Sólo se muere una vez (Spain)
GDM Music releases for the first absolute time on record the OST by Robby Poitevin for the thriller spy-noir movie "Assassination" (aka "Sólo se muere una vez") directed in 1967 by Hal Brady (Emilio P. Miraglia) and starring Henry Silva, Fred Beir, Evelyn Stewart, Peter Dane, Bill Vanders. Just before to be executed for a murder never committed, John Chandler (Silva) is rescued by CIA, that suggest him to take the likeness of the nonexistent brother Philip, then to unmask an international conspiracy. Robby Poitevin has written an OST typical of those days featuring a Lounge main theme for orchestra and choir alternated to Garage music, jazzy themes, a nostalgic love theme performed with sax and trumpet, gothic atmospheres where the harpsichord dominates played with a semi-experimental way, dramatic orchestral music (for the movie's climax). Digitally remastered using the mono master tapes of the original session.
