Up The Junction

LP (Item 372675) Mercury, 1968 — Condition: Very Good+
One of the grooviest 60s albums from Manfred Mann – a hip British soundtrack that really lets them stretch out into some hip new styles! The tunes are still mostly in the jaunty jangle pop mode of Manfred Mann singles from the decade – but they've also got a deeper, more cerebral feel at points too – lyrics that get a bit more pensive, mixed with instrumentation that has a cool and groovy feel, and production that's sometimes a little spaced out – in the direction The Hollies were taking at the time. Mike Hugg worked with the group on the record, and he provides some great instrumental passages too – tunes that have bits of mod jazz and other groovy London styles. Titles include "Just For Me", "Love Theme", "Walking Round", "Belgravia", "Sleepy Hollow", "Wailing Horn", and "Up The Junction".  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Very Good + (plus)

  • Vinyl should be very clean, but can have less luster than near mint.
  • Should still shine under a light, but one or two marks may show up when tilted.
  • Can have a few small marks that may show up easily, but which do not affect play at all. Most marks of this quality will disappear when the record is tilted, and will not be felt with the back of a fingernail.
  • This is the kind of record that will play "near mint", but which will have some signs of use (although not major ones).
  • May have slight surface noise when played.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Jerry Butler/Exuma/Bobby Scott

Joe – Original Soundtrack
Mercury, 1970. Very Good+
Very weird soundtrack to this spooky 70s film starring Peter Boyle! Bobby Scott did the score, and it's hipper than most of his other stuff – with a mixture of jazz, groovy, and straight orchestral scoring. Jerry Butler sings vocals on the tracks "Where Are You Going?" and "Yo ... LP, Vinyl record album
Mercury, 1965. Very Good+
An overlooked, but very groovy soundtrack by Quincy Jones! The record has a mix of easy jazz and a few harder-edged themes – dramatic throughout, but with washes of crime jazz, bossa, and some floating easy scoring. Players aren't listed, but you can bet they're the usual high-level crop of ... LP, Vinyl record album

Michel Legrand

Breezy
MCA, 1973. Near Mint-
Breezy indeed – as the record has a light, floating approach that's every bit the best part of Legrand's work in the 70s! The album's mostly instrumentals – strings soaring over slinky bass and sublimated rhythms, in the manner of the best post-60s French soundtracks, occasionally ... LP, Vinyl record album
TV Tunes, 1986. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold
2nd volume in this classic series – with a cool mix of TV themes to cartoons, sitcoms, and spy/crime shows!

LP, Vinyl record album

Carlo Rustichelli

Bebo's Girl
Capitol, Mid 60s. Very Good
A wonderfully groovy score from Carlo Rustichelli – best known to the world for his famous score for Divorce Italian Style, and working here in a style that mixes tight jazzy numbers with sparer themes in kind of a Nino Rota mode! There's some nice organ in the background on some of the best ... LP, Vinyl record album

Jack Nitzsche, Captain Beefheart & Others

Blue Collar – Original Soundtrack
MCA, 1978. Near Mint-
Some choice soundtrack work from Jack Nitzsche's prime 70s period, with a handful other tracks by Howlin' Wolf, Captain Beefhaeart and Ike & Tina Turner. For the most part the soundtrack is bluesy rootsy stuff, to go along with the slant of the film, but there is a great funky break on the ... LP, Vinyl record album

Harry Manfredini/Michael Zager

Friday The 13th
Gramavision, 1982. Very Good+
Kind of a 3-in-1 package – as the album features tunes written for the first 3 of the Friday the 13th films – all of them either electro-slasher type numbers, or dark and moody passages of strings – with an atonal haunting quality that stretches back to Morricone. Included is the ... LP, Vinyl record album
MCA, 1978. Very Good
Stu really surprised us all with this one – working in full orchestral mode on a great set of dramatic themes that almost beats John Williams at his game! The work was scored for the great 70s TV sci fi flick Battlestar Galactica – and overall, most of the tunes are orchestral ones, ... LP, Vinyl record album

Eric Feremans

Antwerp Killer
Finders Keepers (UK), 1983. Near Mint-
A very cool electronic soundtrack for this obscure early 80s slasher film – music that's a lot more complex and sensitive than the usual sounds used for slashers – with a style that reminds us of some of the hippest late 70s music on the Sky Records label! Eric Feremens comes from a ... LP, Vinyl record album

Ensemble Petit/Shunichi Tokura/Master Sounds/Philharmonia Wind Ensemble

SF Battle & Spectacle
Sony (Japan), 1980. Near Mint- 2LP
