We are releasing the ?rst complete edition CD of the OST by Carlo Rustichelli for the giallo comedy film “The Almost Perfect Crime” (original title: “Delitto Quasi Perfetto”).

Carlo Rustichelli (December 25, 1916 Carpi - November 13, 2004 Rome) wrote a mysterious score of pure suspense with strings and organ pieces. The author alternates gloomy atmospheres with wild surf lounge-style music and a recurring melody with trumpets and orchestra, which we might think of as a “cousin” to the movie “Blood and Black Lace” (“Sei donne per l’assissino”) directed by Mario Bava in 1964. This OST also contains the hit song “E se domani” ("And if tomorrow") by G. Calabrese and C.A. Rossi in an instrumental jazz-blues club version beautifully arranged by Rustichelli. C.A.M. previously released a single (AMP 1) with two tracks specially assembled by the author using various takes. For our full-length CD (55:56 min), we were able to access the mono master tapes from the original recording session, with Bruno Nicolai as conductor. This is another CD which can be added to the ever-growing discography of the venerated Maestro Carlo Rustichelli.
