  • LP pressed on yellow vinyl
  • Premiere complete vinyl edition of Ennio Morricone cult score for Harvey Keitel and Johnny Rotten cop movie
  • Features the psychedelic, percussion-heavy and often ostinato-based cues that Morricone typically reserved for the steamy chaos of his crime-film scores

Coproduced between Italy, France and the U.S., and directed by longtime Morricone collaborator Roberto Faenza, the film stars Johnny Rotten (famous punk-star from the group Sex Pistols), Harvey Keitel and Nicole Garcia. The plot is about a pair of corrupt cops spending their illegal cash on an uptown New York City apartment.

Morricone’s score comes from the composer’s fertile period of poliziotteschi thrillers and his collaborations with Henri Verneuil in Belmondo’s French polars in the early 1980s. The music features the psychedelic, percussion-heavy and often ostinato-based cues that Morricone typically reserved for the steamy chaos of his crime-film scores.

General Music released the score on LP in France and Germany in 1983, and GDM on CD in 2002. This new edition contains the same program, produced by Claudio Fuiano and Dániel Winkler, rebuilt and remastered by Chris Malone from the first-generation stereo master tapes. The package includes a richly illustrated booklet with in-depth liner notes by Daniel Schweiger discussing the film and the score.
