Is that the one with For A Few Dollars More Bill? It is a good recording, I prefer the Diabolik effort than the Dollars one. Not too keen on the film myself.
Tight leather outfits for starters. Plus in nearly every scene are large pieces of cheese. By the way I love the film.
I do too, but I would consider "The Mission" and "Days of Heaven" to be camp.
In all seriousness, I think that "camp" has to have a self-awareness factor that "Diabolik" does not have. "Batman" is camp for this reason, but "Diabolik" is not.

I agree to a 99% extent. I can see where some might perceive it as "camp", but it doesn't rise to the level of Batman the series, much less the funny and high camp Adam West Batman film. Diabolik has a sense of humor, but I wouldn't put it in a John Waters camp category. And that soundtrack....siiigghhhh....
Definition of camp, Webster's 1. Something so outrageously artificial, affected, inappropriate, or out-of-date as to be considered amusing.
Then, by applying this definition, it is not camp. ??
I would argue that "Diabolik" exhibits the first of those four characteristics, but not all four.
...which is why it says OR and not AND in the definition. One characteristic makes it qualify. I do understand YOUR definition and see why you think it is not.
Just listening to this....again. It may have been well-documented but although its all the Cantori Moderni girls, and Edda on some tracks, clearly one of the dominant singers - and providing the vocals on Deep Deep Down is Christy Brancucci, the vocalist on Big Gundown's "Run Man Run" and Tepepa's "Messico". She has a distinctive voice very different from Edda and Gianna.
