One Way Static Records is excited to bring you their latest release: Stelvio Ciprianis iconic motion picture soundtrack for Joe DAmatos 1978 PAPAYA, LOVE GODDESS OF THE CANNIBALS (Papaya dei Caraibi) Once again OWS will be heading deep into cannibal territory with this amazing release for the first time on vinyl.

The late Joe DAmato who directed the film sure was quite the character in horror cinema. Directing over 200 films including Spaghetti westerns, war movies and countless (s)exploitation flicks, DAmato was a force to be reckoned with. His credits include genre classics such as Anthropophagous,Buio Omega AKA Beyond The Darkness, the Emanuelle series, Absurd, Troll 2&3and many, many more. Next to directing, Joe also took to the producer & screenplay writing chair for films like Stage Fright, La Casa 3,4 & 5, Pieces, Ghosthouse, Zombie 5 just to list a few.

Stelvio Cipriani (born 1937) is an Italian composer that actually needs little introduction.

His first soundtrack was the spaghetti western The Bounty Killer in 1966, followed by the well known 1967 score for The Stranger Returns (also known as A Man, a Horse, a Gun and Shoot First, Laugh Last). Cipriani later composed other spaghetti western scores together with many popular police/crime movie soundtracks.

He became prolific in the Italian film world and was awarded a Nastro dArgento for Best Score for The Anonymous Venetian in 1970. One of Ciprianis most famous scores is for the 1973 film La polizia sta a guardare (The Great Kidnapping) and lets not forget his brilliant score for Ruggero Deodatos Concorde Affaire 79.

Horror fans will know Stelvio from his scores for genre favorites like PIECES, Mario Bavos A Bay Of Blood AKA Twitch Of The Death Nerve & Baron Blood, Umberto Lenzis Nightmare City & Voices From Beyond, Sergio Martinos The Great Alligator and James Camerons Pirhana II : The Spawning. We cant even begin to list his many exploitation scores like Sister Emanuelle, Deported Women Of The SS and many more.

In 2007 Cipriani was brought to the publics attention again when Quentin Tarantino used his 1977 main theme for Tentacolli in Death Proof. In a 2007 interview, Cipriani said that he had composed music for Pope John Paul II and was currently working with Pope Benedict XVI.
