I don't know much about this album or the artist but I sure know one thing.....This is Crime Jazz in the traditional mould! Although this release dates as the 90's I presume these recordings are from around the early 60's or if not have been re-created with superb authenticity. Take a trip back to the Golden-Age with these swinging jazz greats!
Here we present a good old-fashioned "Double-Feature" starring Bogey himself. Included here is the original movie soundtrack featuring dialogue, music & effects. Also included is the radio play which also features all the original cast and finally as a bonus there is a related radio play called "Casbah" starring Tony Martin.
This is the "Lux Radio Theatre" presentation of "The Third Man" originally transmitted in 1951. This stars Orson Wells and is essentially the movie in "sound". The play runs for an hour and is sponsored by Lux Soap. Step back in time and enjoy the mystery!
Thanks to Paul for sharing this rip of the Roy Budd score to The Wild Geese. Although not quite as groovy as his other scores featured here on The Lounge this is still a great soundtrack.
Forget The Deer Hunter! This is one of Stanley Myers' finest moments. Presented here after a 30 year hiatus is the wonderfully groovy score to the 1971 British crime thriller starring Oliver Reed, Jill St John, Edward Woodward and Ian McShane. If you like the work of Roy Budd you'll probably like this one too!
Lemoncat has sent over this LP rip of the first Bond film soundtrack. Although ALL the James Bond soundtracks can be found over on our "Bond Pages" this is the mono version, sounding just like it did in the cinema back in '62.
Thanks to our regular contributor Lemoncat from "Grooves of Delight" we now have another welcome addition to the Roland Shaw catalogue. Second only to John Barry himself, Roland Shaw had a wonderful way of arranging and presenting not only the usual main themes but also some lesser-known incidental tracks from the Bond movies. Sit back and let the master entertain you!
Here we have the "Big Sound of Billy Strange His Guitar & Orchestra" playing a variety of Film themes including swinging versions of Born Free, Alfie, Georgy Girl, a great version of "In Like Flint" and of course a couple of Bond themes. A first class collection all the way!
