Quando le donne avevano la coda

Soundtrack information:

For our CD we were able to access the master tapes of the recording sessions where we discovered around 21 unedited minutes approved by the author. Ennio Morricone has written a lively and cheerful OST. It features an orchestra with beat arrangements and an amazing performance by the Cantori Moderni choir by Alessandroni. With Edda Dell'Orso, an exceptional vocalist.

Previously C.A.M had issued a 33-rpm (SAG 9032) with eleven stereo tracks (33:52 minutes). It was reissued on CD in Japan (Seven Seas/King Records KICP-3204) and on CD in Italy, (CAM 495375-2) combined with the music of Bruno Nicolai for the sequel “Quando le donne persero la coda” (aka “When women lost their tails”).
