“Scacco alla Regina” (“Check to the Queen”, also known as “The Slave”) is a 1969 film directed by Pasquale Festa Campanile, a visually excellent work that mixes dramatic, sentimental and erotic ingredients for a successful portrait of the late 60s rich Italian bourgeoisie.
The soundtrack, composed and conducted by Piero Piccioni, is arguably one of the best he’s ever made. Beat, jazz, lounge, psychedelia, classical music: this score offers a considerable stylistic variety, and makes often use of the precious and unmistakable voice of Edda Dell’Orso and Alessandro Alessandroni’s Cantori Moderni.
The absolute excellence of this soundtrack is confirmed by the fact that it works perfectly even as a stand-alone record, detached from the movie scenes; quite surprisingly, it has never received all the attention it undoubtedly deserved.
Sky blue/white marbled vinyl edition with gatefold cover, a new artwork and audio remastered by Claudio Fuiano.

Scacco alla Reginaは、1969年のパスクアーレ・フェスタ・カンパニーレ監督作品で、60年代後半のイタリアの金持ちブルジョワジーをうまく描くためにドラマチック、センチメンタル、エロの要素を混ぜた視覚的に優れた作品である。
トラックリストピエロ・ピッチオーニが作曲・指揮したサウンドトラックは、間違いなく彼の作品の中で最高のひとつである。ビート、ジャズ、ラウンジ、サイケデリア、クラシック......この音楽は実に多彩で、エッダ・デッロルソとアレッサンドロ・アレッサンドローニのカントリ・モデルニの貴重で紛れもない声がよく活かされています。
このサウンドトラックは、映画のシーンから切り離された単体のレコードとしても完璧に機能するという事実が、このサウンドトラックの絶対的な素晴らしさを証明しています。
