I'm a great admirer of the soundtrack score of Milano Calibro 9, but I was looking for the original one, that is a collection of the music that you actually can hear during the movie, not the OSANNA album intitled "Milano calibro 9" which basically includes music composed out of a collaboration between Bacalov and Osanna but which is different from the movie score.
Any advice, hint or suggestion is welcomed.
Thanks
I am afraid it has never been released and who knows if it ever will be?
The soundtrack was actually recorded from a live performance, playing along to the final cut of the film. The Osanna album was recorded later in studio.
If the original master tapes have survived, let's hope so, they are bound to be released, otherwise I expect something along the line of Morricone's "Diabolik" to come out eventually: a compilation of audio snippets from the actual film with dialogue and noises still there, obviously.
Better than nothing for some people, I guess.
In any case, whatever comes, you'll most probably find it here first:

This is a late comment of course but the music sure sounds a lot like early Jethro Tull.
shareExactly. I was so sure it was some Jethro Tull.
Maybe because some Italian cinema regulations they could not credit the band
(as Deep Purple were not credited in "4 flies on grey velvet").
it was not Jethro Tull, it was the great composer Bacalov and Osanna are performers.
OK, anyway it was very "Jethro Tullish" (that is good :)).
sharethis is not true Bacalov music is far more complete than Ian Anderson.
Bacalov used also violins, violoncellos and synthesizer and a complete orchestra, Ian at the time used only guitar and flute.
Please bear in mind that I love Ian and started listening him in 1967 when I was 15 and I know his music, its far different from Bacalov.
Please try to listen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXd74Vk8n-0 this is the original overture of the movie with the original soundtrack, you can easily understand this is far from Ian and his band.
There's a song called "Morire... dormire... forse sognare" ("To die, to sleep, maybe to dream") sung by Patty Pravo featured in the film as well, and it's not on the Osanna album. It's on her album "Per aver visto un uomo piangere e soffrire Dio si trasformò in musica e poesia" which is a pretty nice album.
This song was also recorded by the very Jethro Tull-ish Italian prog band New Trolls as part of their famous and influential "Concerto Grosso" album.
Here's a youtube for the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DN8bAyZqt8
And a link to the Italian Amazon page with a 4-album (including this one) collection of prime Patty Pravo: http://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B001WIH1X8/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
Liked the film, and I loved that opening and closing theme song--was hoping that it was available on a CD somewhere, but going by some of the comments here, apparently not. Too bad, because it's a really memorable and somber theme to a sometimes somber flick.
shareI'm hoping that somebody knows the title of the of the funky song playing while Ugo reunites with Nelly at the bar during her act. Pretty catchy tune.
Also the groovy song playing at the party near the end when he meets and helps kill the mafia gang. Seems to be saying "Let the rhythm grow" and those girls are all dancing like crazy to the vibes. And it does appear to be in Italian.
I guess we'll never get a full, complete soundtrack to the film, but it would sure be nice.
