Italian Crime Soundtracks From The Years Of Lead (1973-1981) - Collector's Edition
New CAM Sugar collection on Italian crime soundtracks (Poliziottesco / Spaghetti Crime); Piombo paints a ‘picture in sound’ of The Years of Lead (1973–1981), a controversial period when the escalation of political violence and terrorism in Italy reached its climax. Italian cinema documented this season with Polizieschi (aka Spaghetti Crime Films / Poliziotteschi / Euro Crime): a genre that, drawing from the French Polar tradition and American Blaxploitation, encompassed thrill and action (but also comedy and drama) in a whirlwind of breath-taking car chases, heists, kidnaps, gunfights, political terror attacks, and brutal violence.

"PIOMBO – Italian Crime Soundtracks from the Years of Lead (1973-1981)", the new collection by CAM Sugar. Sprinting Alfa Giuliettas and blazing P38s, balaclava-clad flares-wearing terrorists, heists and kidnaps, coppers tougher than bullets, PIOMBO sheds a light on the music of the Italian cinema that captured the socio-political turmoil of late 1960s-to-early-1980s Italy, in a crucial historical period known as the Years of Lead.
Featuring music by the likes of Stelvio Cipriani, Guido & Maurizio De Angelis, Riz Ortolani, Luis Bacalov, Manuel De Sica, Bruno Nicolai, Filippo Trecca, Roberto Pregadio, Franco Campanino, Paolo Vasile and more spanning from tense crime funk to groovy disco breaks and clavinets, from prog guitar licks to cinematic orchestral highlights.
