The Four Flies release just pops!
I take it that those pops are not pops & crackles from the vinyl. 
Thanks for the info on the additional cues, though.
Glad to see that purple monkey didn't lose his job & is still washing away.

The SICILIA episode will no doubt be worth it too.
The "Sicilia" episode has indeed very beautiful music and I can recommend it very much to you. It is different from "Emilia Romagna e Marche" in that the music is more pastoral with many melancholy and memorable guitar and flute solos. But of course that Piccioni style is immediately recognizable which he would later further develop for example in CRISTO SI È FERMATO A EBOLI or TRE FRATELLI.
As you can see from the track listing, the CD will have about 18 minutes from "Sicilia" (track 17-21) and a bit more than 45 minutes from "Emila Romagna e Marche" (track 1-16).
In the two episodes themselves newly composed music often alternates with short cues taken from earlier Piccioni scores also owned by CAM (for example SENILITÀ, I DOLCI INGANNI or MINNESOTA CLAY). All this stock music will of course not be on this Beat CD. But it means that much more music had been composed for "Emilia Romagna e Marche" than what can be heard in the episode itself which has a duration of 43 minutes.
I suppose that in the "Sicilia" episode mostly excerpts of those five longer tracks on the CD with altogether 18 minutes can be heard (besides the stock music which has been used there ).

but I do like Il Mondo Di Notte more than La Notte Brava.
Either way we slice them, they are both keepers. We are lucky to have both on discs.

Very interesting thanks for all your input Stefan anything new in the pipeline from Lavagnino on the way from Alhambra or anything else to be coming soon from Saimel hopefully they have had some reply's from Cam/Sugar.
Unfortunately, I don´t think that the situation for Saimel has improved and I have got no news about it from Juan Angel during the last weeks anymore.
However, I can tell you that our next Lavagnino CD on Alhambra is indeed in the works and will probably be released in July or August - I have long finished my liner notes and we have all the tracks from the tapes and the track listing, but it still depends on the mastering and the booklet artwork which should both be ready during the next few weeks. It will be a peplum score from the early 60s with almost 50 minutes in stereo which has never been on LP or CD before. And we have also added a few tracks from another mid-60s adventure score as a bonus.

Thanks Stefan exciting news, I think it will be Lavagnino, but maybe it's Piccioni?
No, both scores on the Alhambra CD (peplum/adventure) will of course be by Lavagnino. There are really only a few tracks with about 8 minutes of music from that mid-60s adventure score which have been preserved on a master tape at all so that we will put them as a bonus at the end of the CD. The main attraction however will be the peplum score.

Does 'adventure' exclude the EuroSpy genre? Just wondering if we can expect these Lavagnino bonus tracks to be in a Superseven chiama Cairo vein or a Samoa mode?

It doesn´t come from the EuroSpy genre and the main theme is more in the KALI YUG mode. Besides that main theme there are two waltzes which get played during a ball sequence in the movie.

I've just received 'L'Italia vista dal cielo' an absolutely brilliant soundtrack !
I cannot recommend it highly enough (but then what do I know ?)
Hey, Leo, have you ever gotten the Saimel CD on L'Italia vista dal cielo?
I like this one a lot, so I plan to get the new Beat CD sometime this year.
Also, the new Beat/CF CD pairing 2 Ortolani soundtracks looks to be worthwhile as well ...

Okay, for people some it mind sound a trifle "monothematic"but with such a beautiful main theme...who cares ?
I expect most of us collectors of Italian soundtracks have already come to terms with monothematic scores and repetitious cues. These should no longer be obstacles for us 'seasoned' fossils.

I can tell you that the situation at Saimel has indeed improved in the meantime and we will announce a new CD with an older Italian score from the Sugar/CAM vaults very soon. So stay tuned.

Great! Is it Lavagnino?
No, it won´t be Lavagnino. The Lavagnino CD will come from Alhambra - hopefully end of August/early September.
On Saimel we will release a score from a historical adventure movie of the late 50s by another composer. It will be a very long CD with about 77 minutes of music.
