Spaghetti Western soundtracks

These are my original vinyl copies of some of the most memorable and distinctive soundtracks ever, created by Italian maestro Ennio Morricone, who sadly passed away at the age of 91 recently.   Morricone composed all the music for this Sergio Leone ‘spaghetti western’ trilogy and many more classic movies.

Dirty Harry / Magnum Force

This was the first movie poster I ever bought.  I remember it distinctly as I bought it when Pinewood Film Studios had their first (and as far as I know only) open day back in 1977. I persuaded (ok forced) my mum and dad to take me and we spent the day touring the various sound…
