Plenty of exotic themes in this lesser-known Italian western score from the 60s – bits of flute, bits of whistling, and even some vocals from I Cantori Moderni! Mellower moments are nicely juxtaposed with more dramatic ones – underscoring the mix of romance and drama that follows the ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Limited 180 gram Digitmovies pressing from 2011.)
A crime thriller, but one with a beautiful score from Bruno Nicolai – slinky and 70s at times, and with some really gentle tension at others! This is definitely one of the works that has Nicolai stepping nicely away from Morricone – using some warmer elements in some of his best themes ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Cruising ... LP Columbia/Lorimar, 1980. Near Mint- ...

Strange mix of tracks for this film that has Al Pacino going undercover in New York's gay scene of the 70s. Most of the tracks are discrete songs, not instrumentals, and produced by Nitzsche.

The jury is sometimes out on the Mick Jagger on-screen performance in the Nicolas Roeg film Performance – but the soundtrack is something pretty separate entirely, and really says a lot more about the spirit of late 60s Warner Brothers Records in LA than it does the arthouse cinema scene in ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Rhino reissue on yellow vinyl – still sealed with hype stickers.)
A strange spacey soundtrack from mid 80s Spain – one composed for a daytime TV show, but with a weird electronic vibe that must have shocked the kids who were watching at the time! The music has some echoes of the cooler side of the German new wave – not the darkness of the cold wave ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A rare early moment from the legendary Austrian group Paternoster – sounds that predate their one and only cult-status album – originally created for the equally legendary film, Die Ersten Tage! The music here was never issued commercially at the time – and the release of these ... (Rock, Soundtracks)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
One of the first great soundtracks we ever heard from Piero Piccioni – and still one of the best! Colpo Rovente has this really special sort of sound – jazzy, but not really jazz – bassy, but not really funky – and often done with spare, stark sounds – but never in a ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Two amazing works from Belgian electronic genius Alain Pierre – both appearing in this form for the first time ever!

Rare Italian horror work done by Franco Piersanti – done for a creepy film, as you might guess from the cover – but one that's scored by Piersanti with a surprising degree of sensitivity, and some very rich orchestrations that are very different than the stark, more electric modes being ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

(Cover has a cut corner, light surface wear, some edge wear, round sticker spot, and is lightly bent at the edges.)
Insane! This is a totally weird album of messed-up funky grooves, played by the enigmatic Pool-Pah rock group, with arrangements by Rupert Holmes (of "Pina Colada" fame!)

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

A surprisingly nice score from Riddle – and pretty different than most late 50s crime jazz LPs!

$25.9929.99
One of the coolest records ever cut by Ze Rodrix, as you might guess from the image on the cover – very different than some of his more staid recordings on the Brazilian scene, and instead a very dynamic soundtrack that's full of funky moments! Ze's clearly got the bug of the American and ... (Brazil, Soundtracks)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Kenny Rogers gets bigger billing on the cover, but the real treat is the instrumentals by Shorty Rogers – including "Cajun Source", "Take A Walk", "Up Yours", "Someone Who Cares", and "Anais & Mathew". LP, Vinyl record album

A beautiful soundtrack to the dark British comedy of the same name – starring a young Michael Caine!

(Cover has a cut corner, in great shape otherwise.)
A gem of a record from the legendary Nino Rota – one of his best scores for director Federico Fellini – a bit later than some of their 60s classics, but equally great!

(Original Italian Cam pressing with deep groove. Cover has light wear and minor blemishes.)
Incredible work by Nino Rota – and one of his best scores ever for Fellini!

Nice one! Clint Eastwood will forever be remembered for his groundbreaking tough guy work in the Dirty Harry films – but equally famous are Lalo Schifrin's funky soundtracks for the movies!
