Thanks for the samples, John.
It sounds lovely, & I hope someone is able to locate the score & give it a good release.
Beat, Digitmovies, Quartet to the rescue, maybe?
There was another Lavagnino score that was released by Quartet Records a few years ago, Historia De Una Chica Sola. A beautiful score, lush & romantic - for the life of me I'll never know why this score didn't catch on in a big way with collectors of this style of music. It's currently selling on SAE for $3.95, they're practically giving it away at that price. It only had a run of 500 copies, yet it looks like it's been a poor seller. A shame really.

Thanks for the update Zardoz! I didn't do it because my memory bank has no tellers. They all went on strike while I was still in the womb. (I am ecstatic about the CD coming out! Just wonderful!)

While the master tapes for Lavagnino's Messalina are, I think, lost, the film itself is not.
Messalina arrives on Blu ray.
I didn't expect an Italian production to be on TWILIGHT TIME, but I'm grateful that a print has been made available for home video.

The score to Lavagnino's Messalina Venere Imperatrice (1960) is not lost and has been released.
But is that Messalina (1951) which was scored by Renzo Rossellini? Sorry I can't tell just from the cover.
You are totally mixing things up here.
Lavagnino´s MESSALINA - a remake of the 1951 movie which had been scored by Renzo Rossellini - has never been released on LP or CD. The rights owner was CAM, but unfortunately the master tapes don´t exist anymore. I suppose that they have been lost at some time during the 80s as the title had still been part of a CAM poll in the Belgian Soundtrack Magazine during the early 80s. But nowadays Sugar has no tapes of this title. So there is no chance for a CD release.
MESSALINA VENERE IMPERATRICE from 1960 has nothing to do with the 1962 movie VENERE IMPERIALE which starred Gina Lollobrigida and has of course also music by Lavagnino.
