Notes on 10-LP: DIMENSIONI SONORE (1972) (Part 2)

The same 103 tracks released on 6CD:
Sound Dimensions, Music for Images and Imagination – GDM Hillside 2065 – Italy – 2006 link / link
Front of booklet: jpg
Morricone's 50 tracks on CDs 1 to 3. – Nicolai's 53 tracks on CDs 4 to 6.

All 103 'Dimensioni sonore' pieces are separately registered with copyright agency SIAE.
At SIAE each track is credited to both Ennio Morricone and Bruno Nicolai, but the 10 LPs assign every piece to its alleged composer.
Regarding the Alberto De Martino movies, Ennio Morricone said: "We (Morricone and Nicolai) even decided to share credit in those cases in which one or the other authored the whole score." (In His Own Words, page 83)

The 10-LP 'Dimensioni sonore' project is in reality a 12-LP project. Around the same time, on a different label, two additional LPs were released, having the same type of music and track titles.
Again, SIAE ascribes all tracks to both Ennio Morricone and Bruno Nicolai, while the 11th LP solely credits Morricone and the 12th LP credits Nicolai.
