Walter Rizzati's soundtrack to Italo Zingarelli's Io sto con gli ippopotami ("I'm for the Hippopotamus"). This album, dedicated to the memory of Italo Zingarelli, is presented on 180-gram colored vinyl. Mastering by Enrico De Gemini, graphic layout by Daniele De Gemini.
"Shot in Africa in the late '70s, Io sto con gli ippopotami (aka "I'm for the Hippopotamus"), is a movie that in my imagination is just like Italo: humorously menacing and bulky, protective, awesome and sweet, a description that also fits the mascot of this delicious film, the hippopotamus. In this movie we feel the presence of its producer/director's poetry, often handed down with great passion and cheerfulness through his cinema. It's a simple message of love for nature, respect for the weaker and the duty to intervene when they are subjected to abuse. Everything is presented with disarming simplicity, as powerful as it is beautiful. You must confess that you were moved when Terence Hill, toward the end of the movie, delights himself with his friend-of-a-thousand- adventures Bud Spencer by watching the flight of the animals from Mr. Ormond's boat to the wonderful notes of 'Freedom,' where [the] harmonica together with the melody infuses the scene with an almost maternal sweetness. Well, we are all in debt to this big guy for his kind message and the clean, sparkling, soft and amusing sincerity that dwells there, among the lines of his cinema, apparently devoted to simple entertainment but so wonderfully deep and full of feeling." -Beat Records

Beat Records presents this reissue on CD of the original soundtrack by Nora Orlandi for the classic Western Johnny Yuma, directed in 1966 by Romolo Guerrieri. At the time of the film's release, RCA released only a 45-rpm single with the two mono tracks "Johnny Yuma" and "That Silent Man," sung by The Wilder Brothers (John Ireson and Wayn Parham). In 1968, another single was released in Japan (where the film was a huge success) on the Victor SS-1741 label, featuring the song performed by The Wilder Brothers and the instrumental version on the B-side. This CD is a reissue of the long out-of-print CD issued in 2009. In addition to the tracks mixed in stereo, this CD contains the entire soundtrack taken from the mono masters of the original sessions, for a total duration of 74:49. Nora Orlandi composed an epic and dramatic score, conducted by the well-known Robby Poitevin. The main theme, "Johnny Yuma' (a country ballad sung by The Wilder Brothers), is introduced in the opening credits and reprised in the movie. The Wilder Brothers also perform the heroic song "That Silent Man." Exceptional soloists on this beautiful soundtrack include 4+4 by Nora Orlandi and the magnificent harmonica of Franco De Gemini. Mastering and liner notes by Claudio Fuiano, graphic layout by Daniele De Gemini.

Beat Records relaunches on the market the classic OST by Ennio Morricone for the Western film Le pistole non discutono, directed in 1964 by Mario Caiano and starring Rod Cameron, Ángel Aranda, Vivi Bach, Horst Frank, José Canalejas, Kay Fisher, Joseph Martin, Hans Nielsen, Dick Palmer, Judy Robbins, and Andrew Ray. For this film, Ennio Morricone composed the song "Lonesome Billy," a Western ballad with an American sound introduced by guitars and whistle with the voice of Pete Tevis (who also wrote the lyrics). Le pistole non discutono, a cavalcade theme for orchestra with horns alternated to dramatic orchestral passages such as "Gli indiani" and the percussive "Le pistole non discutono (#2)" with accompanying harmonica. This OST is also characterized by the burlesque motif "La ragazza e lo sceriffo" and Mexican mariachi music performed on solo guitar and also with female vocals. This CD, with a total duration of 41:45, was assembled using the mono masters of the original sessions, with the inclusion of the three stereo mixes that Maestro Morricone authorized for the previous edition released years ago. Mastering and liner notes by Claudio Fuiano, graphic layout by Daniele De Gemini.
