Il sindacalista

Digitmovies is glad to release for the very first time on CD the complete OST in full stereo by the brothers Guido e Maurizio De Angelis from the movie comedy “Il sindacalista” (aka “The Labor Organizer”) directed in 1972 by Luciano Salce and starring Lando Buzzanca, Dominique Boschero, Renzo Montagnani, Paola Pitagora, Isabella Biagini, Gino Santercole, Fernando Cerulli, Piero Vida, Gastone Pescucci, Fortunato Arena, Enzo Sancrotti. Saverio Ravizzi (Buzzanca), a Sicilian emigrated to the north, is a worker in the area of Bergamo. By taking care of his workmates’ interests, he succeeds in getting the attention of his leader(Montagnani) and becomes a labor organizer. For Saverio the troubles begin when the rumour goes around that the factory is going to be sold so that his friends start to turn their backs on him and treat him as someone who has been corrupted by the owners. We succeeded in locating the master tapes of the original session in full stereo and also in very good condition, but we could also locate an album mock–up (here tracks 1-11, duration 28:44) prepared at the time of the film's release, but which never saw the light on the market then. Besides that material we have added some extra tracks which bring our CD to a total time of 40:53. The cool De Angelis brothers have written a hymn for the character of Saverio that is introduced during the Main Titles (Tr.1), a cheerful march for orchestra and male choir and then reprised with “ghostly voices” with echo and reverb effects (Tr.6), a vocal with words which appears in Tr.7 and in Tr.11,Tr.12,Tr.14,Tr.17. The main theme is reprised again in a popular arrangement with folk flavour (Tr.4), in a sweet version performed by recorder (Tr.9) and gets alternated with music in a more "police" mode (Tr.2) and lounge music (Tr.8, Tr.15). A delightful OST which deserved to be rescued and preserved for the joy of the fans of the De Angelis Bros. around the world.
