Piero Piccioni - Playgirl '70

Piero Piccioni's Playgirl '70, starring Euro-trash sexpot Ira Furstenberg, actually came out in the erotic year of '69. It was a hot year for il Maestro, including the following releases: Camille 2000, Colpo Rovente and Scacco Alla Regina -- all amazing scores. The Japanese label, Avanz, released Playgirl '70 on CD in '97, but its scarcity makes it this week's pick. Soulful organ, sultry flute, seductive strings, groovy little rhythms make Playgirl '70 perfect make-out music for mod Italian bachelor pads. Enjoy.
