WIthout checking thoroughly - I don’t think I posted these & don’t recall others. Likely due to the fact that neither are essential listening. 
Ennio Morricone
I Malamondo (1964)
Senza Sapere Niente di Lei (1969)

Let’s not forget Ennio…it’s been a while. 
Ennio Morricone
Il Serpente (1973)
Not an essential release by any stretch…It’s a mixture of some ‘easy listening’ amongst some mostly orchestrated sound effect type music (bring on the tension), along with a cpl of funky tracks.

Some fine artists on this & seems well remastered.
Riz Ortolani, Enrico Rava, Gianni Basso, Oscar Valdambrini, Nunzio Rotondo, Francesco De Masi, Gianni Ferrio etc plus Internationals: Gato Barbieri and Chet Baker.

Really enjoyable listen it was. I will be playing it a lot. Not one lost the tune piece either, which is the gamble I find with Jazz and what puts me off a lot of it.

Sven’s music was once considered the ‘holy grail’ of Australian soundtrack music. Since this compilation full albums have been released where these songs were derived. However, this makes a solid & enjoyable listen of mostly ‘lounge/easy-listening’ tracks.
Edit: 2/5/2022
I should have added that the ‘holy grail’ title was apt. I think I made this release sound rather boring (easy listening), but it just has something beyond bland.

I’m a fan of John Barry. However, unlike his more iconic & better releases (check through this thread), I’m not overly enamoured with this release as a stand-alone listen. Notwithstanding, it may well be that it suits the film. Perhaps the only track that fits the big orchestrated sound Barry is known for is the title track that appears second last on the album. Yet, even that is more about the accompanying viewing (fear/trepidation), than a track unto itself.

Gianni Ferrio
E Divenne Il Piu Spietato Bandito Del Sud (1967)
This ticks just about all the boxes associated with Spaghetti Westerns of the era. Perhaps, what’s missing is a signature track/tune, that the best always contained.

As much as we love Freddy, I think these 2 soundtracks sound rather dated. It’s just that they are way too awash with 80’s synthesizers. However, given the resurgence of this sort of sound with all the vaporwave (and various offshoots) this may indeed find a new audience.
And, aside from anything else, how can there be a soundtrack thread without Freddy (I couldn’t find this posted previously).

I think this stands the test of time way better than dear Freddy unless’ as per prior post’ you’re into that 80’s synth sound.

io, Emmanuelle (1969)
Don’t let the title influence you here, overall this is a fine release, albeit too short (39mins), including the 5 bonus tracks on this remastered edition. Largely what I’d simply file under ‘easy listening’, I do get in some people’s minds that conjure sounds of blandness and little imagery. Perhaps I should say it’s mostly orchestral beat & Italian grooves. And it’s the vocal tracks that I find the standouts here.
