Big news from Beat Records in Italy: They’ve begun a series of expanded CD reis­sues of Nico Fidenco’s sound­tracks for the infa­mous Black Emanuelle films.  These films were main­stays of late-night cable pro­gram­ming dur­ing the 1980’s and Fidenco’s eclec­tic jazz/lounge/disco sound­tracks were an impor­tant sec­ondary part of their charm.  This jumbo reis­sue of the first film’s sound­track more than dou­bles the track­list­ing and is lim­ited to only 1000 copies so don’t wait around for it.  Read on for a descrip­tion and more info on Beat’s plans for the remain­der of the Emanuelle sound­track series…

BLACK EMANUELLE Expanded Soundtrack CD/Composed by Nico Fidenco

We are proud to announce the first CD of a very spe­cial col­lec­tion. Black Emanuelle is the first CD in a series that will com­plete a very spe­cial col­lec­tion of 6 orig­i­nal sound­tracks from the Black Emanuelle series, all com­posed by Nico Fidenco.  The sev­enth release will fea­ture a doc­u­men­tary on the genre, bonus mate­r­ial and a hard paper box that will keep all of your 7 digi­pack CDs together.

Black Emanuelle is a nice score by Maestro Nico Fidenco, one of the most impor­tant com­posers of Italian pop and a suc­cess­ful sound­track com­poser, as well. This score has a 70’s fla­vor and was com­posed and orches­trated by Fidenco using orches­tra and voice (Edda Dell’Orso). It has a rhythm that is some­times afro, other times more ener­gic and funky.  You won’t want to miss out on this reis­sue if you are a fan of that period, if you like good music and, of course, if are still in love with the allur­ing sto­ries that see the super-cult actress Laura Gemser as a beau­ti­ful reporter!
The CD comes in a lim­ited edi­tion Digipak, num­bered from 0001 to 1000 (the num­ber is inside the box, in the sec­ond page). Original art­work, film stills com­plete the prod­ucts along with a 24x36 cm poster that fea­tures liner notes writ­ten by the music critic Fabio Babini.
