A beautiful little soundtrack from the great Riz Ortolani – maybe not as striking as you'd expect from the cover, but a record that's filled with all sorts of wonderfully-penned moments! Ortolani is at his most sensitive here – not going for the kind of heavy-handed representation that ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A tremendous score from Italian composer Riz Ortolani – one that really falls on a much groovier side of his spectrum than some of his bigger international hits of the 60s! The music gets tense at times, but always seems to resolve quickly with some jazzier modes – occasional basslines ... read moreCD
Beautiful sounds from Riz Ortolani – a much more serious score than some of his work in the 60s, and a set that's almost got a Morricone-like majesty at times! Orchestrations are full, but have some nicely isolated instrumentation – which crafts these melodies that are simple, but ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Early 80s issue. Cover has some ring and edge wear and a small peeled spot from sticker removal.)
The cover's creepy enough – and the music is too – an instrumentally complicated score – one that features heavy guitars one minute, then strings, then stark, spare instrumentation the next – including weird bass bits and electric harpsichord passages that are very nice! ... read moreCD
A fantastic funky soundtrack from Riz Ortolani – quite different than some of his bigger hits of the 60s, and full of heavy basslines and lots of great drums! The style here is in the best cop/crime mode of the time – but has even more blacksploitation grit at the bottom than the usual ... read moreCD
Two unreleased soundtracks from electronic genius Bernard Parmegiani – both surprisingly tuneful, although also equally abstract!

$21.9929.99
A record with a stark-looking cover, but one that hides a lot of warm within – a set of very well-done 70s tracks from Italian composer Daniele Patucchi, who has a great way of mixing a central theme with some funkier moments that have a nice cop/crime sort of groove! The main theme is great ... read moreCD
The cover's creepy, but the soundtrack starts with a beautiful theme – a spare piano number that sets things up nicely, before the music moves into more of the 80s electric horror styles that you might expect! Yet throughout the set, there's these moments of gentle soulfulness that really ... read moreCD
Don Peake did a great job for the music on this 1991 Wes Craven thriller – mixing all sorts of keyboard elements with a larger selection of sounds – all served up on short little tracks that really create a spooky sort of magic as the album unfolds!

(Cover has clear tape on the seams and light wear.)
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 moreCD
Beautiful grooves from the legendary Piero Piccioni – a set that's a great follow-up to some of his famous 60s work – touched with a few more sexy 70s touches than before, but in a way that's still extremely groovy! There's lots of electric piano lines on the set – almost a ... read moreCD
A career-spanning collection of work from one of our favorite Italian soundtrack composers of all time – the fantastic Piero Piccioni, presented here in a wealth of material pulled from the vaults of Cam!

A nice little score from the great Piccioni – penned for a mid 60s film about a bullfighter!

(Stereo pressing. Cover has light wear and some aging.)
Very rare early work from Italian maestro Piero Piccioni – music composed for an Italian TV show at the start of the 60s – served up in a mix of jazz and other groovy styles!

An obscure French period comedy from 1971 – with a surprisingly groovy score from Michel Polnareff!

A beat-era film classic – Andre Previn's jazzy score to the film based on Jack Kerouac's novel The Subterraneans! Previn's working here in a mode that's sometimes lush and emotive, but often more upbeat and jazzy – and performed by a host of great jazz players that include Gerry ... read moreCD
Classic-styled funk from Alex Puddu – not only the greatest record we've heard from him so far, but a set that's definitely worthy of its "golden age" claim in the title! The music is all new, but it was done for a series of short Danish porno films from the 70s – and Puddu ... (Deep Funk, Soundtracks)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Fantastic stuff – and one of the grooviest soundtracks you'll ever hope to own!

(Mono Dynagroove pressing with deep groove. Cover has some ring and edge wear and some light stains on back.)
One of the most unique soundtracks of the blacksploitation generation – but maybe that's also because the film Lord Shango was also somewhat different than most – a hipper, more creative movie that took on a number of themes, which are all echoed by Howard Roberts in his music!

Leonard Rosenman's stirring score to Prophecy – a creepy late film from John Frankenheimer, about a weird little monster that's a lot more cheesy than the music!

(Stereo Gold Label Series pressing in the textured cover. Cover has light wear and aging, with some pieces of clear tape at the top seam.)

Two early 70s scores from Philippe Sarde – both from a time when he was really at the top of his game! Le Chat is a soundtrack that's done with the rich amount of feeling that can make some of the best Sarde scores so special – larger orchestrations, but peppered with solo piano by ... read moreCD
Our favorite album ever from French soundtrack maestro Philippe Sarde – and maybe one of our favorite French soundtracks too!

A pretty tense score – especially for Lalo Schifrin, who we normally know for his groovier soundtracks!

A pretty cool score by Lalo Schifrin – one that's Latin, but not in the same bossa style as his other 60s albums.

Not a surf record – but a wonderful batch of groovy groovy jazz!

A surprisingly nice album – a return to the territory covered by Lalo Schifrin in his classic 60s album Schifrin/Sade, originally issued on Verve! Like that one, this set has Lalo playing piano and harpischord in jazzed-up tunes with a distinctly baroque feel – almost classical-jazz, ... read moreCD
British jazzman Johnny Scott leads a larger orchestra in a set of serious and dramatic pieces for this 60s film that paired Sherlock Holmes and Jack The Ripper (how many of these were made over the years?)

An excellent 70s funky thriller soundtrack! This one's been a lost gem for sample freaks for years – and no wonder, since it's filled with funky riffing, tight rhythm tracks, and fierce horn blasts. The score was written by David Shire to accompany a thriller about some guys who hijack a ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
That's a very 80s image on the cover, and there's a very 80s feel to the record – a set that's awash in the kind of cool keyboard work you'd expect from Claudio Simonetti, often served up with a lean style that owes plenty to the legacy of John Carpenter! The keys can move from deep and ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
One of the sweetest, funkiest Italian soundtracks we've heard from the 70s – originally written for a sci-fi TV show by Enrico Simonetti, and filled with some really great work on keyboards!
