"Arcana" is a horror/dramatic movie directed by Giulio Questi and starring, among others, Lucia Bosé, Maurizio Degli Esposti e Tina Aumont. Its soundtrack, composed by Romolo Grano, is here reissued for the first time ever on vinyl.
For "Arcana" Romolo Grano composed a soundtrack that develops in a truly original way, almost like in a lively ballet, characterized by classical flavoured strings with a pop music accompaniment, Edda Dell'Orso's voice, and the Hammond organ in the title-track (A1). "Introversione" (A2) features strings full of tension, distorted electric guitars and a marimba. "Taranta" (A3) is basically folk music with violin and percussion to accompany some sequences of the film. "L'uomo con sé stesso" (A4) is an extremely delicate piece for solo guitar, then romantically reprised in "L'uomo con sé stesso (Pt. 2)" (B1) in an orchestral version with Edda Dell'Orso's voice and pop rhythms. "Sacro e profano" (B2) contains a part of the two previous themes, but with a mysterious violin performance, distorted electric guitars and dissonant strings layers. In "Percezioni extra sensoriali" (B3) harpsichord, string tremolos, flute, marimba, vibraphone and female vocals create an atmosphere of supernatural-sounding anguish. This soundtrack was arranged and conducted by Berto Pisano.
At the time, RCA produced a small run of a rare promotional LP that is here reissued on vinyl for the first time ever using the stereo master assembled by the composer himself, with a total running time of around 31 minutes.
First ever LP reissue, Record Store Day 2025 exclusive on clear red vinyl with 30x30cm insert. Liner notes and audio remastered by Claudio Fuiano.

"A come Andromeda" is a TV sci-fi mini-series directed by Vittorio Cottafavi, based on the eponymous novel (A for Andromeda) written by Fred Hoyle and John Elliot, aired in Italy by RAI in 1972. Its soundtrack, composed and conducted by Mario Migliardi, is finally released on vinyl for the first time ever.
While listening to this album, one is plunged into a sci-fi dimension of experimental sounds that are sometimes hallucinatory, sometimes calm and tonal. Alessandroni's Cantori Moderni take part in this, blending into a magma of sounds constantly balanced between Heaven and Hell. "Tema di Andromeda" (A1), the main theme with Edda Dell'Orso's crystal voice, with its baroque flavour and modern arrangement with distorted electric guitars and rhythms, was a huge radio and discographic success in the wake of the great popularity of the TV series. "Le spiagge di Durness" (A2) is a romantic and rhythmic string piece, almost a ballet like those typical of the great old Italian TV shows. The original session is in mono, apart from the single and the dissonant tracks (A3, A4) that were mixed in stereo. Fascinating soundscapes characterise this score (A5, A6, B1, B2, B3, B4), alternating between orchestral parts and electronic music. There are also lounge passages such as a flute bossa (A6) and an energetic shake (B5).
First ever LP edition exclusive for Record Store Day 2025 on clear acid green vinyl with 30x30cm insert. Liner notes and audio remastered by Claudio Fuiano.

For the Westerns starring the legendary Giuliano Gemma - A PISTOL FOR RINGO and THE RETURN OF RINGO - both directed by Duccio Tessari, he wrote the songs "Angel Face" (with lyrics by Gino Paoli) and "The Return of Ringo" respectively performed by Maurizio Graf with pop music arrangements that were popular at the time.

The beginning of the artistic collaboration between Ennio Morricone and Salce dates back to 1961, with one of the Maestro's very first soundtracks, "Il federale" (The Fascist); the partnership then continued with "La voglia matta" (Crazy Desire), "La cuccagna" (A Girl... and a Million), "Le monachine" (The Little Nuns), "Slalom", "El Greco" and, finally, "Come imparai ad amare le donne".
For this film, Ennio Morricone composed a soundtrack that is a true hymn to love, with an elegant and refined atmosphere led by the beat ballad "Pioggia sul tuo viso" performed by the English group The Sorrows, and by various romantic themes such as "La diva", "La donna gattina" and "La donna romantica" that alternate with classical compositions such as "Alta moda" and "Alla corte di Luigi XVI". The love theme returns in a danceable version in the opening credits.
Originally released in 1966 and reissued in 1985, this soundtrack is finally reissued on clear green vinyl LP with a new artwork and a 30x30cm insert. In addition, four tracks are here released on vinyl for the first time. Liner notes and audio remastered by Claudio Fuiano.

"Dietro il Processo" is a set of TV investigation episodes directed by Franco Biancacci and broadcast in Italy by RAI from 1978 to 1980, as part of the "Storie allo Specchio" series. Ennio Morricone wrote the main theme for "Dietro il Processo" and scored the three episodes "L'urlo", "L'ultima notte di Pier Paolo Pasolini" and "Il caso Montesi". None of Morricone's tracks were initially released and only in 2009 this soundtrack appeared on CD.
For "Dietro il Processo" Ennio Morricone wrote a dark, mysterious main theme, perfect for describing urban reality, in which the oboe, the trumpet with mute and the already mentioned flugelhorn played by Oscar Valdambrini intervene (A1, A4, A7, B7). "Confuso notturno" is a soft and extremely romantic piece for harpsichord and strings (A2), reprised in a pop key for saxophone and strings (A5), slower and more magical with keyboard and strings (B1) and in a version for trumpet and strings (B4). "Chiedere aiuto" is another motif of suspense and mystery, where the piano is accompanied by strings (A3), then reprised including Valdambrini's flugelhorn (B3), while "Dietro la facciata" (A6) is an apparently smooth theme for flugelhorn and strings that creates a suspended and hallucinatory atmosphere, reprised with sax (B2) and piano (B5). For this edition the original session stereo masters have been used.

"Kiss Kiss... Bang Bang" is a 1966 spy movie directed by Duccio Tessari, starring Giuliano Gemma, Daniele Vargas and George Martin among others. That same year only a 45rpm was released, including the tracks "Love Love Bang Bang" sung by Nancy Cuomo, accompanied by Alessandro Alessandroni's Cantori Moderni, and "Kiss-me-Warren-please". Therefore, this is the first ever vinyl edition of this soundtrack, including sixteen tracks taken from the original session mono master, for a total length of about 38 minutes.
Bruno Nicolai composed a soundtrack based on different versions of the two main themes. "Love Love Bang Bang", the song from the opening credits (A1), is featured with different arrangements: dreamy for sax and piano (A4), baroque classical (A5), march (B1), as a tender lullaby for strings and celesta (B4) and even with a James Bond-style intro (B8). "Kiss-Me-Warren-Please", the main character's love theme, is instead present as a jazz motif with solo sax (A2), trumpet (A6) and clarinet (B2). Bruno Nicolai has also composed evocative suspenseful atmospheres with organ and rhythmic effects to describe the spy side of the plot (A3, A7, B6) and tracks that would perfectly fit in a nightclub context (A8, B5, B7).
