Soundtracks — In Stock  

A much warmer soundtrack than you might guess from the "violenta" in the title – almost on a par with some of the best erotic film scores of the Italian scene in the early 70s! There's a great blend of jazzy lines and a few rootsier elements – particularly some South American... read more

An obscure one from the great Riz Ortolani – a travelogue film with a bit of vocals too!... read more

A pretty great soundtrack from Riz Ortolani for the early 70s War Goddess flick, aka Le Guerriere Dal Seno Nudo, aka Le Amazzoni – and like the best of Ortotani's work for somewhat pulpy flicks of the era, it's got sweep, intimacy and all around strengths that go above and beyond! The sounds... read more

Weird and spooky sounds from Oscillotron – a one-man outfit, but working here in sharply cinematic splendor! The music here takes plenty of cues from the late 70s/early 80s horror generation – with some wonderfully dark keyboard lines that resonate strongly throughout the entire set... read more

A funky treasure – finally unleashed! Bucktown was one of the best of the mid 70s indie blacksploitation films – thanks to some great starring work from Fred Williamson and Pam Grier – but for years, the soundtrack's never been available as an individual release. Now, this tasty... read more

An incredible funky soundtrack – one of the best of the blacksploitation generation, and one of the rarest too! Johnny Pate did the orchestrations for this excellent lost film, and he brought the same sort of energy to it that he did with his soundtrack for Shaft In Africa. There's some... read more

One of the greatest blacksploitation soundtracks ever – a massively beautiful record that goes beyond any cliches of the genre, and serves up a fantastically unique batch of tracks! Chisoul arranger Johnny Pate did the music for the film – and (dare we say it?) it's even greater that... read more

A rich selection of sounds from maestro Jean Claude Petit – easily one of the most important French soundtrack composers of the past few decades, and one of the few who can really turn out a classic-styled sort of orchestration! The package is overflowing with great themes and scenes set by... read more

The first-ever issue of music from a really weird John Phillips side-project of the 70s – a space-themed musical produced by Andy Warhol and directed by Paul Morrisey – with performances by Phillips, Dennh Doherty, and members of Warhol's Factory! Despite a loopy story, the tunes have... read more

"It's not a sequel – there's never been anything like it." Finally, an awesome reissue of the classically groovy camp soundtrack to "king of the nudies" Russ Meyer's crazy non-sequel to Valley Of The Dolls – one of the greatest exploitation movies of all time! The... read more

An overlooked gem from the mighty Piero Piccioni – scored for a 70s comedy with Alberto Sordi, and served up with some nice global touches in the music! The best tunes have a bouncy sound that's almost samba – but inflected with a lot of Italian soundtrack charm – which makes for... read more

A wonderfully different score by the great Piero Piccioni – filled with loads of bubbling understated grooves on organ, electric piano, and wah wah guitar!

Dreamy genius from Piero Piccioni – one of our favorite Italian composers ever! This set does for Piccioni what the Mondo Morricone sets did for Ennio – in that it pulls together an assortment of his best tracks from late 60s and early 70s soundtracks – with a focus on the... read more

The rare sound library disco record from Piero Piccioni & Luis Bacalov from the end of the 70s – really cool stuff with funky drums, guitars and bass that soars gloriously with strings – anchored by the 18+ minute title track and featuring several other cues! "Fire Stars... read more

Rare work from Aldo Piga – one of the lesser-known Italian film composers of the 60s! The set begins with a great mid 60s score for 5 Tombe Per Un Medium – used in that maturing mode of dramatic styles that you'd hear more in Brit horror films of the time – lush, yet with spare... read more

Sweet grooves from Berto Pisano – an Italian composer who always had a magic way with a mellow moment, but who takes things in a great new direction on this soundtrack! The music is as sexy and playful as the image on the cover – drawing partially from late 70s funk and club,... read more

Plenty of peepin going on on the cover to this sweet set of soundtrack tunes – and the CD features some music that's as equally goofy as the images on the front!

An early 70s giallo soundtrack by Roberto Pregadio – who we know and love for some very cool and moddish jazzy soundtrack work a bit earlier on – and this is another groovy, yet necessarily seedy and sinister set from the under-appreciated composer! It revolves around a funky theme,... read more

Billy Preston & Syreeta handled the music for this slightly-lame, kind of strange Gabe Kaplan vehicle from the late 70s. The music is relatively fine, although the album lacks any totally funky moments. Instrumentals include "Books & Basketball", "Half Time", "The... read more

Nice one! This is a groovy reissue of the soundtrack to Milano Violenta, written by Enrico Pieranunzi and Silvano Chimenti, and performed by the funky studio group Pulsar Music Ltd.

The fun fun soundtrack to Rock 'N' Roll High School – that gloriously, knowingly trashy Roger Corman produced movie vehicle for the Ramones!

Brilliant stuff – the follow-up to Sesame Street, a hipper show that was aimed at older kids, and which kind of played up the groovier aspect of the music a bit more at times. The soundtrack features performances by Rita Moreno, Morgan Freeman, June Angela, and Skip Hinnant – as well... read more

A great little soundtrack – even if it looks a bit snoozy from the outside! Don Costa's usually not our favorite arranger, but he does a great job with this one – laying out some hard blacksploitation grooves that have funky keyboards, sweet sitar, and lots of nice cop show grooves to... read more

The Delmark debut as a leader from drummer Frank Rosaly – and a very unique little record! Rosaly's a player we've really dug on other folks' records, and his vision here at the helm is pretty darn great – a real change from some of the modes used by his avant Chicago contemporaries... read more
