NEAR MINT - UNSEALED - DIGIPAK HAS WEAR AND TEAR - ONLY ONE AVAILABLE
Fin de Siècle Media proudly present the CD premiere of Pino Donaggio's score
for CORRUZIONE AL PALAZZO DI GIUSTIZIA (CORRUPTION IN THE HALLS OF JUSTICE,
SMILING MANIACS), an intense tale of corruption made in 1974 starring Franco
Nero and directed by Marcello Aliprandi. Donaggio's score is in places a
fairly low key work that relies on taught and suspense-filled cues which
match the mood and atmosphere of the motion picture perfectly. But there is
also a melodic, poignant and delicate side to the score which manifests
itself during the soundtrack in varying guises and instrumentations.
Donaggio, perhaps best known for DON'T LOOK NOW and CARRIE, has composed an
admirable score that not only suits the motion picture for which it was
written, but also manages to remain an entertaining work away from the
images for which it was intended - a true work of originality and merit.
Originally released on vinyl by Carosello Records in 1975, it's an extremely
rare album which finally will be available again - carefully restored from
the LP master and presented in a 6-page digipak with original artwork, film
stills and liner notes by John Mansell. 16 tracks.
