Crystal white vinyl. The film is based upon books written by Paolo Villaggio and narrates the misadventures of accountant Ugo Fantozzi, and his vicissitudes on his workplace and private life. It builds a unique communicative style to which generations of Italian people are fond. The soundtrack composed by Fabio Frizzi, with the collaboration of musicians Vince Tempera and Franco Bixio, is based upon the cue "La Ballata di Fantozzi," a cult track that literally everybody in Italy could whistle by memory, just to witness the immense cultural heritage of this cinematic franchise. This edition pays homage to the 50th year of life of Beat's favorite accountant and, aside the aforementioned cue features other cult tracks such as "Impiegatango," the New Year's Eve party music, the themes describing Fantozzi's "love affair" with Mrs. Silvani, music describing hallucinations of Fantozzi and Filini, the background music in the Japanese restaurant and alternate versions of "La ballata di Fantozzi." A release that marks an important appointment for all film music and Fantozzi lovers now available in a limited edition on crystal white LP, cover featuring the logo of the movie and Paolo Villaggio silhouette embossed, mastering by Claudio Fuiano, graphic layout by Daniele De Gemini featuring on the cover the crucifixion scene in the canteen room and, on the back, a lobby card reproduction displaying an epic scene of the football match "married vs singles."

Beat Records presents for the first time on CD the OST by Riz Ortolani for the dramatic comedy Porca Vacca, directed in 1982 by Pasquale Festa Campanile. At the time of the film's release, nothing came of this beautiful soundtrack by Riz Ortolani. Thanks to the stereo master tapes of the original sessions, it was possible to release the complete score for the first time. Riz Ortolani composed and conducted an OST introduced by a rhythmic comic theme which is reprised in a slow version with accordion. After a cheerful introduction, the orchestra describes the historical period of World War I, and the military-flavored theme for trumpet and strings and is reprised by the harmonica. The harmonica, guitar, piano and rhythm section perform a folk-flavored motif perfect for the sad atmosphere of those distant days then reprised for harmonica alone. Dissonant passages for strings create a tense and macabre atmosphere, (and the harsh conditions of the war are underlined by dramatic passages with a little space dedicated for a love theme). As a special surprise for fans of the legendary Renato Pozzetto, Beat also includes the popular songs of the period in which the story is set, performed by Pozzetto and choir as they are heard in the film, all arranged and conducted by M°Ortolani. With a duration of 54:59, this CD can finally be added to your collection of works by the great composer.

Beat Records Company presents the expanded version of the original motion picture soundtrack of the movies L'Anticristo (Alberto De Martino 1973), featuring the music by Ennio Morricone and Bruno Nicolai, and Sepolta Viva (Aldo Lado, 1974) by Ennio Morricone. This album, very popular among the two composers' fans, offers two OSTs realized for excellent movies. The first, on the Excorcist (William Friedkin, 1973) trail, revisits the theme of demonic possession through the Italian cultural filter while the second, based on the homonymous novel by Marie Eugénie Saffray, is a nice historical drama, much in fashion in the early '70s. The CD is now available again in the classic CR series as a jewel case release featuring a 12-page booklet filled with Fabio Babini's liner notes and Daniele De Gemini's artwork, with mastering by Enrico De Gemini. On the cover is the original artwork, realized by Sandro Symeoni, commissioned by Franco De Gemini.

Beat Records is relaunching on the market the classic Western OST by Nora Orlandi and Robby Poitevin for the film La morte non conta i dollari (aka Death at Owell Rock), directed in 1967 by Riccardo Freda (under the pseudonym George Lincoln), with a screenplay by Giuseppe Masini and Freda. At the time of the film's release, not a single note from the score was released, and it wasn't until 2007 that GDM Music issued the complete original soundtrack on CD for the very first time. The title has been absent from the market for many years, so this reissue with improved sound will make all Spaghetti Western fans around the world happy. Nora Orlandi and Robby Poitevin composed an orchestral score introduced by the "Titoli di testa," a rhythmic adventurous theme with a nostalgic flavor for trumpet, orchestra and choir. The central musical motif is a recurring love theme with choir accompaniment, with the addition of the harmonica as well as a version sung by Raoul. The entire dramatic side of the story is underlined by music of suspense and mystery. Classical pieces with a religious flavor are performed on organ and guitar, plus there is some Latin American folk music and a square dance. Nora Orlandi performs an evocative ancient ballad that is reprised with wordless vocals. This CD comes from the mono masters of the original sessions, plus six rare stereo bonus tracks that were found on another master, perhaps conceived for a record that never saw the light of day in 1967.

Beat Records re-releases on CD the OSTs by Ennio Morricone for the romantic comedy films Idoli controluce and E la donna creo' l'uomo (aka Volles Herz und leere Taschen). In this score, Morricone alternates pleasant, lounge-flavored tunes ("Sophisticated boy," "Relax in solitudine," "Rendez-vous") with romantic themes ("Le meno importanti," "Le cose più important"). This CD reissue, lasting 51:04, includes for the first time the Baroque-flavored piece "Villa Madama," which was featured as the background music at a house party and had only previously been released on an Italian promo library vinyl and Japanese CD compilation. For this Italian-German co-production, Ennio Morricone composed a pleasant lounge-type score that didn't see the light of day on the soundtrack market at the time. It wasn't until 2005 that GDM Music issued the music from this film on CD (GDM 2058), along with selections from Idoli controluce, with the approval of Maestro Morricone. A dance tune is introduced in the opening credits (repeated in the finale with Alessandroni's whistle), alternating with exotic rhythms ("Exoticoerotico") and a romantic orchestral theme ("Dawn in the park"). The leitmotif is arranged in bossa nova ("Donnabossa"), classical ("E la donna creò l'uomo"), fast version ("Inseguendo lei"), for classical guitar and orchestra ("Dolcemente donna"), with sax ("Sexydonna"), suspended and sweetly magical ("Aspettando lei"), and a brilliant and even faster version ("Correndo verso lei"). Mastering and liner notes by Claudio Fuiano, graphic layout by Daniele De Gemini.

RELEASE DATE: 7/11/2025
Beat Records reissues on CD the OST by Luciano Michelini for the dramatic film Anna, quel particolare piacere (aka Anna: The Pleasure, the Torment and Secrets of a Call Girl), directed in 1973 by Giuliano Carmineo with screenplay by Sauro Scavolini, Francesco Miliazia, and Ernesto Gastaldi, photography by Marcello Masciocchi, editing by Eugenio Alabiso, music by Luciano Michelini, production by Dania CC Champion, distribution by Interfilm, and starring Edwige Fenech, Corrado Pani, Richard Conte, Antonio Casale, Bruno Corazzari, Corrado Gaipa, Ettore Manni, Umberto Raho, John Richardson, and Laura Bonaparte. In February 1974, RCA released a promotional 33 rpm record (Original Cast SP 8049) with 14 tracks in stereo selected by Maestro Michelini himself. Luciano Michelini is no stranger to the noir and detective genre, having set to music classics such as La polizia accusa: il servizio segreto uccide, La città gioca d'azzardo, and Morte sospetta di una minorenne. In fact, this fabulous soundtrack contains stylistic variations that alternate between American Blaxploitation soundtracks and crime film scores. The criminal reality in which Anna finds herself trapped is illustrated by rhythmic themes where the wind instruments are the real protagonists and by orchestral themes of suspense. The sentimental side of the story is underlined by a recurring love theme for piano and orchestra where the crystal voice of the divine Edda Dell'Orso intervenes. Relaxing, Latin-flavored songs add a little pop flavor to this excellent soundtrack. Mastering and liner notes by Claudio Fuiano, graphic layout by Daniele De Gemini.
