PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

20 Pages booklet in Italian, English and Japanese languages - DIGIPACK deluxe box - High quality graphic layout Here we are, almost 30 years have passed and one of the most beautiful soundtracks of the 1970s returns to again give us proof of Maestro Armando Trovaioli's never-ending charm! Sesso matto , the cult movie directed by Dino Risi and with amazing performances by Laura Antonelli and Giancarlo Giannini, has a great soundtrack composed by our beloved Maestro. It is a masterpiece we wanted to release with extra-special care as a new Compact Disc. Here is the history: In 1973 Beat pressed the album of the score that had a nice, sexy cover (reproduced in this edition) with Laura Antonelli dressed (or undressed) as a nun. The music of the album was chosen by Maestro Trovaioli personally, and as often happens; he chose just a portion of the whole score recorded for the film. Time passed by and we arrived in the 1990s. At this time in Japan there exploded a "fever" for SESSO MATTO! Our friends from that distant nation seem to very much appreciate this score composed and recorded 20 years earlier. It grew into a real mania for Japanese music lovers! King International of Japan decided to re-release our original album as a CD and it was a great success.
The details of the story become problematic as we reach last year, 2006. For the occasion of our 40 years of activity here at Beat Records we felt obliged to confer a special tribute to this score: a Deluxe Expanded release.
The original mix tapes seemed to have disappeared from our archives, and so we had to recover the music from the multi-channel tapes (these are studio master elements in which the instruments are recorded on separated channels). It was required of us to again carefully mix these separate sounds into a single audio channel - a very complex task that required two months of very hard work, but the results are simply incredible! Beat Records Sound Engineer, Enrico De Gemini, performed a monumental task in restoring and remixing all the original instrumental sound elements and the results are more than 70 minutes of beautiful music arranged in the original score sequence, just as the music is heard in the film!
There are still more surprises: While restoring the music, one instrument at a time from the original tapes, Enrico discovered that in the track "Sessomatto" (Main Title with Edda Dell'Orso's vocalization), the channel on which Antonello Vannucchi's Hammond Organ was recorded was badly distorted by the neighbouring channel featuring the baritone sax (a studio mistake?). The original mix had kept the Organ channel low in order to subdue the distortions caused by the offending channel carrying the sounds of the sax. In this release, thanks to current technology, it has been possible to clean that channel and to restore the Hammond Organ contribution to all of its original glory. This track has been added to the CD, along with 7 other cues that had been composed for the score but were later rejected. All 8 new pieces confer to this edition more than 30 minutes of extra music never before released!

Film's Storyline:

SESSO MATTO is an episodic comedy in which Dino Risi generated a series of grotesque episodes concerning sexual deviations. The main actors are Laura Antonelli and Giancarlo Giannini.
In the first episode (Signora sono le sette), a dutiful butler from Sicily has to make love with his mistress every morning in order to wake her from her deep coma-like slumber. In the second episode (Due cuori e una baracca) a very poor couple with 15 sons can’t control their outrageous sexual impulses and thus refrain from making even more babies. The third episode (Non è mai troppo tardi) describes the predicament of a lawyer with an irresistible desire for much older women, including one particularly elderly woman (and even her still older mother), and this obsession leaves alone and unsatisfied his young and sexy wife! The fourth episode (Viaggio di nozze) is the story of an itinerant merchant who, despite his "Don Giovanni" fame, can only succeed in sexually satisfying his wife in elevators! In the fifth episode (Torna piccina mia) a clerk forces a lovely prostitute to change her look in order that she closely resemble his ugly wife who had earlier left him for another man. In the sixth episode (Lavoratore italiano all’estero) we see an Italian emigrant in Denmark who, in order to successfully donate his seed to a sperm bank, vividly imagines a nun performing a lascivious striptease. The seventh (La vendetta) episode tells us about a young Mafia widow who, in order to avenge her husband’s murder, kills the author of the crime via the use of hours of non-stop, hard sex. In the eighth episode (Un amore difficile) a boy from the south of Italy falls in love with a transgender woman who, by the end of the movie, will reveal herself to have once been his brother! In the last episode (L’ospite) we see the funny story of a married couple who invite a guest (victim) to dinner with the perverse goal of being aroused by his perturbation when confronted with the very heated flirtations of the host-wife.
