Yep, I love it too. A great score.
I'm not sure I'd describe it as obscure though. As far as Morricone scores go, I think his fans know reasonably well that it's one of his good ones. It's had multiple LP and CD releases. The one I got was a twofer disc with PEUR SUR LA VILLE. It's also been released by it's Italian title.
Cheers

Weird that anyone in our field would consider this score/film obscure.
Back in the Lp collecting days late 70s this and sicilian clan were two of his biggest and more widely available non western scores.
Good score, some exceptional tracks and a classic car chase in the film that would rival bullet, ronin or fear is the key.

Yeah good you have started down the morricone road.
Its a long one but the discoveries are almost limitless.
If you like la casse you should pursue his crime scores, fear on the city, violent city, sicilian clan, le ruffian, corleone, grand slam, what else??
Also that kirk douglas one with the 11minute opening track with echo trumpet - come on someone, help me out, name on tip of my tongue...!

thanks for the link simon.
Its a bit discordant to begin with but theme starts proper with trumpet at 3.03.
Just magic.

For me, 'Le Casse' pales in comparison to Morricone's other scores from the same period. The title theme is great, some tracks are good, but I don't care for the rather bland source music.
Enjoyable, but not a major score by the Maestro.
I have to agree. Only the title track is worth a jot, really. I got the LP back in the day, but never took to it. I think I might have played it right through three times in the last forty-odd years. For me, side two is just a few tracks of musak.
Hi Les, I beg to disagree. Apart from the main theme, "Love Theme" is a very haunting track. Track 5 - The Girl with the Fringe might qualify as elevator music. But it is not by any means unremarkable. It is wonderful to listen to - very very romantic. The 8th track - Marinella was sampled by John Zorn. It is not a favorite of mine. The 9th track To Carlos S - is another remarkable tune and is not by any means filler. The 10th track - To Melachrino is amazing. It is a repetition of Love Theme with words. Sorry, I am not too good at describing the technical side of music like some people here. But try listening to these tracks once again. They are not simply filler. I swear you will not be disappointed.
