• 1. Pastures Of Plenty
• 2. Notte Infinita

First pressing since 1962 of this legendary, even mythical Morricone/Peter Tevis single. It is the music that was to become a fistful of dollars a few years later!

Originally written and released by Woody Guthrie in 1947, this cover version of Pastures Of Plenty by Pete Tevis – a Californian folk singer living in Rome in 1962 – was arranged by Ennio Morricone. A few years later, Sergio Leone wanted Morricone to score his up and coming western called A Fistful Of Dollars. Legend has it Morricone wrote some music, Leone hated it. Morricone then played him this old single. Leone wanted this music but with a new melody over the top. The rest is film music history.
