Cosi Insegnai A Charles Bronson Ad Impugnare L'Armonica (aka From Beat To Beat) (book plus CD)

Out Of Stock

A wonderful memoir from the glory days of the Italian soundtrack scene -- penned by Franco De Gemini (aka "The Man With The Harmonica"), and filled with loads of color photos and images of albums! Franco's memoirs are often quite personal -- at a level that sheds tremendous new light into the workings of the Italian scene back in these days, and filled with loads of great asides and stories that are as compelling as the historical details themselves. The book is heavy on text, but features many images in color -- including a huge section in the back that offers cover images for dozens of classic albums on the Beat label! CD features 19 of the funkiest, grooviest tracks ever from Beat -- titles by Armando Trovajoli, Franco Micalizzi, Alessandro Alessandroni, Roberto Pregadio, and many others -- and the book is over 200 pages, softcover, and very nicely done! (Note: This is a second edition of the book From Beat To Beat -- reprinted with a new title, and 24 more pages of material.)  © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc.
