| description |
Digitmovies is glad to present a full stereo
de-luxe edition Cd of the complete Ost by Ennio Morricone for
the classic Italian western La banda J. & S. cronaca criminale
del Far West directed in 1972 by Sergio Corbucci and starring
Tomas Milian, Susan George and Telly Savalas.
The movie tells the story of a sheriff (Savalas) who wants to
track down and capture the bandit Jess Trigado (Milian) and
his girlfriend Sonny (George) who usually steel money from the
rich.
This manhunt has the beautiful background score by Academy winner
Ennio Morricone and stylistically his music for this Ost is
very close to the semi-pop sound of Vamos a matar companeros,
Che c'entriamo noi con la rivoluzione?, the two Provvidenza
movies, Il mio nome è nessuno, Un genio, due compari,
un pollo.
In this Ost, dramatic music is pratically missing and Ennio
Morricone puts in evidence the comic and romantic side of the
plot with a series of lovely themes, sometimes funny and brilliant
like Sonny (Tr. 1, Tr. 7), Wanted dead or alive (Tr. 2), The
saloon's girls (Tr. 5), sometimes melancholic and romantic like
J. & S. love (Tr. 3) and Sweet Susan (Tr. 6) splendidly
performed by great soloists like the choir of Cantori Moderni
di Alessandroni, Franco De Gemini playing the Harmonica, Alessandro
Alessandroni's whistle, Oscar Valdambrini playing the flugelhorn.
In October 1972 C.A.M. issued a 45 rpm single with the tracks
Sweet Susan (A side) and Sonny (B side).
The US Cerberus label issued in 1982 a LP featuring on the A
side five tracks from La banda J. & S. cronaca criminale
del Far West and on the B side selections from the OST of I
cannibali.
In 1992 six selections were released by C.A.M. for the first
time on Cd in its Soundtrack Enciclopedia series coupled with
selections from the Ost Le monachine and Professione figlio.
For this Cd we could use the stereo master tapes of the original
recording session kept in perfect conditions in the historic
vaults of C.A.M. that gave us the chance to discover long versions
of the themes J. & S. love (Tr. 3) and J. & S. Waltz
(Tr. 4).
Together with the single edit version of Sonny (tr. 7) we enclose
about total 7:53 of material previously unreleased on the original
33 rpm and Cd.
Our Cd has a total length of 30:19 only, but we used all we
could find on the stereo master tapes except short fragments
of Saloon piano by Chopin and a fragment of an off-key violin
solo.
We hope that Spaghetti Westerns fans around will be happy to
have in their private archives this de-luxe Cd exclusively dedicated
to this short, but nice Ost. |

| story |
Jed (Tomas Milian) is an unlikely hero in
this Italian western.
As thoroughly unlikeable a robber as ever walked the West,
he nonetheless robs from the rich and gives to the poor.
Not only is he a murderous, ill-tempered sort, he is bad-mannered,
too.
When Sonny (Susan George) decides he should be her man and
teach her how to be a proper outlaw, sparks fly.
