Colt in Pugno al Diavolo (4);
L=92Ultimo Mercenario (8)
- -- Odd combination.  De Masi=92s score is very good.  The few tracks from
Reverberi=92s (what a great name!) are even better.  But Nicolai=92s
doesn=92t belong here, as it goes to a WWII movie, so you don=92t get all
that much spaghetti per dollar spent.  I don=92t know why
Beat didn=92t instead include De Masi=92s =9315 Forche=94 (see next).

ANGELO FRANCESCO LAVAGINO: Gli Specialisti / FRANCESCO DE MASI: 15
Forche per un Assassino (Beat CDCR 28) ** [22 tracks, 58:08]
Gli Specialisti (11); 15 Forche per un Assassino (11)
- -- A bit of fuzz guitar on one incidental track of =93Gli Specialisti,=94
otherwise pleasant but nothing special.  =9315 Forche=94 has a catchy tit=
le
track and some lively Mexicana incidental tracks.

Subject: (exotica) Spaghetti Western soundtracks -- part 2

LUIS BACALOV
Bacalov=92s incidental tracks tend toward less melody, more dissonance
than Morricone=92s.

The Italian Western of Luis Bacalov (Vivimusica 7014) ***
[28 tracks, 73:10]
Django (5+v); Quien Sabe [aka A Bullet for the General] (5); La Piu
Grande Rapina del West (5); L=92Oro dei Bravados (4); Si Puo Fare ...
Amigo (s+v); Sugar Colt (6)
- --A good-value-for-money sampler of Bacalov=92s work.

Il Grande Duello / Si Puo' Fare ... Amigo (EMI/ Point PRCD 120) ***
[24 tracks, 57:11]
Il Grande Duello (10); Si Puo=92 Fare ... Amigo (13+v)
- --The main theme to the first movie is one of the great spaghetti
melodies, arranged for lonesome harmonica, woodwinds, and moody
whistling.  It is inventively restated and varied throughout the score.
The second movie is a comedy, but the score is less lightweight than
you might expect.  The rrangements are an interesting mix of harmonica,
woodwinds, and strings, with occasional glockenspiel and fuzz guitar.

La Piu Grande Rapina del West / L'Oro dei Bravados (EMI GDM 2008) **
[22 tracks, 62:00]
La Piu Grande Rapina (13); L'Oro (9)
- --The first score is lightweight.   The second offers three versions of
a simple title theme, masterfully arranged for acoustic and fuzz
guitars, harmonica, harspichord, jew=92s harp, whistling, and clarinet.
The incidental tracks are unusually varied and listenable.

Django (Alhambra A 8930) ***
[15+3v tracks, 41:12]
- --A fine main theme (interestingly placed as track 9) and Mexicana
incidental music.

A Man Called Noon (Alhambra A 8935) *
[13 tracks, 31:02]
- --The main theme is kinda saccharine; the rest is fairly bland (perhaps
appropriately, given
that Richard Crenna was the star of the movie -- although the movie is
pretty good).

PIERO PICCIONI

...Si Incontri Sartana Prega per la tua Morte ** (EMI/ Point PRCD 124)
[27 tracks, 58:16]
- --The organ-led main theme (=93Sycamore Trails=94) and reprises sound
almost like Booker T.
doing a spaghetti western (except for the additional harpsichord),
which is cool enough.  The rest is mostly piano-dominated background
music.

PICCIONI: Quel Caldo Maledetto Giorno di Fuoco / Attento Gringo ... E=92
Tornato Sabata / MANUEL DE SICA: Lo Chiamavano Verita (Beat CDCR 31) *
[19 tracks, 45:21]
Quel Caldo (12); Attento Gringo (3); Verita (4)
- --The jazzy, organ-led main theme for Quel Caldo (you also get 5
reprises, plus a bunch of virtually tuneless =93suspense=94 tracks)
foreshadows Piccioni=92s later work on Italian soft-core films (check out
the comps Beat at Cinecitta, vols. 1&2), though there is spaghetti-ish
harmonica on some tracks.  Nothing special in the other two scores.

STELVIO CIPRIANI
The Bounty Killer / Un Uomo, Un Cavallo, Una Pistola / Nevada (CAM CSE
800-147) ***
[27 tracks, 62:22]
Bounty Killer (9); Uomo (11); Nevada (6+v)
- -- The first two scores are very Morricone-like and catchy.

LALLO GORI
Buckaroo [Il Winchester che non Perdona] *** (Beat CDCR 42) [19+v
tracks, 46:05]
- --Good galloping main theme with trumpet; the best incidental tracks
feature acoustic guitars, electric bass, and the great harmonica of
Franco de Gemini.

BENEDETTO GHIGLIA
Adios Gringo / Un Dollaro tra i Denti [A Stranger in Town] (CAM 1CSE
800-119) **
[25 tracks, 56:13]
Adios (16); Dollaro (9)
- --The title theme to the first movie is good, but do you really need 10
(!!) versions, arranged for different instruments?  And 4 versions of
the secondary theme?  The second score is almost as repetitive, but
features cool guitar tones.

DANIELE PATUCCHI
Los Amigos (CAM CSE 075) * [9 tracks, 26:54]
- --The mellow trumpets and flutes make this sound more like music for a
=9170s British TV show than for a spaghetti western.  Maybe it=92s mercif=
ul
that it=92s so short.

VARIOUS ARTISTS

KOJUCHAROV & MANCUSO: Una Lunga Fila di Croci / RUSTICHELLI:  Tutti per
uno Botte per Tutti / MIGLIARDI: Prega il Morto e Ammazza il Vivo (Beat
CDCR
35) ***
[31 tracks, 74:50]
Una Lunga Fila (6+2v); Tutti per Uno (13); Prega il Morto (8+2v)
- --This disc starts slowly but gets better.  Two tracks made it on to
the MDSW comp, but it=92s all pretty good. The first score is fairly
standard; the second is a curious mix of Mexicana and Orientalia, with
a little bit of Circus thrown in.  The third -- for a Chuck Connors
vehicle -- is dark, dissonant, and percussive, in interesting ways.

My Delicious Spaghetti Western (Dago Red 102-2) ***** [16 tracks,
41:25]
DE MASI: C=92e Sartana ... Vendi la Pistola e Comprati la Bara [aka
Fistful of Lead] (1); Vado ... L=92Ammazzo e Torno (3+v); Ammazzali Tutti
e Torna Solo (v); Sartana non Perdona (1); Il Segno del Coyote (1);
NICOLAI: Buon Funerale Amigos ... Paga Sartana [aka Have a Good
Funeral, My Friend] (2); Gli Fumavano le Colt ... Lo Chiamavano
Camposanto  (2); GORI: Buckaroo (2); MIGLIARDI: Prega il Morto ed
Ammazza il Vivo (1); KOJUCHAROV - MANCUSO: Una Lunga Fila di Croci (1)
- -- If you=92re looking for an introduction to the greatest spaghetti
composers after Morricone, this is the perfect place to start.  If
you=92re already prepared to take a big plunge, you could skip this disc
and just buy the Nicolai, De Masi, Gori, and Kojucharov-Mancuso
soundtracks on the Beat label that are excerpted here.

The Fantastic World of Spaghetti Western (Vivimusica 7016) ***
[30 tracks, 64:14]
MORRICONE: Vamos a Matar Companeros (v), Tepepa (v), I Crudeli [aka The
Hellbenders] (4), Che C=92entriamo noi con la Rivoluzione? (1); ORTOLANI:
Una Ragione
per Vivere e Una per Morire (4); PICCIONI: Se Incontri Sartana Prega
per la tua Morte (4); Trovaioli: I Lunchi Giorni della Vendetta (5); DE
MASI:  [Sette] Winchester per un Massacro (3+v); ABRIL: Texas, Addio
(5+v)
- --Only place I know to get four tracks from Morricone=92s percussive
cool-jazz-spaghetti score to =93The Hellbenders=94, plus some other good
stuff.

Wanted Dead or Alive (CAM 900-020) ***
[20 tracks, 68:25]
MORRICONE: Duello nel Texas (s), La Banda J&S - Cronaca Criminale del
Far West (2); LAVAGNINO: 5,000 Dollari sull=92Asso (1); PICCIONI:
Minnesota Clay (2);
FERRIO: Un Dollaro Bucato (1); Vivi or Preferibilimente Morti (v);
GHIGLIA: Adios Gringo (1); CIPRIANI: The Bounty Killer (s); Un Uomo, Un
Cavallo, Una Pistola (1); DE MASI: Arizona Colt (v); Quella Sporca
Storia nel West (v); RUSTICHELLI: Dio Perdona ... Io No (s); NICOLAI:
Corri, Uomo Corri (2); COLAROSSI: All=92Ultimo
Sangue (1); BACALOV: Il Prezzo del Potere (1); PATUCCHI: Los Amigos (2)

- --Good compilation of highlights from soundtracks available on the CAM
label.

Spaghetti Westerns vol. 1 (DRG 32905) *****
[2 discs, 77 tracks, 152:06]
DI STEFANO: Shango [aka The Invincible Gun] (3); DE MASI: Quanto Costa
Morire (2+v); DONAGGIO: Amore Piombe e Furore (2); BIXIO: Ed Ora
Raccomana L=92anima a Dio [aka And Now Recommend Your Soul to God] (1+v);
IGANTE, NADIN, & BASCERANO: Wanted Johnny Texas (3), Prega Dio e
Scavati la Fossa [aka Pray to God and Dig your Grave] (3); FERRIO: Quei
Disperati che Puzzano di Sudore e di Morte [aka Los Desperados] (4),
Amico Stammi Lontano Almeno un Palmo [aka Ben and Charlie](6);
SIMONETTI: Kid il Monello del West (1); PREGADIO: Deserto di Fuoco
(2+v); BIXIO, FRIZZI, & TEMPERA: Carambola (3), Carambola Filotto Tutti
in Buca (2); MORRICONE: Giu=92 la Testa [aka Duck you Sucker, aka A
Fistful of Dynamite](1); LAVAGNINO: Uno Straniero a Paso Bravo (2+v),
Requium per un Gringo (4); Johnny West il Mancino (3+v); ORTOLANI: La
Notte dei Serpenti (5+v); RUSTICHELLI: Vado Vedo e Sparo (2); UMILIANI:
Roy Colt & Winchester Jack (s); MARTELLI: Sartana nella Valle degli
Avvoltoi (3), Ancora Dollari per i McGregors (1)
- --Essential.  Where else are you going to hear themes to so many
obscure spaghetti westerns?  Some of the composers are equally obscure,
but here you get just the high points of their Morricone-style film
work.

Spaghetti Westerns vol. 2 (DRG 32909) ****
[2 discs, 63 tracks, 150:49]
NICOLAI: 100,000 Dollari per Ringo (1); SAVINA: I Due Gringos del Texas
(3); PREGADIO & RIZZATI: Django, L=92Ultimo Killer (4); BACALOV: Si Puo=92
Fare ...

(1), Il Grande Duello (2), Quien Sabe? [aka A Bullet for the General]
(1), Sugar Colt (1), I Quattro del Pater Noster (3), Monta in Sella,
Figlio di ... (4), Lo Chiamavano King [aka His Name was King] (1+s), La
Morte Sull=92Alta Collina (2), Partirono Preti e Tornarono Curati (2+v),
Django (v); Lo Chiamavano Mezzogiorno [aka A Man Called Noon] (1);
MORRICONE: Tepepa (1), Vamos a Matar, Companeros (1), I Crudeli [aka
The Hellbenders] (1), Che C=92Entriamo noi con la Rivoluzione? (1), Il
Mio Nome e=92 Nessuno [aka My Name is Nobody]; ORTOLANI: Una Ragione per
Vivere e Una per Morire [aka A Reason to Live, A Reason to Die](1);
PICCIONI: Io non Perdona ... Uccido (3), Nel Nome del Padre, del Figlio
e della Colt (2), Una Colt in Mano al Diavolo (2), Se Incontri Sartana,
Prega per la tua Morte (2); TALLINO: Killer, Adios! (4); TROVAIOLI: I
Lunghi Giorni della Vendetta (1); ABRIL: Texas Addio (v); DE MASI:
Sette Winchester per un Massacro (1); PES: Professionisti per un
Massacro (s); PREGADIO: Un Buco in Fronte (7)
- --One fewer star than vol. 1 because more of these tracks are available
elsewhere.
