A Music Thread

A much-liked film- watched it again the other day- was surprised by how very much better-looking Michael Crichton became as he aged- loved some of the dialogue, the art and design, the camerawork and of course it's one of my fave directors, Robert Wise (also of 'The Haunting' et cetera).

But that soundtrack- amazing and collectable. Gil Melle is the culprit:

Speaking of soundtracks- some of you out there will remember a film from the early 70s called 'Death Line'- a group of cannibals living in an abandoned part of the London Underground and preying on unsuspecting late night travellers... 'Mind The Doors' was the killer's cry... and this is part of Wil Malone's funky soundtrack...

And now one for Al. Big Star and 'Thirteen'..... tee hee.

A Brill Building songwriter responsible for a great many other people's hits, but she also recorded a solo album... Elkie Brooks also covered this.

Ellie Greenwich & 'Sunshine After The Rain' .... kinda Dusty, kinda Sandie....

[molly bloom]

And now one just for Bugs... and that sounds remarkably like Dave Lee Travis enunciating in German....


Reparata & The Delrons !!!!! Yay!!!!

I'm concerned about the lack of tracks with Yiddish in them posted here. So to make amends...

'Mayn Rue Platz' and June Tabor

You can never have enough gloves. Or John Renbourn.

'Faro Annie' from 1971...

Annette Peacock & ' 7 Days'...

Gettin' into the groove with Johnny Pate and 'Brother On The Run.' Mr Pate's music for the film 'Shaft In Africa' was one of the film's few redeeming features...

[molly bloom]

Tambourine heaven... 'There's Gonna Be A Showdown'.... The Rance Allen Group.

It was an era of large belt buckles and water shortages, apparently.

The Box Tops' 'I Pray For Rain'... rather lovely, really.

Another spendy soundtrack. Krzysztof Komeda's 'Pushing The Car' from 'Cul De Sac'. Jazztastic.

How a car crash can interrupt your career's trajectory. Nic Jones and 'Farewell To The Gold'...

A bit of melancholy for contrast...

[molly bloom]

Another funky slice. Johnny Harris. 'Stepping Stones'. Groooveeeeyyyyyyyy.............
