MGM/Kritzerland, 1962/1963. New Copy
Two lesser-known scores from Elmer Bernstein – both of them as great as his more familiar work of the time! Love With The Proper Stranger is a beautifully sensitive soundtrack for a film that starred Steve McQueen and Natalie Wood – done by Bernstein with some lightly jazzy woodwinds

United Artists/Kritzerland, 1965/1966. New Copy 2CD
A Neal Hefti double-header – packaged with lots of bonus track too! First up is How To Murder Your Wife – a swinging sex comedy score from the legendary Hefti – not as well-known as some of his big 60s hits, but a wonderfully groovy record throughout! The film itself is a pretty

United Artists/Kritzerland, 1968. New Copy
A great soundtrack for a pretty darn obscure film – the third appearance of Inspector Clouseau, filmed after A Shot In The Dark and The Pink Panther, but featuring Alan Arkin in the title role, instead of Peter Sellers! The score is by Ken Thorne, and is quite different from more familiar

Trunk (UK), 1972. New Copy
A wild biker horror soundtrack – and some really moody stuff! The score is making its first-ever appearance here on record – and is a beautiful batch of short, weird tracks written by Brit jazz man John Cameron! Oddly, though, there's just about no jazz at all on the record –

Kritzerland, 1977. New Copy
A surprisingly sensitive score – especially for a film that was issued as part of a big 70s wave of supernatural thrillers! True, there's some creepy moments in the movie – but Michael Small's music here has a richness that goes beyond the usual demonic and horror styles of the time

Petra (Italy), Late 60s. New Copy
A lost soundtrack treasure from Michel Legrand – the groovy score to a film whose English title is "The Lady In The Car With Glasses & A Gun"! The album's got Legrand working at the height of his 60s soundtrack powers – blending together jazz, jerk, pop, and mod elements

Colgems/Rhino, 1968. New Copy (reissue)
A wonderfully trippy record by The Monkees, and the soundtrack to their equally trippy film from the late 60s. The music's like nothing else they ever did, and the record's a post-Sgt. Pepper's collage of sounds from the movie, weird little spoken bits, and delightfully psychedelic songs.

MGM/Kritzerland, 1967/1982. New Copy
Two lost scores – packaged together on a single CD! First up is Billion Dollar Brain, composed by Richard Rodney Bennett – done for an obscure late 60s spy thriller starring Michael Caine, and a really dark soundtrack! Bennett did a fair bit of jazz arranging in his time – and

United Artists, 1965. Very Good-
The classic Burt Bacharach score for What's New Pussycat – a mid 60s sex-farce starring Peter Sellers and Peter O'Toole! The album features some amazing vocal tracks that have become enduring classics – like "What's New Pussycat?" sung by Tom Jones, "Here I Am" sung

CBS (Israel), 1973. Very Good- Gatefold
Sweet Israeli jams! A modern day musical ripe with samples and funky, funky tunes, mostly done in a cop show chase vibe complete with wah-wah guitars, electric pianos, and orchestrated strings with at least one monster bongo break within! Titles include "Overture", "Chassidic
...
|
Virgin/EMI, 1986. Very Good
A great snapshot of jazzy London in the years before the acid jazz explosion of the late 80s – and a surprisingly great soundtrack that's stood the test of time much more than the actual film! The music here represents a jazz-based undercurrent of the London scene that was already turning
...
|
MGM, Mid 60s. Sealed
A great little spy spoof soundtrack – up there with the best of the 60s, with a sound that's a lot hipper than anything else Steve Allen has ever done! The music was written by Allen, but arranged and conducted by Ronald Stein – and it's got a groovy "Our Man Flint" kind of
...
|
Vista, 1979. Very Good+
Cool Barry score for this spacey 70s film – Disney's attempt to cash in on the Star Wars action, but not nearly as successful as some of the other hits at the time. Titles include "Laser", "Into The Hole", "Zero Gravity", "Six Robots", and "The
...
|
Tower, Late 60s. Very Good
Classic kitschy biker material from Davie Allan and The Arrows – one of the best-ever groups to play on schlocky soundtracks during the 60s! There's lots of guitar and lots of fuzz – and guessing from the photos of the movie, the music was the best thing about it! Toddler Mike Curb

Pacific Arts, 1981. Very Good+ Gatefold

|
Warner, 1971. Very Good+
One of Michel Legrand's greatest moments of the late 60s – a sweetly romantic score that lasted a lot longer than the film it was written to accompany! The soundtrack features the haunting "Summer Of 42 Theme", also known as "The Summer Knows" – a drifting sad
...
|
United Artists, 1967. Very Good
A great little James Bond soundtrack – written for one of the lesser-remembered Bond films, but filled with nice moments! There's a darker, moodier feel here than on some of Barry's other Bond scores – lots of stretched out tracks that have a bit more space than usual, and odd

United Artists, 1966. Sealed

Warner, Early 60s. Sealed
A pretty basic soundtrack, but with some nice moments by Ortolani – done around the time he recorded the more famous soundtrack for Mondo Cane. The album does have some nice tunes with weird jazzy instrumentation – kind of nightclubby numbers with a mix of jazz and loungey styles
