Ennio Morricone -- I Film Della Violenza

Landed a near mint vinyl copy of the two platter Morricone comp, I Film Della Violenza, last week. Been checking it out the past couple of days.

I'd kinda been in a rock mood lately, so I was surprised how good this sounded to me. The vinyl is in excellent shape and sounds fantastic on a Technics 1200 turntable (old skool Stanton 500 cartridge -- nothing fancy) through my buggy Yamaha AV receiver and Bose 2.2 Series II speakers. Something about that Euro vinyl.

The gatefold set also came with a cool b&w booklet -- in Italian -- with synopses of all the films this compilation drew from. Lots of pix including posters and lobby cards.

I was surprised that I actually didn't have a lot of the material here. Some of it just sounds so awesome after listening to it on my iPod. The recent vinyl resurgance has unearthed some classic discs. In a way, I hope this never gets re-issued -- but I'll definitely put it on for ya when you're over at mi casa.
