Soundtracks — LPs  

Herrmann's back in fine form on this mid 70s score for a Brian DePalma thriller – lots of swirling orchestral themes, handled here with a good degree of space, which makes the stronger musical statements really pack a punch! Titles include "Court's Confession", "The Church", "Airport", "Struggle", "The Tomb", "The Ferry", and "The Tape".

An obscure one from the great Riz Ortolani – a travelogue film with a bit of vocals too!

Almost an historical artifact – London recordings by Fred Astaire from the 20s, with Gershwin actually backing him up on piano – and a few tracks feature dancing too! Also features songs from Gay Divorce and Flying Down To Rio.

A totally cool little record – like taking a TV time machine into the past – and stopping off in 60s London on the way! Barry Gray's a name best known for his famous soundtracks – including the music to Thunderbirds – but he's also scored plenty of commercials over the years too – often with the kind of weird, wild, and wonderful sounds used in his other recordings! The package is a great revelation – a whopping selection of over 80 short little numbers – music and songs for companies as diverse as Shell gasoline, Herald Cinema, Quaker Banana Mellows, Ridgeways Country House, Leeside Cakes, and many others – often with a short introduction from Gray, and some cool sound effects too. The Mike Sammes Singers provide vocals on some cuts – and the package is even groovier than usual for Trunk Records – and that's saying a lot!
