FILM SOUNDTRACKS

CDSML 8450

James Clarke & Steve Gray

James Clarke's original soundtrack from the film 'Hardcore'
(1977)

Selected cues from Steve Gray's original soundtrack for the film

'Exposé' (aka 'The House on Straw Hill') (1975)

Suite from James Clarke's original soundtrack for the film 'Let's
Get Laid!' (1977)

This exciting Vocalion release brings together the original soundtracks
from three classic 1970s British soft-core sex films, each of which
starred 1970s glamour-puss Fiona Richmond, the then girlfriend of
self-proclaimed King of Soho, Paul Raymond. This X-rated trilogy was
directed by library music legend James Clarke, the man responsible for
some of the finest – and funkiest – compositions in the catalogues
of publishers such as KPM, Amphonic Music and Bruton Music. The disc
kicks off with James's beautiful, colourful score for 1977's
'Hardcore', which purported to tell the lascivious life story of
Fiona Richmond. The music ranges from the most exquisite romantic
orchestral material (Tale of Two Girls, Tricky Hand) to Fender
Rhodes-laden jazzy funk (Heavy Keyboard, Fruity and On Stage), all
performed by a star-studded line-up of British session musicians
including Barry Morgan (drums), Herbie Flowers (bass guitar), Steve Gray
(keyboards) and Tristan Fry (percussion). The disc is completed by
various cues from Steve Gray's hauntingly beautiful score for 1975's
'Exposé', which also starred Udo Kier and Linda Hayden, and a suite
of music drawn from James Clarke's lush, orchestral score for 1977's
'Let's Get Laid!', which paired Fiona Richmond with sex comedy
star Robin Askwith.

This is the first time that any of this music has been commercially
released, and all of it has been expertly remastered from the original
analogue stereo tapes, for that trademark Vocalion crystal-clear sound.
The accompanying booklet contains fascinating liner notes by James
Clarke, as well as rare unseen photographs and original promotional
material connected with the films.

David Gold 'Big City Suite' (KPM, 1977)

Alan Hawkshaw, Brian Bennett, Keith Mansfield, John Cameron, James
Clarke et al

KPM 1000 Series Compilation (1972-78)

This release marks Vocalion's third compilation of music taken from
the archives of KPM, the world's leading library music company. As
with the previous titles in this series, the focus is on the funky
'70s, and this release opens with arranger-composer David Gold's
superb 'Big City Suite', originally recorded in 1977 and issued in
KPM's legendary 1000 Series. Blending funk and jazz with exquisite
orchestral writing, it is a superb evocation of city life in all its
aspects, and was recorded in Dublin using some of Ireland's finest
jazz and session musicians. The remainder of the disc comprises some of
the best tracks from the KPM 1000 Series, recorded between 1972 and
1978, by the cream of the company's composers. Among the many delights
are Steve Gray's Theme for A Hunter (1975), Nick Ingman's Open Roads
(1978), John Cameron's Four O'Clock Earthquake and Smokey Joe's
Dilemma (1972), Alan Hawkshaw & Brian Bennett's Dossier (1976) and
Alto Glide (1974), Keith Mansfield's The Fix and Snake Hips (1976),
and much more besides.

The accompanying booklet contains tributes to the late Robin Phillips
(1939-2006) – head of KPM during the 1960s and '70s – written by
Keith Mansfield, Alan Hawkshaw, James Clarke, David Gold and Peter Cox,
KPM's Creative Director. Not only do their tributes offer a
fascinating insight into Robin's life and career, but also to KPM
itself in the 1970s. The booklet features several photographs of various
KPM composers, taken during the 1960s and '70s. All the music here is
on CD for the first time, and has been remastered from the original
analogue stereo tapes.

Shakatak

'Night Birds' (1982)

& Bonus 12-inch singles: Go for It (1982) & Fly the Wind re-mix (1983)

Shakatak are the most successful group to have emerged from the UK's
late 1970s/early '80s jazz-funk scene. From their early days
performing at jazz-funk 'all-dayers' and 'weekenders' to their
superstar status in the mid-1980s, when they enjoyed a string of Top 40
chart hits, the original line-up – minus Nigel Wright (keyboards) and
Keith Winter (guitar) – of Bill Sharpe (keyboards), George Anderson
(bass guitar), Roger Odell (drums) and Jill Saward (vocals) remains
intact. This Vocalion release comprises 'Night Birds', their second
album and the one that really put them on the map, as well as two tracks
previously only available on 12-inch singles. 'Night Birds'
established Shakatak's trademark smooth and sophisticated jazz-funk
sound, and contains two of the band's biggest hits, Easier Said than
Done and Night Birds, the former reaching the No.12 spot in 1981, the
latter climbing to No.9 in the following year. The album also features
contributions from the late Dick Morrisey, one of the greatest
saxophonists the UK has produced, whose sultry, elegant solos are
featured on Streetwalkin' and Light on My Life. The vocal trio of Jill
Saward, Lorna Bannon and Jackie Rawe are on hand to add atmospheric
vocal lines (particularly so in the title track, Easier Said than Done,
Bitch to the Boys and Fly the Wind), while George Anderson's 'slap
bass' provides a grooving, funky foundation throughout. Rounding off
this superb reissue are Go for It, a bright instrumental originally
issued on the B-side of the 1982 Streetwalkin' 12-inch single, and Fly
the Wind re-mix, an extended version of the 'Night Birds' album
track and originally issued on the B-side of the 1983 single If You
Could See Me Now. Remastered from the original analogue stereo tapes.

Stan Butcher

'Magician' (1979)

Originally released on the Hobo label in 1979, 'Magician' is by far
the hippest, funkiest, jazziest album made by British arranger-composer
Stan Butcher. It's a superb example of the sophisticated jazz-fusion
style prevalent at the end of the 1970s, expertly blending elements of
jazz, funk and rock into one coherent and exhilarating whole. Recorded
at London's famous Morgan Studios in January 1978, the album features
a stellar line-up of British jazz/session musicians including Barry
Morgan (drums), Fiachra Trench (Fender Rhodes), Barbara Thompson
(saxes/reeds), Les Hurdle and Mo Foster (bass guitar) and Ray Russell
(guitar). In fact, 'Magician' is intrinsically linked to Morgan
Studios because the Hobo label was owned and run by Morgan's co-owner
Monty Babson (who also produced 'Magician'), while Monty's
business partners Leon Calvert (trumpet) and Barry Morgan were in the
band heard on the album. The music ranges from the laidback, streetwise
grooves of House of the Purple Mist and Musk to the joyous up-tempo funk
of Playground and Morass, all of which are ignited by Barry Morgan's
superlative drumming. Each track features Barbara Thompson's lithe,
virtuosic tenor sax and/or flute solos, while the 5/4 groove of Bazaar
is a showcase for her suitably exotic 'throat flute'
extemporisations. First time on CD and remastered from the original
analogue stereo tapes.

Turning Point

'Creatures of the Night' (1977) & 'Silent Promise' (1978)

Turning Point was one of the finest British jazz-rock ensembles of the
mid-late 1970s, co-founded by leading British bassist Jeff Clyne and
vocalist Pepi Lemer. Jeff has an extremely distinguished pedigree in the
world of jazz, having played in groups led by Stan Tracey, Tubby Hayes
and Dudley Moore, and on film scores by greats such as Roy Budd
(1972's 'Fear is the Key' being a fine example). Having started
out as an acoustic bassist, in the late 1960s/early '70s Jeff switched
over to bass guitar (although not exclusively) and began exploring the
possibilities offered by the jazz-rock genre. Following stints in
jazz-rock outfits including trumpeter Ian Carr's Nucleus and guitarist
Gary Boyle's Isotope, in 1976 he formed the five-piece Turning Point
with Pepi Lemer, the line-up featuring keyboardist Brian Miller, who had
played alongside Jeff in Isotope. Turning Point cut their first album,
'Creatures of the Night', in 1977 for the Gull label, followed the
next year by 'Silent Promise', and Vocalion is proud to present them
here on CD for the first time. Both are shining examples of just how
exciting and creative jazz-rock could be in the hands of musicians such
as those who made up Turning Point. Among the many highlights throughout
these albums are the futuristic grooves of Rain Dance, Mirror Mirror,
Queen of the White E, Princess Aura and Green Tranquillity, all of which
feature the inspired improvisations and musicianship of Jeff and Pepi,
Brian Miller, David Tidball (saxes) and Paul Robinson (drums).
Remastered from the original analogue stereo tapes.
