Albert Elms - Man In A Suitcase (Soundtrack, 1967)

Well, back again.   Can't believe it was Christmas when I last posted anything. 

Anyway, this is the excellent vinyl release of Man in a Suitcase, my favourite TV show from the 60s.  The well-known main theme was written by Ron Grainer, but the rest of the music from the series was written by the wonderful Albert Elms.

I'll try and crack on with the broken link requests over the next few days.

Peter Appleyard - Percussive Jazz (1960)

"In a recording with so many varied percussive sounds, there is a violent interaction between the stylus and the abruptly changing route taken by the walls of the record grooves..."  Well, that's what it says on the back of the sleeve anyway.  I'll leave you to judge whether this record is a little too dangerous to listen to.

You have been warned!

EDIT:  Files now fixed and in true stereo.

Ralph Ferraro - Let's Dance To The Movies (1965)

I've only had this album for a week and it's already become a firm favourite, particularly the first track,  L'Onuri Di Ascaluni.   Big thanks for David.

I've had a numberof requests to fix broken links.  I'll get onto that as soon as I can.

Roberto Pregadio and Romano Mussolini - Satanik (1966)

Again, more apologies for the lack of posts.  This is another excellent soundtrack from Roberto Pregadio and Romano Mussolini.  Had a  lot of positive comments about Kriminal so hopefully you'll enjoy this one just as much.  Once again it's recorded from a picture disc so the quality isn't as good as it could be, but it's worth it.  

Roberto Pregadio and Romano Mussolini ‎- Kriminal Soundtrack (1966)

Well after another hiatus I'm back with this thrilling soundtrack from Roberto Pregadio and Romano Mussolini and the 1966 film, Kriminal.  This wasn't available at the time and was recently released on vinyl and CD (which has more tracks).  This is the vinyl version, of course, but is pressed as a picture disc so the quality isn't as good, but is still a treat.

Here's Sequence One.

I'll post another of their soundtracks soon.

Piero Umiliani - Una Bella Grinta (1965)

Superb jazz-lounge soundtrack from Piero Umiliani.

Una Bella Grinta

Happy New Year!

Dave Pike - Jazz For The Jet Set (1966)

Apologies once again for the lack of posts.  Sometimes life gets in the way of the fun stuff.

I'll catch up on the repost requests when I get chance.

Erroll Garner - A New Kind Of Love (1963)

Beautiful record.  Here's the title track.

Brasilia Nueve - How Insensitive (1967)

One of my absolute favourite albums and a truly remarkable lineup of New York's finest including Bill Potts and Zoot Sims.  Mine is a mono copy and I've been looking for a stereo copy for years, so if you have one, let me know.

Here's a Bill Potts' original, Brasilville.

Si Zentner & His Orchestra - Desafinado (1962)

Apologies once again for lack of posts.  Hopefully, I'll get back on track now.

Bernie's Tune

Milt Jackson - Spanish Fly (1964)

Lalo Schifrin - Bossa Nova - New Brazilian Jazz (1963)

Bud Shank - Magical Mystery (1968)

A bit itchy and scratchy, but a nice LP.

George Shearing - Strolling (1965)

Strolling

Laurie Holloway Quartet - Hit Parade Holloway Style (1966)

Jazzy takes on hits from the fantastic Laurie Holloway.

Roy Budd - Pick Yourself Up (1967)

Nice little album produced by Tony Hatch.  Includes an early version of The Girl From Southend-on-Sea.  There's a superior version on Budd 'n' Bossa.

Jay Norman Quintet - The Cocktail Hour (1963)
