This week Truck Records of Britain has released a vinyl single of a pretty interesting song. I'll let the owner of the company explain -
"Peter Tevis, a California singer living in Rome made a single in 1962 with Ennio Morrione, a cover version of a Woody Guthrie song. It was released in Italy and Japan. No one bought it. Three years later Ennio's chum Sergio Leone asked him to write some music for his up and coming film, A Fistful Of Dollars. So he wrote some music, Sergio Leone hated it. So, he asked for something else. Ennio played him "Pastures Of Plenty" from three years earlier. Leone loved it and said that it was the music he wanted, but without the Tevis voice. So, this is the new Trunk single. The classic Tevis single that accidentally began a new chapter in film music. Unreleased since 1962."
And if you just want to here what the song sounds like here it is on the Tube of You -
