In collaboration with Carthago Films and Warner Chappell Music France, Music Box Records proudly presents the premiere CD release of the original motion picture soundtrack of Philippe Clair's Plus beau que moi, tu meurs (1982) composed and conducted by Armando Trovajoli.

Philippe Clair directed two successful films with leading actor Aldo Maccione in the early 1980s: Tais-toi quand tu parles (1981 ? OST previously released by Music Box Records in 2015) and Plus beau que moi, tu meurs. This album focuses on the second film, a burlesque Mediterranean comedy about two brothers who are total opposites. After Tais-toi quand tu parles, the music is also composed by Armando Trovajoli, an Italian composer famous for his work with Ettore Scola and Dino Risi. The soundtrack is a patchwork of sophisticated disco and funky tracks, sarcastic refrains, a twirling tango, and heavenly themes. The present edition features the famous film's theme song, performed by Maccione himself and written by Philippe Clair. An instant classic!

The whole program has been fully remastered by Christophe Henault from the complete scoring session elements. The package includes an 8-page booklet featuring exclusive liner notes by writer Nicolas Magenham discussing the film and the score. The CD release is limited to 500 units.
