THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY

As we approach the end of 2020, soundtrack labels are working overtime to put out some great archival score presentations.

good the bad the ugly

In the spring of 2004, my junior year of high school, I enrolled in an elective that was split between Theatre Arts one semester and Analyzing Cinema the next.

Cherry Red's Él Records label is going 'round the world with a pair of recent releases.  Morricone Pops focuses on an oft-overlooked part of Italian composer Ennio Morricone's ouevre:  that of his early sixties arrangements not just for film, but also for pop singers.  Él also turns its attention to a favorite country, Brazil, for Sambou, Sambou, a collection of two albums of tunes by composer-pianist Joao Donato.
