A landmark record – not only in the history of the
western, but in that of Ennio Morricone! The soundtrack, written for this hit Clint Eastwood spaghetti
western, is everything you'd want in a 60s
western – driving orchestral passages, twanging guitar parts, and spooky little bits that isolate the mood of a scene nicely. The work's an instant classic, and is still one of Morricone's strongest
western soundtracks – even if it is one of the most familiar. Titles include "Without Pity", "Almost Dead", "Square Dance", "The Chase", and the extended "Fistful Of Dollars" suite, which takes up all of side two.
