A relatively serious score by John Barry – written for this mid 60s British social film that starred Judy Densch, Ann Lynn, and Norman Rodway.

(Stereo pressing. Cover has a small split on the top left corner and light surface wear.)
A great little James Bond soundtrack – written for one of the lesser-remembered Bond films, but filled with nice moments!

(Cover has a cutout hole and notch, light wear, and aging.)
Elmer Bernstein handled the score for this steamy Hal Wallis romance film from the early 60s, based on a play by Tennessee Williams.

(Mono black label pressing with deep groove. Cover has some wear and aging, half split top seam held with clear tape, some sticker remnants, and a small stain at the bottom left edge.)
Bernstein at his best – coming up with a strong and driving score, written to accompany this great little western that starred Dean Martin and John Wayne!

Claude Bolling —
Awakening ... LP Entracte, 1980. Very Good+ ...

Quite a rich score from Claude Bolling – more orchestral and less jazz-based than some of his other soundtracks of the 70s – but very well suited to this tale of Egyptological horror!

A record that's not only a landmark in Jamaican music – but also a set that was to reggae what Curtis Mayfield's Superfly was to 70s soul!

One of the grooviest Michael Caine spy films of the 60s – given an equally groovy soundtrack by Konrad Elfers!

A mid 80s film that's scored by Dominic Frontiere in a mix of modes – some lofty orchestral pieces that are positively airborne in their sound and structure, with a great sense of American pride and drama – and a few more period pieces to set the scene for the 1920s narrative.
