This is a very interesting piece about all the various rarer ennio CDs. I enjoyed it.
Interesting to me that For a Few Dollars More fetches 200 dollars plus but its the one release so many people moaned and moaned about at the time and havent stopped moaning since. "Bah, Music and effects???? No sale!!!"

Bill, it's a rare jewel.....if you can find a copy ?
Some great scores on that "list": I PROMMESI SPOSI, I CANNIBALI, NANA. Some of the others never did much for me. Well, except for the spaghetti westerns. I'm surprised those titles are considered 'rare'.
I have a couple of those, I think: one of the NANA CDs and the original ORCA. Was going to include them in my next upcoming clearout sale (I never listen to them), but if they're worth actual real sums of money....
Well...is anyone willing to pay 100 euros/dollars for one single CD? Those prices I read about ...they might be written but if they actually sell I'm not so sure.
In 1971 my soundtrack mentor worked in a record score and got me a promotional copy of the never-released 45 rpm single for BURN! (QUIEMADA's U.S. title). A few months later, when I was a first-semester college student away from home for the first time, my friend told me of the Japanese release of a full LP of QUEIMADA being available through a mail-order outfit in England. I still hadn't seen the film but loved the 45; and besides, at that point Morricone was still my favorite composer. I didn't have much money but spent a whopping $15 -- three times the cost of most American LPs at the time -- and then had to wait seven weeks and five days for delivery, but QUEIMADA became my favorite album for the next 12 years. (Until I heard Goldsmith's UNDER FIRE.)
GDM's CD expansion of QUEIMADA is what I listen to now; but this article made me happier than ever that I never considered letting the Japanese album go when I sold off many of my non-U.S. 1970s Morricone LPs in the '90s. It's nice to see that value now ... not that I intend to receive that price in my lifetime.
Consider it rare "truth in advertising." (I'll never give up that GDM expansion either -- despite the occasional music/effects cues -- before anyone finally issues a two-disc equivalent of Quartet's great set for THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY.)

I remember buying a copy off Lionel Woodman when it first came out in 2003 for £16....I now wish I'd have bought a dozen of the buggers !
But at the time you don't realise how collectible some titles have now become ?
