Chicago in the 30s:
Two jobless big friends, Sonny, a Karate expert (Gemma), and
Charlie, a wrestling champion (Spencer), join up the racket's
underworld, but being good-natured, they soon line up with
the side of the victims against the people who are extorting
money from them.
In 1973 RCA had issued a 45 rpm single which was then re-issued
in Germany with the title Auch Die Engel Essen Bohnen.
On side A the single contained Angels And Beans in the original
version of the main titles as performed by Kathy & Gulliver,
whereas on side B a theme unrelated to the film was included.
As the master tapes of the original recording sessions were
thought to be lost completely till now, just a short time
ago this present CD project was considered to be an absolutely
unthinkable thing.
By luck we could discover a master tape in stereo and in very
good condition which had been assembled for an album with
twelve tracks (about half an hour), but which never saw the
light at the time of the film's release.
The De Angelis brothers reprise the main theme by arranging
it both in vocal and instrumental versions and alternating
them with delicious '30s style music pieces (Foxtrot, Tango,
Charleston, band music for the Salvation Army).
This record also represents the very first official CD re-issue
of Angels And Beans - film version (wheras on the De Angelis
bros. compilation albums only the cover version performed
by Oliver Onions had been issued). |
