NEW - Soundtrack, Blindman OST (Splatter) LP

Released: 22nd April 2023

Score Composed By Stelvio Cipriani for the 1971 Spaghetti Western Blindman Starring Ringo Starr & Tony Anthony
Blindman (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) will be released in conjunction with the worldwide event Record Store Day on limited edition blood splatter vinyl, with new liner notes by acclaimed musician/songwriter Gary Lucas and a reproduction of the original film poster. The film, originally released in 1971, features music by Italian composer Stelvio Cipriani. For Blindman, Cipriani alternates between classically orchestrated soundtrack music and mariachi-inflected themes, staying true to the thematic motifs of the film. For several decades, the Blindman soundtrack never saw an official physical release (CD only, by Digitmovies in Italy, in 2005), and was previously only available digitally. This special edition will be the soundtrack’s debut on the vinyl format.

Directed by Ferdinando Baldi (David and Goliath, starring Orson Welles), Blindman is a take on the immensely popular Zatoichi films of Japan. A blind gunman (Tony Anthony) escorts a group of fifty women to Texas, where they are to be married to miners. When the mail order brides are kidnapped by a gang working for two banditos (one of whom is played by Ringo Starr) and their villainous sister, the captors find out their opponent, dependent on his horse and his hearing, is a deadlier challenge than they might have expected. Full of humor and sarcasm, Blindman is one of the most stylish and absurdist of the early ‘70s “Spaghetti Westerns.” Shot at Cinecitta Studios in Rome, and on location in southern Spain, Blindman was co-produced by Tony Anthony, Allen Klein and Saul Swimmer, the latter of whom co-produced The Beatles film Let It Be and directed George Harrison’s The Concert for Bangladesh. In 2016, ABKCO Films released Blindman on DVD, Blu-ray and digital download versions in HD, restored from the original 35mm negative.
