There was a year’s delay before this film, which concerns the mysterious death of a fictional ’60s rock star, took off via video and cable TV, but when it did, the soundtrack album, featuring such songs as “On the Dark Side” and “Tender Years” by John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band, took off with it. To most, the songs sounded like Bruce Springsteen clones, but the music was appealing nonetheless.

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical adaptation of Gaston Leroux’s 1911 gothic mystery novel The Phantom of the Opera proved to be at least the composer’s second most successful project, behind only Cats, and with the potential to outdo even that blockbuster.

The idea of Barbra Streisand making an album of movie songs is a no-brainer; as annotators Jay Landers and Richard Jay-Alexander point out, she has already recorded over 50 songs written for motion pictures on her 59 previous albums. In fact, the only real challenge may be a marketing one for Columbia Records, since potential customers simply may assume this is a compilation of some of her previous performances.

The first time Erich Kunzel & the Cincinnati Pops made a symphonic Halloween album, they called it Chiller. Now that a sequel has come from the haunted house — er, the Cincinnati Music Hall — they merely state what they hope will be the obvious, Scary Music. But this time, Kunzel doesn’t raid the classical music field for material, preferring to stick with film music, television ditties, and the Top 40.

You see it over and over in the annals of record collecting. Some marketing whiz in the front office has an idea to cash in on a fad by releasing ‘product’ as quickly as possible. But the artist(s) hired for the project decide not to phone it in, and take things in a direction all their own. The result: a weirdly wonderful collision of the commercial and creative prized by crate diggers across the globe. Such an album is Milton Delugg & His Orchestra’s Music for Monsters, Munsters, Mummies & Other TV Fiends. Recorded in 1964, at a time when commercial TV saw no less than three comedy series (The Munsters, The Addams Family, and Bewitched) featuring supernatural/horror themes make their network premieres Continue reading “Milton DeLugg And His Orchestra – Music For Monsters, Munsters, Mummies & Other TV Fiends (1964) [2019, Limited Edition, CD-Quality + Hi-Res Vinyl Rip]”

Although this hit soundtrack was recorded with cheap ’70s synthesizers, the simple scores composed by John Carpenter are acclaimed masterpieces. Carpenter sets the mood for his horrific movie with such tracks as “The Shape Stalks,” “Laurie’s Theme,” and, of course, his main theme, which consists of the beating out of a 5-4 rhythm. A definite first pick for those interested, this soundtrack even bests most scary music albums.
