You're a good influence Tim

Bit off time off today (thank god!) to catch up with the blog, and spin this bunch of recent beauties:

Well, I'd heard from people that it was eclectic (and very good)...and they weren't whistlin' dixie! Really great stuff! Like Manson meets West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band (which is, like, very high praise from me
Mind boggling.

Pay attention, everyone - THIS is how you do an OST on wax! Amazing liner notes, stunning score....and I lucked out with the zombie flesh vinyl yay!

These first two (of five) horror score 7"s by Finders Keepers are seriously good - get 'em!

Coulda gone for the AMS reissue, but plumped for a battered old Italian original instead - the lp is mint however.

Finally! The beloved JG is all over side two, and there's some crappy 80s pop on side one ("Quarterflash"??!). Seriously joyful stuff.

And again....finally! Love the film so much, and in between a bunch of truly dreadful MOR rockers ("White Sister"!!??) there's some
great tunes on here (Devo, Sparks, Evelyn King...) Bloody mint condition all round too, whoop whoop!

Japanese pressing. Lovely JB score. Film is a stinker I believe

Belated Happy All Hallow's Eve to you all! :O

static14 - After sending your Phantasm I had to break mine out - Love an OST with a disco interlude!

[hncreature]

...and I thought it was just me about ROOM 237

My favorite was the Kubrick in the clouds bit...riiiiiight?!?!?

...OK so I rewound...

[static14]

I have to admit I wasn't sure how much I was gonna like it but it's a super fun re-recording all around. Different enough from the original tracks to make them very interesting. As always the quality of the pressing and sleeve are both top notch. DW is batting 1000 as far as I'm concerned!

Nice choice static, More is a cracking soundtrack that I've not heard in ages! Now if I can remember which room/shelf...

[DISCOSUCKS...]

Love this.

Great underrated film too, with Nicholson actually underplaying!!

Just spinning the OST to Space 1999 by the estimable Barry Gray & Orchestra ... and it's a bloody winner!
Remember the funky disco theme very well from childhood, but the rest of the lp is full of equally sassy
70s sci-fi goodness....

Oh heck yes!

And here it is:

Have a great weekend y'all!

Killer stuff Disco!

[Oiche]

@Disco - I love that third ear band OST, really bends your head!

[Oiche]

Really enjoyed the Dr Who documentary on BBC last night. Spend a nice chill Sunday listening to all Who related records. Was especially surprised at how good the soundtrack by Murray Gold is, which I'd listened to for the first time. Would definitely recommend that 2lp of which there's only 350 copies. Still in stock at http://www.piccadillyrecords.com/

[tonyandrewgiles]

Disco - where did the Batman theme record come from bud?

[dannybos]

It's at Norman, by far the vinyl tempting me and taunting me at the moment. Just can't justify the shipping all by itself.

[tonyandrewgiles]

Thanks Dannybos - One time where being in the UK works well on shipping!

[DISCOSUCKS...]

Tony and Danny -- can't recommend this highly enough!

[DISCOSUCKS...]

The only thing that's weird is the omission of the version by Dan & Dale (aka members of the Sun Ra Arkestra and Blues Project....) That's an absolute killer! (listen to Ra hammer that Hammond!)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSVhUBH98Oo

[DISCOSUCKS...]

Funny enough Tony, I see you mentioned Milque & Muhle records in another thread - that's where I got the Batman comp from!

[tonyandrewgiles]

Really? I'm heading back this weekend so may see if they can get another before I order from Normans.

Odd that it's missing the Sun Ra Arkestra version but luckily I picked up that album earlier this year

[maxvelvet]

I need this Batman vinyl only if features the Voivod version!

Batman shreds!!

[DrRhythm]

I've been playing the Diva soundtrack today - it was the first soundtrack I ever bought (early 80s) and is a great piece of work - not horror of course!

[DISCOSUCKS...]

Some nice arrivals from the tinternet this week - and some time off this weekend to spin:

Trunk performs his usual humanitarian service by releasing this amazing cult oddity, a private press soundtrack
to an ultra obscure outsider movie from Texas. Had this as MP3 for years and dreamed of being rich enough to be able to afford one of the original press......thanks Jonny!

Playing an 80s soundtrack set tonight - research yo!

And don't ask me how I've managed to live 'til now without this masterpiece in my collection...sublimeness

Have a great weekend guys!
