L'arbitro

Digitmovies presents for the very first time on CD the complete OST in full stereo by the legendary brothers Guido & Maurizio De Angelis for the movie L'arbitro.

At the time, RCA released a 45 rpm single (TBBO 1017) with the themes "Miss Elena" and "(I'm) Football Crazy" (played by Giorgio Chinaglia), but in the RCA archives, in addition to the stereo master tapes of the original recording session, we have made a great discovery: an album mock-up with ten selections (35:04) that never saw the light of day in 1974, and moreover we also found about 25:47 of alternate material that carries our CD to the total duration of 60:51.

The De Angelis brothers have written, arranged and conducted a really nice OST that opens with the love theme "Miss Elena" in a pastoral version (Tr. 1), which gets reprised in a pop version (Tr.8), then alternated with funny music in a Sicilian mood(Tr.2), lounge music as in a night club (Tr. 3), an African rock fast (Tr. 5) and slow version (Tr.18) and a Bossa Nova (Tr.7).

The song "(I 'm) Football Crazy " is the main theme song of the OST: we get an instrumental take(Tr.4), a vocal take film version(Tr.9), a vocal take with different ending (Tr.11), a vocal take mixed for the 45 rpm single (Tr. 16) and the karaoke version (2:27).
