Music has been an essential and lasting element of these stories of organised crime, mob violence, corruption and family ties.

This 17 track compilation covers over forty years of the very best themes ranging from 1967 – Bonnie And Clyde to last year’s American Gangster.

Also features the sumptuous music of Nino Rota from The Godfather, Ennio Morricone’s haunting themes from Once Upon A Time In America and The Untouchables and Giorgio Moroder’s full-on music for Scarface.
