Still here Zardoz and am eagerly awaiting "L'Assassino"! The loungey sound is my favorite, but Piccioni's early 60s "jazzy" scores run a close second. From the sound samples on the Quartet website, it sounds like there is a lot of variety in this release. The only track I can find in my collection from this film is on a CAM compilation, "Jazz In The Movies - Cinecittà" (CAMJ 7751-2).
One of Piccioni's early 60s scores that I would love to see on disc is 1963's "Il Diavolo" ("To Bed Or Not To Bed"), but I seem to remember reading that one is in RCA's vault and not likely to see light of day. (Maybe I even read that earlier in this 27-page thread?) I have the ViViMusica release "Piero Piccioni Film Music" (VCDS 7003) which has 7 tracks from the film, though it doesn't seem like any special effort was taken in the mastering for the release. I also have the original "To Bed Or Not To Bed" mono LP (London Records - M-76005) which I recorded onto CD-R for easy listening.
Though looking at Discogs just now, I'm seeing there was originally an LP release of "Il Diavolo" on CAM??? If this one is in the works, that would be fantastic.

IL DIAVOLO is owned neither by RCA nor by CAM, but by Radiofilmusica/Laurentiis (as well as for example IL BOOM from the same year). So even though there was an LP on the CAM label in 1963, this means that the score is not a part of the CAM catalogue and in addition no tapes exist there at all. And as Radiofilmusica - just remember what happened with Morricone´s ORCA a few months ago - usually doesn´t collaborate with the currently active Italian soundtrack labels, there is not much hope at the moment for a CD release of this score.
Besides L´ASSASSINO, also Piccioni´s 1969 comedy score TOH, È MORTA LA NONNA from Sugar´s CAM catalogue list has long been reserved by someone - so this might be one of the next Piccioni releases in the future and it will probably come from Digitmovies, Beat or even from Quartet.
We will certainly release another Piccioni score from around 1960 on Saimel during the next few months, but I can´t give any exact release date yet.

Camille 2000 is a favourite that consists of guitars, organs, drums, bass, Etc, quite psychedelic in sound, its Italian magic from Piccioni, a nice score if you like funky music, sexy style.
Camille 2000 was released recently on vinyl, remastered from the original master tapes.
There is supposed to be a CD release coming soon, maybe later this year, not sure yet which label will do it.

Thank you for the clarification, Stefan, even if it leads to the same unhappy conclusion -- CD release of "Il Diavolo" seems unlikely. I'm glad to at least have a nice, clean copy of the original LP.
Thanks also for the tip that "Toh, è Morta La Nonna" has been reserved and might be on someone's release schedule. I had not heard of this one, but found some samples on youtube (the entire movie, actually), and from what I could hear it sounds in line with the other great loungey Piccionis of the late '60's.

"Camille" was pretty much my introduction to the great Piccioni, particularly his "funky, sexy style."  Before the Internet age, my exposure to his works here in the U.S. midwest was pretty much limited to the Mainstream LP of "The Tenth Victim," which is also a perennial favorite.
There are a handful of his releases that are evocative of the "Camille" sound, but I'll just mention one because I almost missed it -- "Senza Via d'Uscita," (1970) which is included on the Saimel CD of "Ciao Gulliver." Very much worth checking out if you are a fan of "Camille."

give Il SESSO DELLA STREGA by Daniele Pattuchi a listen.
I blind bought Il Sesso della Strega because it is a horror item and also because this album seems to be unavailable/out-of-stock more rapidly than usual. SAE no longer carries this title and it has been out of Dusty Groove's stock since their initial posting of it in their catalog. It's sold out @ Intrada but remains on their new releases listing.
I agree with 'slint' that Patucchi's score is more aligned into the Morricone/Nicolai mold than Piccioni's and Sesso/Strega sounds rather like early 1970s Cipriani giallo blended with Morricone's (much later) La sindrome di Stendhal.

Still around as well Zardoz trying to keep on top of things would hate to miss out on L'Assassino going to have to wait awhile before I can order it.
Uh oh, wayoutwest, L'assassino just disappeared from Intrada's catalog.
Not to worry, though, as Quartet's site does not indicate any 'sold out' status (yet...).

Did the purple monkey take a holiday break from dishwashing and get to listen to L'assassino?
What are your thoughts on this one?
Of all the Piccioni soundtracks I own thus far (probably 95+ titles), L'assassino is the one whose program resembles a Henry Mancini album.
Folks who like The Pink Panther series would probably be receptive toward Piccioni's L'assassino and I hope its non-Hollywood origins won't deter such folks from sampling/buying it.

Ha! Still waiting to receive L'Assassino -- I put my order in at Screen Archives a few weeks ago, and it looks like it is now in stock there, but it may be that another title in my order has held up shipping. Really looking forward to this one, and thankful for Quartet's commitment to releasing these titles on CD, even in a limited run.
