Digitmovies is pleased to release on LP the OST by Gian Piero Reverberi and
Gianfranco Reverberi for the film ''Django, Prepare a Coffin''.
SOUNDTRACK
Brothers Gianfranco and Gian Piero Reverberi composed OSTs for TV shows such
as "Robinson Crusoè" (1964), "The Secret Agents" (1965), "Devil in the
Flesh" (1968), and "Torino Nero" (1972). This OST follows the typical standards of
spaghetti western film music, but with pop arrangements. The main theme to this film
is ''You'd Better Smile,'' sung by Nicola Di Bari who was a popular singer in the 60s
and 70s. It has a tinge of rock accompanied by trumpet, chorus and orchestra. The
motif is reprised in various versions: a slow version, a faster rhythmic version, a
slower version with trumpets and a chorus which are developed in epic form, a
quieter version with electric guitar and flute, and for the opening credits a slower,
instrumental version. The song is also reprised in the ending credits of the Italian
version. For this LP we were able to access the stereo and mono master tapes of the
original recording session.

PLOT
Django's one-time friend, David Berry, asks Django to help him become governor.
Knowing how ambitious and ruthless David is, Django refuses and sets out on a
journey to transport a load of gold to the federal deposit. During the trip, a group of
bandits led by Lucas assault the convoy, massacre the bodyguard and also kill
Django's wife. Determined to take revenge, Django heads up a gang of innocently
convicted men he saves from being hanged by Lucas. Unbeknownst to Django, in
their group is an Indian named Garcia who convinces the others to attack a convoy
loaded with gold. The attack is successful, but losing the gold angers Berry who is
counting on the money to finance his career. Django falls into the hands of Lucas
and Berry, but escapes and kills Lucas. He sets a trap for Berry, which the shady
character falls into.
