Roy Budd: Get Carter

June 25, 2009 Featured, album No Comments

Morricone rightfully gets a ton of respect for his soundtracks, but by comparison fellow soundtrack wizard Roy Budd is woefully underrated. Check out this trailer for Get Carter, which features great soundtrack sounds by Budd throughout. Budd has a nice double disc set featuring some of his best work.

Get Budd: The Soundtracks is a worthy investment if you love those 60s action/heist/gangster movie sounds, or if you want to see what else Budd got up to after Get Carter. The movie itself is excellent, Michael Caine really tops himself in this…he’s the prototype for Bruce Willis, Stallone, even Arnold had to take some cues from Caine in this film.

Chuck Norris is a toffee-nosed stripling compared to Caine in Get Carter…Nobody in the entire world comes as close. Standout moments in the trailer include the totally naked Caine chasing a couple of gangsters out of his room with a shotgun…let’s see Norris try THAT. On second thought, maybe not.

Russ Meyer Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! Picture Disc Vinyl LP

April 10, 2011

Russ Meyer’s Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! is a classic of the drive-in exploitation genre.  As the trailer says, “The sweetest kittens have the sharpest claws.” My favorite line from the movie, asked by a crotchety desert-dweller; “You girls a bunch of nudists or are you just…short of clothes?” How can you possibly go wrong with [...]

Game of Death Soundtrack LP by John Barry

April 8, 2011

The Game of Death soundtrack by John Barry is just plain awesome. John Barry is a Turntabling favorite thanks to a Morricone-esque sensibility when it comes to blending symphonic instruments with a more mod 60s/70s groove. Barry had a hand in some of the best-known soundtracks of the day, including Bond films, that goofy 70s [...]

The Grasshopper Original Soundtrack LP Jacqueline Bisset

April 8, 2011

There is something about those 60s and 70s movies with sex themes that some–Turntabling including–really love. The plot of The Grasshopper is pretty standard stuff, the progression of a liberated woman through sexually challenging scenarios and general life drama. But these movies always have a certain something (and plenty of enjoyable cheese to boot) that [...]

To Live and Die In LA Original Soundtrack Wang Chung

April 7, 2011

Say what you will about the rest of Wang Chung’s output in the 80s.  This soundtrack is top notch–a doomy-yet-pop-friendly piece of moody synth goodness that matches the nihilism of the movie.
To Live And Die In LA was a William Friedkin cops-gone-bad actionfest and while the years have not been kind to the film, it [...]
