I am sure that the most intriguing of the three for you would be GIOVINEZZA GIOVINEZZA. This is not at all a lounge score, but a very sombre symphonic one. This one should be right up your alley because there are reminiscences of SENILITÀ, LA VIACCIA and of LO STRANIERO, also a bit of FRATELLI KARAMAZOV creeps in in the melodic main theme. I hope that this quite fascinating score will still get an official release, but as the movie is a very unknown one this is of course not sure at current times. There are a few source music cues in the style of the 30s, but for the most part this is very impressionistic, reflective and introspective, almost meditative music which throughout conveys a real feeling of loneliness and despair. GIOVINEZZA GIOVINEZZA gets now released by Beat. A nice surprise: http://www.beatrecords.it/shop.asp?lingua=e&idprodotto=BCM9576&uscita=prox

This might be the banner year for unreleased Piero which is known to exist. L'assassino (Elio Petri crime thriller), released March of 1961 Il mondo di notte (documentary), opened in April '61 in West Germany La viaccia (Bolognini drama, which uses Debussy's saxophone rhapsody), premiered @ the May '61 Cannes Mani in alto (adventure, aka "Destination Fury"), first shown July '61 La viaccia surfaced on Saimel last year ... and Quartet now offers us L'assassino in the middle of 2017.

I doubt Il mondo di notte and Mani in Alto will have the same treatment anytime soon since they are not CAM. Though you problably mean Il mondo di notte No. 2 which was released in 1961. MANI IN ALTO as well as both MONDO DI NOTTE scores ARE CAM. Don´t let yourself be deceived by the fact that around 1960 there were LPs of the MONDO DI NOTTE scores on other labels. It is something essential which I have already explained so often on this board: Many scores which in fact belonged to CAM were released around 1960 - which means at the time before the CAM LP label even originated - on RCA singles, EPs or LPs and moreover even scores which belonged to Nazionalmusic. So it was always 50/50: Some scores which got such a vinyl release in Italy at that time were indeed RCA, but many others not at all!

I hope 'wayoutwest' & 'Ag^Janus' & 'purplemonkeydishwasher' (plus many other members) are still with us and doing OK. Hardly any FSMer is commenting about this latest Piccioni disc. Early Piccioni music (such as L'assassino) may be a harder sell than PP's erotica/lounge material from '69/'70/'71, but this should not deter fans of Piero's entire career output. As an aside, I was under the impression that Juan Ángel Saiz and Stefan Schlegel were working on getting some of Piccioni's early 1960s unreleased C.A.M. titles from Sugar Group onto discs via the Saimel label, but apparently Quartet got 1st dibs on L'assassino.
