Vampyros Lesbos

Today I present the wild and wacky world of Jess Franco. Back in 1995 a German label known as Lucertola made a bit of a splash when they released 3 FILMS BY JESS FRANCO (Lucertola Media LMCD 004). This very limited (only 500 copies) CD proved to be immensely popular. Around this same time Jess Franco's movie VAMPYROS LESBOS (1970) had gotten a nicely remastered VHS release in the UK. This VHS release included not only the movie of course but also a short "video" at the end featuring one of the songs from the movie (The Lions And The Cucumber). Apparently this was released in the UK as a 'single' and did rather well. I think that is when the Lucertola CD came out although I'm not sure if it came out beforehand or not. I'm going by memory here. All I know for sure is that everyone and his brother wanted this CD but there were only 500 copies. Now Lucertola was, as far as I know, a legit label although I believe they are no longer in business and/or no longer releasing new material. However this particular release was considered an "unofficial" or "bootleg" release. As a result more were not forthcoming.

Then another German label called Crippled Dick Hot Wax released their version on LP and CD which they called VAMPYROS LESBOS SEXADELIC DANCE PARTY but alas it did not include ALL of the music heard on the previous Lucertola CD release. However the CD was easy to come by and there was even an official US release by a label called Motel Records (this is the CD that I have and is exactly the same as the Crippled Dick Hot Wax German release). I should point out that in 2006 another release of this came out promising to be "remastered" and supposedly including 3 bonus tracks. I do not have nor have I heard this version with my own ears but the other earlier releases sound pretty darn awesome to my ears so I'm not sure how much better a remastering could make 'em (and I suspect such claims to be marketing hype but I can't say for sure as I don't have this 2006 release).

By the way I should add that VAMPYROS LESBOS finally got a very nice DVD release in the US by Synapse Films and then yet another DVD release later on by Image Entertainment so be sure to check it out!

The 3 FILMS BY JESS FRANCO is a CD rip that I found on-line. Whoever did it knew what they were doing. It is a proper EAC CD Rip complete with the EAC made LOG file and CUE Sheet file (and came in FLAC format). It also comes with complete CD artwork scans. The MP3 conversion was done using my usual methods and includes all the other files as well (the LOG and CUE and M3U and artwork scans). VAMPYROS LESBOS is my own CD Rip. As per my usual methods the CD was ripped with EAC to the FLAC format and includes the EAC made LOG file and CUE Sheet file. I also made a M3U PlayList file and provide high quality artwork scans (I did the front and back of the CD cover).

Murder to the Tune of the Seven Black Notes (1977) aka Sette Note In Nero

Today I present the score to Lucio Fulci's SETTE NOTE IN NERO (1977). This one is known under a variety of other titles including: Murder To The Tune Of Seven Black Notes (my personal favorite), Seven Notes In Black (I believe the literal English translation) and The Psychic (the title used for the original US release). The score is by Bixio-Frizzi-Tempera (three musicians who often worked together and yes the Frizzi in there is Fabio Frizzi). The CD was released by Digitmovies (Catalog Code: CDDM062) in 2006.

This is a giallo by Lucio Fulci which he made prior to his gore drenched zombie years so it might disappoint some fans but it's still a fine film and has some grizzly moments. I'm a big fan (obviously) of Mr. Fulci and I have seen this film but only once and it was a long time ago. I need to see it again. I don't remember liking it as much as his earlier giallo efforts nor does this giallo outshine other, better films in the genre but it is a fine effort nonetheless and a good film. The stand out here is the score though so I hope you enjoy it. It really does help to "make" the film. Oh and if you didn't know already a key track from the score was used by Tarantino in his film KILL BILL VOL. 1

Track List:

01. Sucidio (Prologo) (01:36)
02. With You (Titoli) (04:15)

La Cripta E L'Incubo aka Crypt Of The Vampire

Today I present the score to LA CRIPTA E L'INCUBO (1963) by Carlo Savina. This film is known under a wide variety of titles but most know it as CRYPT OF THE VAMPIRE. The CD was released by Digitmovies (Catalog Code: CDDM182) back in March of 2011.

I've never seen this movie. I do know it's an Italian gothic horror film that is loosely based on Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's famous novella "Carmilla"

There was a DVD release back in 2006 that is still available and rather inexpensive. I'll have to pick it up one of these days.

I've only had a chance to listen to the CD once (I'm on my second listen right now as I type this up) so I'm not sure how to explain it other than it reminds me of the music from other Italian gothic horror films like Bava's BLACK SUNDAY etc. and while it is very different from the giallo scores that came later I am still enjoying it very much. 

Track List:

01. La maledizione di Karlstein (Titoli) (01:49)

Laure aka Forever Emmanuelle

Today I present the score LAURE (1975) aka Forever Emmanuelle. The score is by Franco Micalizzi. The CD was released by Digitmovies (Catalog Code: CDDM133) in 2009.

I've never actually seen this movie although I recently downloaded a nice DVD rip via a bit torrent site so I plan on it but I can tell you that this is a great score and to date I think this is my favorite by composer Micalizzi. It sort of has a funky jazzy lounge like sound to it. Very mellow and relaxing but not boring in the least. Give it a try!

Just a quick update

Well I got back on track a while back after a long spell of nothing and then ... again ... nothing.

Sorry about that!

I have a lot of stuff I want to post and so I just want to give a heads up that I'm going to try to get more regular here with my posts ... again ... and hopefully this time I'll stick to it.

I also want to point out that I've added a Pay Pal Donate button. Granted this blog costs me nothing but money is tight these days and I just can't buy new scores/soundtracks as I would like. So if you want to donate I can promise that the money will go towards buying new stuff which I will then post here.

I'm getting a bunch of stuff ready to upload right now so keep your eye on this space. I'll be adding this stuff over the next few days and I'll be posting in general on a regular basis (knock on wood).

Cheers and enjoy!

Danger: Diabolik

Today I present a very rare CD to a very rare score. The film is Mario Bava's DANGER: DIABOLIK (1967) and the score is by Ennio Morricone. The CD was released in 2001 (Pallottola Foro OTHR-1968) and while it is a pressed CD it is technically a bootleg and not an officially sanctioned release. In fact this bootleg was subsequently bootlegged by another company. Go figure LOL

In terms of sound quality ... it's not bad but it's not great. Basically the master tapes are supposedly lost (although Morricone has said that if anyone can find them they are welcome to release the score). My understanding is that the score (as presented here) is mostly lifted from the movie itself. This does mean that there are some sound effects etc. mixed in with the music. Despite that the sound quality is pretty decent and the sound effects are minimal. Oh and there are a couple of tracks (at the end) that came from the only official release (a 45 release that came out when the movie did).

In short this is the best that we have and probably will be the best that we ever get ... unless the master tapes are ever found (at least one producer of Italian soundtracks has hinted that he has it although some believe that to be BS ... also some suspect that Morricone himself has the master tapes and is purposefully sitting on it). I suppose time will tell. Thankfully this CD is actually fairly well done and damn enjoyable.

Track List:

01. Deep Down (Main Title English) (03:10)

Chi Sei? aka Beyond The Door

Today I present you with the Soundtrack to CHI SEI? (1974) aka BEYOND THE DOOR. This is an Italian rip-off of William Friedkin's THE EXORCIST (1973) yet it manages to be a very fun movie and the score, by Franco Micalizzi, is a lot of fun itself.

Now I've only seen the film once (and that was a long while ago) but the music, while cool as shit, really doesn't fit the movie very well. However as a listening experience the soundtrack is a lot of fun. It has a jazzy funky vibe to it. For a sample CLICK HERE to see a You Tube video of the main theme.

As far as I could tell this score only ever got a singular (and now long out-of-print) CD release on some Japanese label back in 2002. Luckily a friend of mine actually bought it when it came out and allowed me to rip it. Aren't friends great?

As per my usual methods the CD was ripped with EAC to the FLAC format and includes the EAC made LOG file and CUE Sheet file. I also made a M3U PlayList file and give you a high quality scan of the Japanese CD Cover. I also found an alternative "CD Cover" from a digital only release of the score (which can be ordered through iTunes or Amazon.com etc.)
In the past I've always used foobar2000 to do the MP3 conversion but lately I've been using this really neat program called 'Easy CD-DA Extractor' and that was used here to create the MP3 files from the FLAC files. The MP3 version also includes the EAC made LOG & CUE Sheet files as well as all the artwork options.

Oh and I'll do my best not to wait another year before the next update!
