*HIDDEN GEMS* IS A NEW CINEVOX RECORD SERIES DEDICATED TO
CULT AND OBSCURE SOUNDTRACKS COLLECTORS.

‘La Cosa Buffa’ is a 1972 sentimental drama film based on the novel of the same name by Giuseppe Berto, directed by Aldo Lado and starring Gianni Morandi and Ottavia Piccolo.
The film falls into a broad category of cinematic works that deal with relationships between adults and adolescents; its soundtrack, composed and orchestrated by Ennio Morricone – and directed by Maestro Nicola Samale – is
consequently based on numerous variations of a main romantic theme, whose melodies are mainly entrusted to strings, harpsichord and, in several cases, the unmistakable voice of Edda Dell’Orso; the only exceptions are the
two versions “Ballabile N.1” and “N.2” of the title-track, two 60s beat-sounding catchy songs.
Exactly fifty years since its previous vinyl edition, “La Cosa Buffa” sees the light again in the same format, in a special version with completely renewed artwork characterized by a faithful reproduction of the original film poster
on the front cover.
Yellow vinyl edition. Audio remastered by Claudio Fuiano.
