Digitmovies ventures into the world of the Italian police cinema, for the first time on LP, in full stereo the OST the mythic Stelvio Cipriani for Italian cult police movie: "Squadra volante". "Squadra volante" (aka "Emergency Squad") was directed in 1974 by Stelvio Massi and starred Tomas Milian as inspector Tomas Ravelli and Gastone Moschin as his arch enemy, a bandit called the Marseilles man, the remaining cast including Mario Carotenuto,Ray Lovelock and Stefania Casini: The gang of the Marseilles man assaults an armoured car in the city of Pavia by way of pretending to be a movie troupe which is shooting a movie. Inspector Ravelli (Milian) from Marseilles interpol investigates into this case after heaving received a tip-off about the facts. His presence is also motivated because some years ago the Marseilles man(Moschin), chief of the criminal gang, had killed his wife by chance in front of a supermarket, which is the reason why he wants to get quits with him. After chases and brutal killings there is the climax at the end where Ravelli, who has thrown away his police card, kills the Marseilles man. For "Squadra Volante" Cipriani has written a recurrent pleasant and brilliant lounge-style theme, almost in contrast with the sense of bitter revenge which pervades the character played by Tomas Milian, introduced on side A: Tr.1, Tr,3, and on side B: Tr.1,Tr.3 and Tr.6 ( a long alternate version, maybe conceived for a 45 rpm single that never saw the light in those days). This romantic theme gets alternated with dance floor music on side A: Tr.2, Tr.5 and Tr.7; on side B: Tr.2, Tr.4, Tr.5. LP LIMITED EDITION
