“Kiss Kiss… Bang Bang” is a 1966 spy movie directed by Duccio Tessari, starring Giuliano Gemma, Daniele Vargas and George Martin among others. That same year only a 45rpm was released, including the tracks “Love Love Bang Bang” sung by Nancy Cuomo, accompanied by Alessandro Alessandroni’s Cantori Moderni, and “Kiss-me-Warren-please”. Therefore, this is the first ever vinyl edition of this soundtrack, including sixteen tracks taken from the original session mono master, for a total length of about 38 minutes.

Bruno Nicolai composed a soundtrack based on different versions of the two main themes. “Love Love Bang Bang”, the song from the opening credits (A1), is featured with different arrangements: dreamy for sax and piano (A4), baroque classical (A5), march (B1), as a tender lullaby for strings and celesta (B4) and even with a James Bond-style intro (B8). “Kiss-Me-Warren-Please”, the main character’s love theme, is instead present as a jazz motif with solo sax (A2), trumpet (A6) and clarinet (B2). Bruno Nicolai has also composed evocative suspenseful atmospheres with organ and rhythmic effects to describe the spy side of the plot (A3, A7, B6) and tracks that would perfectly fit in a nightclub context (A8, B5, B7).
