Vinyl for Sale: Ascenseur Pour l’échafaud (Lift to the Scaffold) Soundtrack LP

album, editorial, For Sale, Soundtracks, , , , , , ,



Moody, desperate, and tragic, Miles Davis plays his trumpet to clips of the movie Ascenseur Pour l’échafaud (Lift to the Scaffold). Louis Malle’s  film noir outing is credited for advertising the beauty Jeanne Moreau to future directors of The New Wave.

The soundtrack follows her character around Paris at night as she searches for any news of her absent lover.

She’s involved in a murder plan, first involving, then complicated by a building closing down for the weekend. The thriller, also called Elevator to the Gallows, makes one wistful for some aspects of Paris in the ’50s. In this story, people actually weren’t keen on keeping the office open all the time.

The French in the ’50s were keen on Jazz. French film directors had a great time using  the art form for ambiance in night club scenes, to build energy in car chases, and to highlight the emotions of their stars.

Later in this clip, Louis Malle, the director, is interviewed about, Miles as a  music innovator and the icon’s participation in the film. This interview doesn’t include subtitles. Anyone can tell by his body language, Malle is more than pleased with the progress. They’re on the way to a great movie with an amazing soundtrack.



Turntabling has a vinyl LP copy of the 2010 reissue of Ascenseur Pour L’échafaud (Lift to the Scaffold) for sale –first come, first served.

Teenage Fanclub and Jad Fair – Words of Wisdom and Hope Vinyl LP

album, editorial, For Sale, Turntabling Records, , , ,


Can intense jangle pop brighten and revive the world? Testing this question with Words of Wisdom and Hope on the turntable is great place to start the research. Teenage Fanclub and Jad Fair introduced a collection in 2002 of mighty  love songs. This album pours out the phrase turns that bring the goods when it comes to making the listener feel gushy all over.

You may not be in love, but you are loved. Here’s the proof.

I don’t know much about either the band Teenage Fanclub or Jad Fair as separate artists.  Crush on You is the first cut I heard and I really enjoy where it goes.

Jad Fair’s ‘singing’ is more  of  a talking to the loved one (you). Listening to someone so confident in the adoration department is initially unnerving. Millions of song say, “You’re interesting and I want to know you”. This song states, “I know you better than you know yourself. You’re the most and everything is over the top because of you.” Any counter arguments will not be addressed in this song or the rest of the album.  Bask in this, only the facts over some sweet music about your greatness.

In Search of Weird Vinyl: Bowel and Bladder Training LP

editorial

The Turntabling Collection–an ever growing pile of strange, unusual, rare and hard-to-find LPs–is in dire need of MORE inexplicably strange vinyl records. In particular, I am searching high and low for bizarre medical vinyl records like the one I stumbled across while searching for bad album covers a while back. Look closely, this is NOT a Wayne Newton record.

I am actively purchasing weird records like this. If you own strange vinyl of any description, do get in touch via email: orders@turntabling.net to sell them.

I’m in search of medical LPs, self-hypnosis, oddball vinyl with freakish album covers, dirty/pornographic vinyl, and much more. Please get in touch to sell us your bizarre LPs–we are serious about our weirdness here.
