However, Italy was responsible for another classic cinematic exploitation movement around the same time, one that is equally as compelling, but less widely recognised. GiallohellipGiallo, meaning lsquoyellowrsquo, is the Italian term for crime fiction, it was named after the bright yellow colours of early pulp fiction paperbacks. Film audiences adopted it as the name for a peculiarly Italian subgenre of thriller cinema that had its heyday in the 1970rsquos just as the Spaghetti Western movement was waning. The Giallo can be difficult to define, but essentially it is an Italian crime film that draws from a pool of common themes stylized murders, amateur sleuths, sleazy glamour, psychological crimes, enigmatic titles and all these themes are underpinned by creepily atmospheric Ennio Morricone music scores. Starting 70 years ago as an arranger for the piece Mamma Bianca, Ennio Morricone is the emperor of scores and soundtracks. Morricone has always been a huge influence for the likes of Hans Zimmer, Danger Mouse, Muse, Metallica and many more musicians. He was one of the most successful composers of alltime, selling over 70 million records and winning dozens of awards.Giallonbspis available as a limited edition of 3000 individually numbered copies on ldquogiallo and black marbledrdquo clear, yellow and black mixed vinyl. The package includes a 4page insert with liner notes written by Claudio Fuiano.
