YOU ARE BIDDING ON THE ORIGNAL SOUNSTRACK FOR SWEPT AWAY (1975).

This is an Original Motion Picture Soundtrack LP by Piero Piccioni from the Lina Wertmuller movie entitled  Swept Away.

Swept Away (full English title: Swept Away by an Unusual Destiny in the Blue Sea of August, full Italian title: Travolti da un insolito destino nell'azzurro mare d'agosto) is a 1974 Italian film written and directed by Lina Wertmüller. It is a study in romance and class welfare. ~per Wikipedia

Review:  Piero Piccioni may not have had the name recognition of his contemporary and countryman Ennio Morricone, but he wrote his share of notable film scores, of which this one -- for Lina Wertmuller's Swept Away (not that abysmal remake starring Madonna) -- is one of the choicest. An almost dream-like, surreal quality pervades this score, with its long, languid melodic lines and lush orchestral passages -- interspersed with gorgeous acoustic guitar sections and organ cadenzas -- that flow off of this soundtrack. The music manages to encompass jazz, samba and classical material with astonishing effectiveness, haunting and moody throughout. The resulting album, which has been largely unheard and unavailable during the CD era, is almost as substantial a listening experience as the movie was to watch. It was a keeper in 1975 and an instant classic, which it remains more than three decades on.  ~ per Bruce Eder, All Music Guide
