NEW LINK (2025) - Jean-Claude Vannier 7"

Here is a fresh vinyl rip of a funky 7" by Jean-Claude Vannier (the man behind the orchestration of Serge Gainsbourg's impeccable masterpiece "Histoire De Melody Nelson"). Featuring four rare, dark, groovy and out of control tracks from the early 70's, all contained on this one 45 single. I believe the cool Gainsbourg-esque "Theme 504" is exclusive to this release, so I hope you all appreciate this rip, since I haven't seen it posted anywhere else yet. Also both versions of "Je M'Appelle Geraldine" were excluded from the vinyl re-release of Vannier's "L'Enfant Assassin Des Mouches" from 1972. Enjoy! Ripped at 320 Kbps.

Tracks:
1. L'Enfant La Mouche Et Les Allumettes
2. Theme 504
3. Je M'Appelle Geraldine (Mid-Tempo Version)
4. Je M'Appelle Geraldine (Up-Tempo Version)

NEW LINK (2025) - Armando Trovajoli - L'Arcidiavolo (1966)

Here is a crazy soundtrack I picked up a few weeks ago. This is Armando Tovajoli's score for the 1966 comedy period peice set in renaissance times called "L'Arcidiavolo" or "The Devil In Love". I have not seen the film (I believe it's out of print), but despite the strange/deceptive album cover this is a fantastic LP. To be honest, based on the cover I was expecting renaissance or medieval music. Now, while this music references renaissance melodies, the soundtrack is surprisingly up-tempo and funky. There are Religious overtones to the songs, but in a weird party kind of way. Lot's of break beats, pick-bass, harpsichord, choir, and organ. Arranged by Carlo Pes and performed by I Marc 4 (The band who played about on 99% of Trovajoli's soundtracks), Edda Dell'Orso and I Cantori Moderni Di Alessandroni (Alessandro Alessandroni's modern choir). I took the time to rip both vinyl discs for you, so I think it goes with out saying that this is highly recommended. I haven't seen it posted anywhere else yet, so enjoy and feel free to share it. Ripped at 320 Kbps. Disc one is the soundtrack and disc two is alternate film versions presented in mono.

NEW LINK (2025) - Lee Hazlewood - Cowboy In Sweden (1970)

Hello Everybody! Today I've got a special treat for you. A while back someone requested that I repost Cowboy in Sweden, but I was waiting for this rip from my buddy. This is a vinyl rip of the original 1970 pressing of the album and my friend and I both agree, it is probably the best sounding rip of the album currently available (next to the original vinyl it's self). A few years back a label called Smells Like Records reissued this album at a very poor quality, and I heard that even Lee (RIP) wasn't too happy with the sound quality. It sounds like they did a vinyl rip and mixed out the crackle by turning down all the high frequencies. That was the way I first heard this album, so to my surprise when we finally tracked down a few original copies from Swedish Ebay, There was so much detail missing on the reissue, it's unreal. So, that said, this is a far superior rip of the album. There is some light crackle, but overall the album sounds much bigger, much fuller, and you can actually hear the instrumentation much clearer than before. I'm very excited about this one cause over the past few years this has become one of my all time favorite albums (right up there with Histoire De Melody Nelson). So, I'm happy to share it with everyone, I hope you can appreciate it as much as I do. I heard rumors of another vinyl reissue coming out soon. So let's hope they do a better job this time. Meanwhile, enjoy! This was ripped at 320 kbps of course, and I've included a folder containing all of the artwork and labels etc. for your enjoyment as well. Happy Listening.

Tracks:
01 Pray The Bars Away
02 Leather & Lace
03 Forget Marie
04 Cold Hard Times
05 The Night Before
06 Hey Cowboy
07 No Train To Stockholm
