Digitmovies publishes on CD, in a complete version, Robby Poitevin's music for the film Giallo/Thriller 'Quella carogna dell'Ispettore Sterling' (aka 'Frame up-una intriga mortal', 'Ce salaud d'inspecteur Sterling').
THE SOUNDTRACK
At the time, RCA printed a 45 rpm single (Original Cast OC 1) with the mono tracks 'Adesso che hai vent'anni' and 'Tema dell'Ispettore Sterling' and a promotional 33 rpm single not intended for sale (SP 8025), with ten mono tracks, selected by the composer. In 2009, GDM Music released the material from the promo vinyl for the first time on CD, with eight previously unreleased tracks, combined with 'Tecnica di un omicidio'. Using the mono masters from the original session, eighteen previously unreleased tracks were added, including a very rare stereo take, bringing the CD to a length of 74:38 minutes. The beat-flavoured main theme 'Adesso che hai vent'anni' (Now that you're twenty) is introduced in the English version of the opening credits (Tr.18) and reprised in the closing credits (Tr.36) performed by the Cantori Moderni, and numerous instrumental variations in shake style (Tr.4, 11, 16, 24, 31) and reprised for organ and harpsichord (Tr.19). Maestro Poitevin describes the urban atmosphere of San Francisco with memorable passages between Jazz and Blues (Tr.2, 7, 25, 28) and the recurring "Tema dell'Ispettore Sterling" (Tr.6, 8, 12, 14, 15, 17, 21, 22, 27, 35).
Psychedelic passages evoke the recurring nightmares of the protagonist in the memory of his murdered little son, with the use of Sitar, rhythmics and vocals, creating Indian atmospheres (Tr.10, 13, 20, 23, 26, 29, 32) including a rare stereo mix (Tr.34).
A bossa for woodwinds and rhythms describes the song 'Pedinamento sentimentale' (Tr.3, 30). The song 'One more step' is performed by Gianfranca Montedoro in both the album version (Tr.5) and the long version (Tr.33).
DIRECTION AND CAST
