The director, composer and music producer Jeymes Samuel (also known as The Bullitts), a great fan of the western world since he was a child, has dug into the archives of CAM Sugar, the world's largest catalog of Italian film soundtracks, to bring to light rare, unreleased and often forgotten songs, which he has collected in the Spaghetti Western Collection (CAM Sugar/UMe), which will be released on June 20th. It is already possible to pre-order it.

"The result - reads a press release - is a compilation that combines the dusty drama of the Italian Far West with the musical richness of jazz, soul, funk and psychedelic rock. From a musical point of view, the collection highlights the unique sound of the soundtracks of Italian westerns, which have been able to blend with genius the most iconic elements of the rebellious and experimental music of the 1960s".

The original soundtracks are taken from legendary Italian western films made between 1963 and 1972, a golden age of Italian genre cinema.

Below you can find the list of tracks contained in the Jeymes Samuels' Spaghetti Western Collection.
