...E Poi Lo Chiamarono Il Magnifico

LP version. Digitmovies present the original soundtrack for the mythical de Angelis brothers for the movie… E Poi Lo Chiamarono Il Magnifico (Man of the East), originally released in 1972. After Franco Micalizzi had written the music for the first trinity movie and Guido and Maurizio de Angelis for it’s sequel, the two musician brothers were recruited again to write a new original score that was issued in those days on an LP with 12 tracks and also on a 45rpm single with two tracks. Digitmovies have searched for the original recording session master tapes which were recently rescued in very good condition and in full stereo: this gave the label the chance to add six bonus tracks not included in the original vinyl. A note for collectors and audiophiles: for this ultimate edition Digitmovies did not use the album master assembled in 1972, but they were able to recreate the original album mock-up’s sequence/editing with all the takes taken directly from first generation stereo session tapes. And this new version has a really improved sound quality. The main theme is called “Don’t Lose Control”, a romantic-epic theme with country-pop flavor performed by Gene Roman and reprised as an instrumental version played by a large orchestra. The de Angelis brothers have succeeded in recreating the whole Western atmosphere by alternating classic Western-flavored themes with soft ones like the romantic love theme “Tema Di Candida” (Jesus Come To My Heart), a gospel with sacred flavor vocalized by the Nora Orlandi choir. Directed in 1972 by E.B. Clucher (real name Enzo Barboni) and starring Terence Hill, Gregory Walcott, Yanti Somer, Dominic Barto, Enzo Fiermonte, and Riccardo Pizzuti.
