Anybody out there remember Angelo Francisco Lavagnino's score for "Five Branded Women"?
It was put out on a limited edition L.P. (1,000 units) that I'm still trying to locate.

I saw the movie circa 1965 theatrically when I was a kid in Tripoli, Libya at the only theater that showed American and British movies- that was a long time ago and I don't remember the score at all.

I had the LP and I think I reviewed it for Soundtrack magazine. Not a bad score as I recall but unfortunately I no longer have the record.

CAM has nothing at all to do with this score, because the music publisher was Cometa. So Cometa who have just now released for example Morricone's FORZA ITALIA on their new CD label, would be the ones who should put it out on CD. However, I doubt that they still have the original mastertapes from 1960 - maybe the LP album master, but probably not more. And also doubtful is if Cometa will indeed release this score on CD, because almost all of their other LP releases were scores from the 70s. JOVANKA (FIVE BRANDED WOMEN) was the oldest score they ever did at that time.
I can also tell you that the composer's copy of the complete mastertape is in the Lavagnino estate in Gavi. So if Cometa will not release this fine Lavagnino score on CD themselves in the near future, you can be sure that we in Germany will do it in our Lavagnino CD series on the Alhambra label maybe next year with the support of the composer's daughters. Just in the same vein as we did Lavagnino's L'IMPERO DEL SOLE and as we do the soon upcoming CONTINENTE PERDUTO (LOST CONTINENT) CD.

Stefan, any guestimate when CONTINENTE PERDUTO will be out?
Maybe end of March, but I think that early April will be more likely.

In the meantime the CD has completely disappeared from the Cometa website after months of announcement which is more than strange:

I don't know what happened, but maybe they got into problems with the Radiofilmusica publishing company who are the actual rights owners of the score?
