How To Save A Marriage & Ruin Your Life
LP (Item 55155) Columbia, 1968 — Condition: Very Good+
Related searches
A great little soundtrack from Michel Legrand – an early American effort, done for a less-remembered Dean Martin film! The title track features vocals from the Ray Conniff singers, who sweeten up Legrand's sound a bit more than usual – but other tracks are instrumentals, and have a sprightly orchestral sound that's really great – possibly a bit less "French" than other Legrand scores, but still pretty wonderful. The theme that runs through all tunes is great, and handled on a variety of woodwinds and piano throughout. Titles include "The Sunnyside", "Punch & Judy Waltz", "Winds Of Change", "S'Il Vous Plait Bossa Nova", "Main Theme In Jazz", and "Thinking Voices". © 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.

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.

A pretty nice little soundtrack from a period when Columbia was sneaking out some great material in the genre!

Bronson's back on the streets in this sequel to Death Wish – but fortunately, he's got Jimmy Page there to back him up!

Quest For FireRCA, 1981. Near Mint- Gatefold
Philippe Sarde's sophisticated score for the film La Guerre Du Feu – also known as Quest For Fire – music that's a fair bit more modern than the prehistoric setting of the movie!

AVA, 1962. Near Mint-
Side one of this LP isn't much to write home about – dramatic orchestral music, written by Mark Lawrence, and conducted by Norman Paris – dark stuff to accompany the film in the title. Side two is great, though – jazzy "impressions" of the main themes, played by a group ... LP, Vinyl record album

Amityville HorrorCasablanca, 1979. Near Mint-
A pretty tense score – especially for Lalo Schifrin, who we normally know for his groovier soundtracks! Lalo's working here in a mode that's quite like some of the best 70s Italian horror scores – lots of turgid orchestral passages moving slowly, with dramatic flourishes that are ...
