Black Stone Affair

Vinyl LP pressing. For the first time ever, Record Kicks is pleased to announce the release of the long lost soundtrack by Whatitdo Archive Group to the Italian cinematic masterpiece The Black Stone Affair. Long thought to be lost alongside the movie itself by the production studio, the soundtrack's master reels were recently recovered and it's audio meticulously restored and remastered by J.J. Golden in Ventura, CA. The movie itself was understood to be unusual for it's time: a globetrotting adventure/western-noir written and directed by aspiring visionary, Stefano Paradisi. Unfortunately for Paradisi, the tragic loss of his masterpiece also meant the end of his short lived career in movies. People who worked on the film have been cited as saying this film was going to be a turning point in Italian cinema and henceforth put Paradisi on the map alongside the likes of Fellini and Antonioni.
