Digitmovies is releasing the CD of the OST from the film “Blackie the Pirate” (original title: “Il Corsaro Nero”).

SOUNDTRACK:Blackie the Pirate is a ctional character created by the Italian writer Emilio Salgari. The character has appeared in various lms throughout the years such as in a silent lm directed by Vitale Di Stefano in 1920; in a lm directed by Amleto Palermi in 1937 with music by Alessandro Cicognini; and in a version directed by Sergio Sollima in 1976 where Blackie was played by the popular star Kabir Bedi, with music by Guido & Maurizio De Angelis.The composer Gino Peguri (author of soundtracks for movies like “Bloody Pit of Horror,”“Seven Magni cent Pistols”, “A Woman on Fire”, “Psychopath,”“Code Name, Red Roses”) wrote an orchestral score for “Blackie the Pirate” which was released in 1971 on a rare LP from RCA (SP 8035) and a rare single Cormorano (ZC 50180).For this CD re-release we were able to find the stereo master tapes from the original album and the complete master tapes from the original recording sessions which include both stereo and mono mixes. In addition to the 12 stereo tracks on the album, we have added nine alternate tracks in stereo and ve alternate tracks in mono.This OST is dominated by the fun pop-sounding song in the opening credits called “Orza qui poggia li,” performed by Paolo Ferrara and accompanied by the chorus of Nora Orlandi (tr.6 and tr.14), then reprised with variations in tr.8, tr.12, tr.18, tr.20, Tr.21 and tr.27. There are elements of Hispanic music on tr.3, tr.4, tr.11, tr.15, tr.16. You can hear adventurous music on tr.1, tr.7, tr.13, Tr.24 and tr.25, while early music appears on tr.10 & tr.17. A romantic love theme is found on tr.2 and tr.26.
