Original Motion Picture Soundtrack “It’s A Revolution Mother” “Recorded on the scene where the action is” An Entertainment Systems, Inc. Release Here’s an odd but nonetheless fascinating time capsule of late- Sixties social unrest filtered through the mind of Florida-based sexploitation producer-director HARRY KERWIN. Yup, the man who made Strange Rampage, My Third Wife George, and Girls Come Too. But lacking the funds to make something along the lines of an Easy Rider or a Wild in the Streets, Kerwin blissfully dispensed with both fiction and actors and, instead, went out and filmed The Real Thing. Combining (rough, raw) authentic footage of bikers, peace protestors, and the crowd at a rock festival, he created the mondoesque It’s a Revolution Mother! a self-described “Documentary of Love” tied together with an exuberant (and often hilarious) anti-government-anti establishment-anti-Vietnam-war-pro-rebel lion rant delivered by an uncredited narrator who sounds like an AM disk jockey on speed. THE ALIENS are a biker gang who let Kerwin photograph them on the highway, inside their squalid headquarters, at a weekend beach party, and a clubhouse. “They candidly discuss their lifestyle (“I’d say Jesus died so we could ride’”); order drugs (“An ounce of speed and 200 trips’”); bitch about hassles with the cops, the courts, and their landlord; and explain the difference between “mamas and old ladies.” One of’ em even pisses in a beer can for us. “Don’t let it snap your mind. You’ve got to groove with the biker crowd to know where it’s really at’” – Something Weird

The Arrows Featuring Davie Allan Tower Records Includes “Devil’s Angels Theme” and “The Born Loser’s Theme” two biker movie classics from the Arrow’s surf-psych guitars.

Sammy Davis Jr. “Sale e Pepe” “SUPER-SPIE HIPPY!” United Artists. An Italian picture sleeve for the soundtrack to the movie “Salt and Pepper” from 1968. Sammy co-stars with Peter Lawford. Directed by Richard Donner (who went on to make bigger action adventure movies like “Lethal Weapon” and “Superman” and “Sara T. Portrait of a Teenage Alchoholic”). The movie’s tag line: ” They held the fate of the world in their hands — and dropped it!” (Sounds promising — it’s not, But the illustration is straight outta ’68 and the Italian subtitle pretty much says it all.)
