The first release in the Crime Combo series, in collaboration with the BEAT Records Company and for the fisrt time on vinyl, is the soundtrack to the Italian “polizziottesco” movie “Italia A Mano Armata”. The movie was directed in 1976 by Franco Martinelli.
The soundtrack is an excellent strength test by maestro composer Franco Micalizzi that for this movie has created a varied and passionate score, tapping the wind sections into an irresistible seventies funk crescendo and alternating melodic themes. The soundtrack features the track “The No-Peace Pursuit” that was later on selected by Quentin Tarantino for his Grindhouse Movie “Death Proof”. If you love 70ies crime soundtracks, this is a must for your collection!
The soundtrack is released in a hand numbered 500 copies limited edition 180 gr vinyl in gatefold sleeve including the original cinema poster of the movie.
