If you have heard of Ennio Morricone at all, it is because of his music for "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly". That was me in 1982 when I caught this old movie on TV. It had an odd but interesting soundtrack. I saw the composer's name during the credits and made a mental note to pick up that album. Turns out that soundtracks of weird European B-movies by Italian composers weren't easy to find in those pre-Internet college days. I did eventually find it...a year or two later...in L.A. That was the gateway album which led to more Morricone albums. Much more. A few hundred, actually.
