Okay, I'm calling on you, Morguees and Morguettes. I just came across this and I am having trouble figuring out what exactly it is. The picture to your left was attached to it, but I don't think that is the actual cover. It was listed as a Fistful of Dollars/For A Few Dollars More soundtrack, but I can't get the tracklist to match up with anything on Soundtrack Collector. Maybe it's on there, there were like 30 various releases for For A Few Dollars More alone, I got a bit winded reading them all frankly.
UPDATE - SCORE IDENTITY VERIFIED
Okay, so as a couple of my readers have filled me in on, this is in fact Ennio Morricone's music to the films A Fistful of Dollars and For A Few Dollars More. The first 8 tracks are from Fistful of Dollars and the last 8 tracks are from For A Few Dollars More. If you download it, the track called La Resa dei Conti should actually be called "Sixty Seconds to What?", or whatever that would be in Italian, so just change that when you are done downloading it. So thanks alot guys, I give an Air High Five to you both.
Sorry guys, someone didn't think I should be posting this one since it's available on Amazon (for around $40, yikes). I wasn't sure if keeping it up would lead to a narc situation and I didn't want to risk anything happening to The Morgue.

I can confirm this is the soundtrack for Fistful of Dollars (tracks 1-8) and For a Few Dollars More (tracks 9-16). The track mistitled "La Resa dei Conti" is actually called Sixty Seconds to What? on english CDs and comes from For a Few Dollars More. Bill

that's a link to the japanese import version showing track listing. it is confusing with so many versions & there being a film with the same track title. of course the mixture of italian & english titles confuses matters further. i find identifying & recalling names of themes very frustrating, although i'm a morricone fanatic & i recognise themes by ear, i often cannot put a name to them, like recognising a face but not knowing the persons name. obviously because the music usually has no lyrics (and in english) there is nothing there for your memory to put a name to the music. how many people can identify the titles of 100's of classical pieces? yet we can recall thousands of popular song titles because they have lyrics to identify them.
La Resa dei Conti is "the settling of accounts" and crops up a few times as a track name in Morricone's western scores, beyond the film of that name.
appropriate that the phrase "settling the score" should be a generic song title...westerns are about settling scores & little else.
The only thing that I can match this up to is this on Soundtrack Collector. Disc 1 of a two disc set. Based on your tracks, it might be this one:
