Yes, that may well be true about Rome come chicago master tapes - or at least that was the info up till recently - but i suspect a decent second set exists or the information given to lionel was incorrect. A lot of info out of italy in the last 25 years has ended up being misinformation or red herrings. Nailing down absolute accurate truth is usually difficult or simply impossible, especially as much of this stuff is up to 50 years old.

A lot of info out of italy in the last 25 years has ended up being misinformation or red herrings. Nailing down absolute accurate truth is usually difficult or simply impossible, especially as much of this stuff is up to 50 years old. Indeed. But for ROME COME CHICAGO, one thing we know for sure is that it was produced by Dino De Laurentiis -- which means it could be very difficult to get the music rights. Actually, it could be same problem as ORCA. Most of the music they own is sadly still unreleased, so unfortunately, even a release of what's currently available (which I have never heard) seems very unlikely. Curiously DANGER: DIABOLIK was also produced by Dino de Laurentiis. It is more widely known as lost, but we never know. LABBRA DI LURIDO BLU is also widely known as lost, and I don't see obvious right issues. Don't forget about the often requested Sette pistole per i MacGregor, Sette donne per i MacGregor, and La ragazza e il generale. I must say that I don't fully remember the status. I've always assumed the elements were also missing. In any case, for most of my Morricone requests, it seems more likely that Italian label would release them if elements are available. I'm personally waiting for THRILLING and I DUE EVASI DI SING SING, which has apparently at least a few tracks available on a very rare LP libary. LA VOGLIA MATTA could also have an official release. There are quite a few dubious (lossy re-encoded as lossless!) downloads available for purchase because of the 60 years rule. By the way, what is the status of ARABELLA? I'm sure that was discussed over the last 15 years here but I don't remember. Back then there were so much more Morricone soundtracks to expand that I didn't pay as much attention.

What i would say is this - when something doesnt appear, collectors usually assume, or hear a rumour - that master tapes are lost,damaged etc. When on many occasions clean versions are rescued but simply not able to release due to a problem securing the license rights - as slint and stefan have said - or other complications/obstacles.
