Sometimes dreams become true and it's not with the usual pride we are going to announce this release, but with our voice broken by emotion…
After nearly 40 years since their debut, after having created an unmatched myth, after having influenced society, customs, literature, fashions and habits of a country, now, at last under kind courtesy and in collaboration with the Roman label CINEVOX, the right tribute to the scores of two of the most upsetting movies of the 70s: FANTOZZI and IL SECONDO TRAGICO FANTOZZI, two masterpieces directed by Luciano Salce and interpreted by Paolo Villaggio.
And in those CDs you'll get practically everything… The main titles, the music for the new year eve dinner, the sequence at the Japanese restaurant, the Potemkin destroyer, the second movie main titles, the shots with the mega-bosses, the party for the boat, the casino etc etc etc and not only…
Incredible out-takes, cues not utilized, integral or alternate versions, a nearly karaoke version of the BALLATA DI FANTOZZI in which Paolo Villaggio sings an alternate text and the cue ''IMPIEGATANGO'', the ultra-rare version of the namesake cue again singed by Paolo Villaggio that was on the B-Side of the 45rpm.
It's a real amarcord that lasts more than 100 minutes in 62 tracks (!!!!!!) that will leave you astonished in the moment that, during your listening experience, you will go back to the vicissitudes of the great accountant!
But it's not finished here… For this occasion we have realized a documentary-interview (with English subtitles!) to the three popular composers of these wonderful scores: Franco Bixio, Fabio Frizzi, Vince Tempera. Nearly an hour of exclusive testimonies of the three great artists that answer in turn to our questions. A real totem as witness of a world that generated a host of great myths now described by the words of the three Maestros.
You really can't miss it.
On the DVD entitled CONTENUTI MOSTRUOSAMENTE SPECIALI also available a special regarding all the releases dedicated to the two popular movies in which we interview Claudio Fuiano, author of the two masters that, as usual, did a great job, realizing a tracklist of the length of around 1h 45m of exceptional stereo quality.
The product is proposed in double CD in jewelbox case featuring also the DVD, 2 8 pages booklets with commentaries by Franco Bixio and Fabio Frizzi, liner notes by Daniele De Gemini, Claudio Fuiano and Fabio Babini, original artwork edited by Daniele De Gemini. This edition is limited to 1000 copies: do not miss your meeting with myth…!
