Bedazzled

bedazzled-lp.jpg

Original movie soundtrack to “Bedazzled” written by and starring Peter Cook and Dudley Moore. Produced and Directed by Stanley Donen. Also featuring Raquel Welch “as Lust”.

One of the grooviest soundtracks of the late 60s! The film Bedazzled‘s gotten a lot of attention in recent years — thanks to a so-so remake — but the original film’s far far better, if only for this fab soundtrack! The music was handled by Dudley Moore, one of the stars of the film — and it’s a great mix of jazzy numbers, groovier tunes, and a few wild vocal tracks with a mad mad sound! Among these are the fuzzy-breakbeat classic “Bedazzled” and Peter Cook’s mad rocker “Love Me”. Other tracks are a perfect blend of styles that recall the best of Henry Mancini or Neal Hefti from the same time — and titles include “The Millionaire”, “Moon Time”, “Strip Club”, “Sweet Mouth”, and “Cornfield”, a lively jazzy groover!   – Dusty Groove
