Le Clan Des Siciliens (The Sicilian Clan) Japanese OST

Details

Description

These two themes of "Le Clan des Sicilens (The Sicilian Clan)" OST are from a Japanese EP record (the title is introduced as "The Sicilians" on the cover). Most probably, this single cut was released only in Japan and this was the first record introduced as the OST of the film to the Japanese. Its release coincided with the release of the film. On the cover, it says "Original Soundtrack" and "Performed by 20th Century Fox Orchestra and Music by Ennio Morricone." These maybe new to many of Morricone fans outside Japan. I don't know why this single cut was released only in Japan and why they were introduced as the OST while they are not the same as the ones included in the OST LPs and CDs. These two themes were never re-released as a CD as far as I know. To me, it has been a big mystery for years and still is. But whatever these are, I still like these EP versions ever since my first listening.

The first piece is titled "The Sicilians Main Theme." The second piece is "The Sicilians Second Theme" which is the same as "Dialogo N.2" in the OST "Il Clan dei Siciliani" album.

I apologize for the audio quality. These are transfer from a cassette tape not from the EP directly.
