"This is apparently the final chapter in the series of 10 CD's - aptly subutitled: END TITLES.
The whole series could not be a more brilliant showcase of the dedication behind "background" music of 1960's & 1970's Italian movies - that just because they are "scores" does NOT mean they can't be brilliant on their own as - the collected tracks in this one contain the most vocals - both of the cool, fun variety we don't hear much anymore: the fun easy lounge variety and the brassy belt-out-loud kind. About 2/3's of this disc are vocals. There are also a handful of great jazz and jazz funk tracks as with all the other CD's - in my opinion, the 2nd best of the series after Volume 1 - by the way, here's the track listing.
