RELEASE DATE: 7/1/2022
Beat Records announce a new tribute to the music for the great cinema of Carlo Verdone with the release of the original motion picture soundtrack of Acqua E Sapone, composed by maestro Fabio Liberatori, the artist who features the greatest number of collaborations with the Roman director. Shot in 1983 it's the story of Rolando Ferrazza (Verdone) who, stolen the identity of Father Spinelli, finds a job as private teacher for Sandy Wash (Natasha Hovey), a young teenage model with whom he will soon fall in love. The story will come to a bittersweet conclusion, in the typical style of its director, for sure more bitter than sweet, with the unavoidable separation of the two lovers and the return to normal life, now permanently marked by the experience. A movie that, like many others shot by Verdone, was a landmark of an era, portrayed through the humanity of its protagonists, their forbidden dreams, great delusions and tragic daily life, everything narrated through a biting poetic style and delicate irony in a guise that made Verdone's cinema a unique genre. The wonderful music by Fabio Liberatori, previously partially available through a compilation dedicated to his soundtracks, now finally released for the first time in a complete edition dedicated to this score with a great electronic frame, a sound that the musician skillfully masters chiseling a series of moods throughout the story. Wonderful original artwork by Renato Casaro. This release has been possible through the collaboration with Cecchi Gori which gave access to maestro Fabio Liberatori score, remastered under his supervision by Gianrico La Rosa, and with Sony Music Italy which authorized the addition of songs, "Acqua e Sapone" and "C'é", which could not be missing from a tribute to this movie. Editing by Claudio Fuiano, graphic layout by Daniele De Gemini. CD version includes 16-page booklet.

Milano Trema: La Polizia Vuole Giustizia (aka The Violent Professionals) directed by Sergio Martino in 1973. The movie is placed in a violent Milan where in tangible way the alarming and fool of fears mood reigns that characterized life in the big Italian cities in the so called "Anni Di Piombo" ("Lead Years"). Commissioner Caneparo who, after being suspended in his service, for his unorthodox ways, he wants getting revenge for a colleague's death. The fearless cop introduces himself in the criminal world, finding favor with a criminal gang -- after a series of bloody robberies, very fast chases in the streets of Milan he succeeds to discover the gang's boss, a publisher who wants to support a dictatorial regime. Martino with sane and careful job succeeds to realize a fluent movie, full of rhythm and without dead points; also, he succeeds on recreating the violent and full of fears mood of those years, through the valid performance of the actors. The images are brilliantly background with the score by brothers Guido & Maurizio De Angelis who have written a memorable monothematic original soundtrack dominated by a melancholic main theme performed by Moog accompanied by the orchestra conducted by Gianfranco Plenizio that is introduced in the first track. This leit motif is reprised continuously in the OST almost to follow all the moods of commissioner Caneparo in his bitter story of revenge, with fascinating variations. At that time RCA released just a 45rpm single (Rca OC 39) containing the cover version of "Blue Song", the main theme sung by Susy & Guy that Beat Records include on CD for the absolute first time and "And Life Goes On" sung by Susy Lion. Mastering by Claudio Fuiano. Liner notes by Marina Crescenti. Graphic layout by Daniele De Gemini.

Beat Records present on CD the original score by Ennio Morricone for the western La Resa Dei Conti (Aka The Big Gundown, El Halcon Y La Presa) directed in 1966 by Sergio Sollima and starring Lee Van Cleef, Tomas Milian, Nieves Navarro, Walter Barnes, Jose Torres. This movie, considered one of the most important of its kind, is truly brilliant really because it compared two icons of the Italian Western such as Van Cleef and Milian, really perfect in their roles as American gunfighter and Mexican bandit challenging each other bloody duels with no holds barred. Ennio Morricone created one of his most evocative soundtracks for the Italian western composing a wild orchestral theme introduced in the main titles song performed by the sharp throat of Christy, a well-known name among fans of film music. The arghilofono, with an ethnic atmosphere, with sound effects that mimic the cry of birds of prey and with Latin percussion accompaniment, slowly anticipates a powerful development for orchestra and choir in the instrumental version, where the crystalline voice of Edda Dell'Orso is featured. This heroic motif is alternated with mysterious and often dramatic passages drawn from experimental music. The author incorporates fragments of "Fur Elise" (Beethoven) as background to the clash between Corbett and Baron Von Schulenberg, who uses a special holster of his invention. In Italy the album was released in audio mono on Parade Label (EPL 2891) and in America in stereo by United Artists (SULP 1228). Reprinted on CD in Italy and in Japan, this new version has a longer duration and it is the definitive presentation. This CD includes both the original album tracks in stereo and the mono film versions with completely restored sound and also it contains a true rarity bonus track: the film version of the "Finale" with a never released intro featuring a grotesque effect of arghilofono with strings and oboe. Mastering by Claudio Fuiano and Daniel Winkler. Liner notes by Andrea Morandi. Graphic layout by Daniele De Gemini.

A catalog such as Beat Records, with its roots in the '60s may have a difficult logistic. Beat Records changed many times head quarter up to moving to Via Filippo Nicolai 16 from the late '80s up to nowadays. Such a company catalog, sensibly grown during 55 years of life, was always needing more space and so, recently, the label decided to find a new place where to agglomerate various storages spread through Rome. What does all the above things have to do with They Call Him Trinity? A lot, while archiving some tapes in order to prepare our forthcoming transfer, the label found them. Six 24-track master tapes belonging to the original recording session. Priceless material stored in crates in a corner, still there to be archived since a preceding moving. A brief e-mail exchange with our co-publishers of Carosello, a meeting in Milan with Adriana Branchini and Dario Giovannini, to get their support and they proceeded with this recovery project. The first release of this score is dated January 1971, this 2021 December the 50th year will expire. With all due precautions Beat Records transferred the tapes and organized a remastering session in Trafalgar studios, Enrico De Gemini experience, responsible of West catalog, guided the recovery and restoration. Surprises weren't late, the recording was perfect, the crisp sound could be remastered in a brilliant stereo. One of the most beloved Western soundtracks of all time is going to live a second youth with a great dynamic, not saturated, the various ingredients and still tasting the mixed amazing resulting effect. And there is a lot of unreleased material, an amazing deguello version featuring a trumpet instead of the flugelhorn, a beautiful alternate version of "Di Fronte Ai Killers", of "Un Cowboy e Due Ragazze", and a lot of unreleased takes of "Trinity's Valley" in which Franco De Gemini harmonica is prominent. Mastering by Enrico De Gemini; graphic layout by Daniele De Gemini.

Beat Records release on CD the original soundtrack composed by Ennio Morricone for the 1971 giallo movie Gli Occhi Freddi Della Paura (aka The Cold Eyes of Fear), directed by Enzo G. Castellari with a screenplay by Enzo G. Castellari, Leo Anchóriz and Tito Carpi. Photography by Antonio L. Ballesteros, editing by Vincenzo Tomassi, and starring Giovanna Ralli, Gianni Garko, Fernando Rey, Julián Mateos, Karin Schubert, Frank Wolff, Franco Marletta, Leonardo Scavino. The plot -- Peter Badel, the young son of a judge, arrives back home with his girlfriend Anna and is held captive by two criminals who'd been lying in wait after killing the servant. The older of the two criminals, who'd been sentenced by Peter's father to fifteen years in jail, plans to kill the judge when he returns home by blowing up the house with an explosive device. Peter and his girlfriend try everything in their power to communicate with the outside world, but their efforts are in vain. Desperate, the young man causes a short circuit that leaves the house in complete darkness. In the ensuing climactic fight scene, the two criminals and the girlfriend are killed, and Peter, the only survivor, battered and bleeding, awaits his father's return. The music -- Ennio Morricone composed a score of the experimental kind, conducted by Bruno Nicolai and performed by Gruppo di improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza. With just a few instruments performing a sort of conversation, the maestro effectively creates an avant-garde atmosphere, suspended and rarefied, alternating with other violent clashes of sound that provide the ideal background to the situation of pure terror in which the protagonists find themselves. For the making of this CD, the stereo master tapes of the original session were used, providing another discographic tribute to the musical art of Ennio Morricone and the cinematic art of director Enzo G. Castellari. Liner notes by Fabio Babini, mastering by Claudio Fuiano, and graphic layout by Daniele De Gemini.

Beat Records present on CD the original score by Mario Migliardi for the western Matalo! directed by Cesare Canevari in 1970. For the soundtrack of Matalo!, director Canevari decided to call a composer he had never worked with: Mario Migliardi. Thus, after Ferrio, Gian Piero Reverberi (for Una jena in cassaforte) and Armando Sciascia (Per un dollaro a Tucson si muore), the director begins a new collaboration with a composer who had done a lot for television, but little for cinema, with the exception of Duccio Tessari's La sfinge sorride prima di morire" and Mal's negligible musicarello Pensiero d'amore. It could therefore have been a risk, a sensational flop, but instead it was a stroke of genius, because Migliardi not only accepted Canevari's challenge but also veered dramatically towards a crazy, brilliant and psychedelic soundtrack, definitely ahead of its time. Why? Because instead of fishing from the sound of spaghetti Westerns and known references, Migliardi -- who was fifty years old at the time -- decided to take the rock and pop sounds in vogue at the end of the sixties, mixing Western and psychedelic, folk and electric guitars in a combination that still today, sounds incredibly modern. The Matalo! soundtrack is a forgotten little (big) gem that absolutely must be rescued and reconsidered, even within the path of cinema composition of the period. After entering the Western, Canevari in fact returned to Reverberi for Il romanzo di un giovane povero, shot four years later, while Migliardi would remain in the west with Klaus Kinski, first in Prega il morto e ammazza il vivo and then in Il venditore di morte. In fact, however, his work on Matalo! was sort of a dead end that remains so today, a brilliant venture from which one could probably go back, a soundtrack that not only remains standing without the images it comments upon, but that seems almost like a concept album halfway between prog, rock and echoes of contemporary "modern," between John Cage and Terry Riley. Also, pay attention to the voice you hear on the album: it is that of Giano Ton (or Giacomo Tosti), the singer and producer who in the sixties had recorded several 45 rpms and who later would also produce the Scottish band Middle Of The Road. Mastering by Claudio Fuiano; liner notes by Andrea Morandi; graphic layout by Daniele De Gemini; 12-page booklet.

Beat Records present the original score by Alessandro Alessandroni for Formula 1 nell inferno del Grand Prix (aka Maniacs On Wheels) a comedy with dramatic undertones directed in 1970 by Guido Malatesta, with a screenplay by Guido Malatesta and Gianfranco Clerici, photography by Mario Mancini, and editing by Jolanda Benvenuti. The cast includes Olga Berová, Giacomo Agostini, Agostina Belli, Graham Hill, Brad Harris, Irio Fantini, Silvana Jachino, Marianne Hoffmann, Fulvio Mingozzi, Gioiella Minicardi, Franco Ressel, Franca Sciutto, Rafael Santos, Ivano Staccioli, Hans von Borsody, and Gigi Bonos. Alessandro Alessandroni is a 360-degree musician, having linked his name to the famous choir of Cantori Moderni in countless soundtracks and to Italian television (Studio Uno, Sabato sera, Canzonissima'68, Canzonissima'69), not to mention composing music for movies as well as many themes for libraries. Beat Records releasing this soundtrack assembled from the mono master tapes of the recording sessions. Maestro Alessandroni composed a soundtrack where lounge music is prominent, starting with the "Main Titles," a rhythmic motif for orchestra and choir that provides the background to a car race, but also both instrumental and vocal dancefloor themes (that accompany dance scenes during house parties or at night clubs) and even a beat-like march. The composer also wrote pieces where the solo organ creates sensual atmospheres alternating with suspense music for strings and a romantic love theme for orchestra and choir. This OST is another rescue and preservation of Italian film music and a tribute to the great talent of Alessandro Alessandroni, a musician loved by fans all over the world.

Beat Record reissue on CD this original soundtrack from the western movie Vamos A Matar Compañeros (aka Compañeros) directed in 1970 by Sergio Corbucci, starring Franco Nero, Tomas Milian, Jack Palance, Fernando Rey, Iris Berben, José Bódalo, Eduardo Fajardo, Karin Schubert, Gérard Tichy, Gino Pernice, Claudio Scarchilli, Álvaro de Luna and Jesús Fernández. Ennio Morricone wrote fabulous music scores for the revolutionary Western genre, including films such as Tepepa, La resa dei conti, and Il mercenario. Certainly, Vamos A Matar Compañeros remains one of his fans' favorite works, where the harmonica by Franco De Gemini, Alessandroni's whistle and the Cantori Moderni choir play the lion's share. In 1970, a single was released with the themes "Vamos A Matar Compañeros" (with lyrics by Bruno Corbucci) and "Il pinguino". The main theme, "Vamos A Matar Compañeros", with its revolutionary flavor, is a cheerful, rhythmic piece with choir and the intervention of harmonica, organ and tolling bell that is frequently repeated throughout the soundtrack. Another recurring theme is the light-hearted "Il pinguino" motif for whistle, harmonica, banjo and orchestra, while "La Mexicana" is a nostalgic motif with harmonica and orchestra. The mystical theme of "La Loro Patria" with its revolutionary flavor returns to the soundtrack with guitar and strings. The tension of the story is provided by dramatic, almost atonal themes such as "Un Uomo In Agguato" and "Cecchino". There is also the obligatory saloon music, according to the tradition of the genre. Beat Records reissues on the market this masterpiece by Ennio Morricone for the Italian Western using the stereo masters of the original recording sessions, with a total duration of 63 minutes. Mastering by Claudio Fuiano. liner notes by Daniel Winkler. Graphic layout by Daniele De Gemini. Includes 12-page booklet.

50 years ago, Franco and Luciana De Gemini had recently moved to Rome, both looking for their place in the world. Through his collaborations with many great maestros of the period and his involvement with the orchestras, Franco got to know many people including Fulvio Corradini and Benito Costa (the former an administrator of prestigious record catalogs, the second a trusted friend). In fact, they had already caught wind of a small record label called Beat Records Company, founded on May 12, 1966, but the two had no time to devote to the endeavor so they trusted its administration to Franco De Gemini by actively involving him as a partner. It was on March 23, 1968, that they set foot in that office on Viale Medaglie D'oro. Beat had published 58 tracks, had 16,500 Liras in cash and a tax fine of 140,000 liras for failure to report. That was the day that Franco and Luciana began their adventure, which would last for him until July 20, 2013, and for her until March 3, 2016. It was an intense fifty years, always with one foot on an airplane, in a smoke-filled recording studio, in front of a Moviola viewing the scrolling images of film or around a table with incredible characters, to talk, create music and art, or simply to enjoy life. That little two-year-old son that was once picked up and held by Franco and Luciana is now a man of 50, a man with whom generations of film and music fans have been able to cultivate their passions, served and revered by the tireless work of this incredible couple. Having reached this important landmark in time, with over half a century of history behind the label, they decided to revive five significant favorites from their musical catalog and replicate them in their original format. The fifth appointment of this revival is with one of our scores unreleased on vinyl, Alla Ricerca Del Piacere by Teo Usuelli, a score a movie featuring the divine Barbara Bouchet, a beautiful icon beloved on both sides of the ocean. The music -- iconic as well, and among the most appreciated in Beat Records' catalog -- has been included on Beat at Cinecittà albums and used by the Cohen Brothers, who included "Piacere sequence, M36" in The Big Lebowski (1998). 180 gram vinyl; printed inner sleeve; external obi.

Beat Records present on CD Da Uomo A Uomo (aka "Death Rides a Horse"), a Western film directed in 1967 by Giulio Petroni, with a screenplay by Luciano Vincenzoni, photography by Carlo Carlini, editing by Eraldo Da Roma, music by Ennio Morricone and a cast including Lee Van Cleef, John Phillip Law, Luigi Pistilli, Anthony Dawson, Mario Brega, José Torres. Ennio Morricone perfectly managed to describe all the emotions of Bill's revenge against those who massacred his family by creating a recurring main theme in an aggressive ride for guitars and rhythm section, complete with violent sounds and the accompaniment of the choir of Cantori Moderni, which plays a very important role in this soundtrack. This motif is alternated with suspense music almost bordering a Giallo sound, while the choir returns in a sacred theme, a gospel-like tune with beat arrangement used often throughout the soundtrack and a melancholic Latin flamenco with castanets and chorus. Representing one of Ennio Morricone's most iconic scores for the Western genre, this new CD reissue incorporates the mono masters from the original recording sessions as well as the surviving stereo mixes. Mastering and liner notes by Claudio Fuiano, graphic layout by Daniele De Gemini. Includes 12-page booklet.
