Nude Per L'Assassino

Description

Released in theaters on August 26, 1975, *Nude per l’assassino* (Strip Nude for Your Killer) stands as one of the most provocative and uninhibited gialli of the decade. Fifty years later, Four Flies Records announces a major event: the rediscovery and first official release of its long-lost soundtrack, presented in a luxurious vinyl edition, remastered from the original 8-track tapes. Composed by Berto Pisano and Elsio Mancuso—the latter credited with SIAE but uncredited in the film—the score unfolds an intoxicating blend: jazz-funk grooves, sultry lounge atmospheres, dodecaphonic suspense, and grandiose orchestral themes carried by strings, flugelhorn, and Oscar Valdambrini's masterful trumpet. The whole is sublimated by Edda Dell’Orso's magnetic voice, alternating between sensual ecstasy and ethereal whispers, at one of the peaks of her career. Untraceable for decades and a collectors' fantasy, the soundtrack was accidentally found in a dusty cellar. A true manifesto of the Italian "erotic sound," it also testifies to the artistry with which the composers reinvented American funk. With this release, the very soul of *Nude per l’assassino* is reborn: a provocative and iconic classic of Italian genre cinema, now accompanied by its music, long forbidden like a dream, finally revealed.
