The great Jack Lemmon as a young man. I’m not sure the film that this is from but it makes me think of his last best role as Shelley Levine in “Glengarry Glen Ross.” “I need those leads!”

“Black Belt Jones” Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1974) Music by Dennis Coffey. Starring Jim “Dragon” Kelly.
“With his funky Afro hairstyle, super cool attitude and superb karate skills, Jim Kelly was instantly identifiable, and one of the top martial arts film stars of the early 1970s. After appearing in a minor film role, Kelly’s second screen effort was as one of the invited guests to the deadly Han’s Island in “Enter the Dragon” (1973). Kelly quickly cropped up in several more martial arts influenced “blaxploitation” films including “Three the Hard Way” (1974), “Golden Needles”(1974) and “Black Belt Jones” (1974), with its interesting fight finale in a soap filled car wash! He then appeared in several other action films of the late seventies, however since 1980, Kelly has only cropped up in two minor roles. A talented athlete, winning ranked titles both in tennis and karate, Jim Kelly was an integral part of the African-American & martial arts cinematic explosion of the 1970s.” — IMDB
Original soundtrack music from the 1974 film “Le Chaud Lapin” (”The hot rabbit” - slang for “fucker” in French). Thanks to Jerome our franco-friend.
German composers Manfred Hubler and Siegfried Schwab (recording as Vampires’ Sound Incorporation) created this groovy soundtrack to accompany Director Franco’s freaked-out vision. “Their crazy sounds are a speed-hopped swinger’s bash of blaring trumpet, booming trombone, slinky organ, and spacy sitar, with a beefy foundation of mod guitar, bass, and drums.” This was included in a 1995 reissue by Crippled Dick records called “Vampiros Lesbos” and became an underground hit.
“This one is from 1966, I loved the series when I was a little boy.” — Kerstan Reineke

Two cover variations for the 1964 release of “Music for Monsters, Munsters, Mummies & Other TV Fiends” The Exciting Sound of Milton Delugg and his Orchestra. Cover illustration by Jack Davis top and the cast of “The Munters” bottom. Both on Epic.
Milton DeLugg is the composer of “Hooray for Santy Claus,” the catchy theme song for the low-budget motion picture Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. In 1958 he produced Buddy Holly’s famous record, “Rave On.” DeLugg enjoyed a long association with Chuck Barris, beginning as arranger of the original theme to The Newlywed Game in 1966. From 1976 to 1980 he was musical director of The Gong Show. DeLugg often appeared on the show as a comic foil, in the characters of bad joke teller Naso Literatus and philosopher Old Drool. DeLugg’s venerable “Hoop Dee Doo” became a fixture on The Gong Show and was used whenever the contest winner was chosen.
From the movie Candy from the book and screenplay by Terry Southern. Candy was played by Ewa Aulin who was a 16-year-old Miss Sweden when she began her career in exploitation cinema, starting with prolific erotic aesthete Tinto Brass’ Deadly Sweet (1967), followed by her breakthrough role as the teen temptress in Giulio Questi’s Death Laid An Egg alongside European mega-stars Gina Lollabrigida and Jean-Louis Trinignant (a role she would re-imagine for The Double (1971). Aulin was unleashed on American audiences with the movie adaptation of Terry Southern’s psychedelic Candy in 1968, where she floated through the muddled incestuous subplot with an endearing naivete. 1972-73 were Aulin’s banner years in terms of onscreen skin, appearing in a few of the better Decamerotics, including My Pleasure is Your Pleasure and Vittorio De Sisti’s Fiorina the Cow, but her piece de resistance - whose steamy lesbian sequence was cut out for American release - was Joe D’Amato’s Death Smiles on A Murderer (1972). In 2002, the German TV doco Ewa Aulin - Die Zeit mit mir als Candy was assembled in tribute to this Swedish nymphette, whose career was brief but momentous.
The Green Hornet with Bruce Lee as Kato. A Japanese single on 20th Century Records from the sixties.
Chinatown (1974). One of the greatest movies ever made! And great poster and soundtrack cover art . Original music by Jerry Goldsmith. Regarding the music:
Chinatown is a 1974 Robert Evans production, starring Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunway and directed by Roman Polanski. Resulting in Goldsmith’s 7th Academy Award nomination, the incredible score was spotted, written, and recorded in only ten days!
Robert Evans had fallen in love with the Bunny Berigan recording of “I Can’t Get Started” and, as a result, used it as source music. While Evans felt that the entire score should have this flavor he was quickly talked out of it by Goldsmith, who created one of his finest compositions ever. The trumpet based theme Goldsmith created is a true classic.
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
