Description
From Perfect Sound Forever: "Possibly Trunk's most celebrated release was the eerie and erotic soundtrack to the cult 1973 British horror classic The Wicker Man, an album which has had an incredible influence on a generation of weird-folky musicians like Tunng, Espers, The Memory Band and the Deserted Village collective. Jonny spent three years tracking down the music in what proved to be a baptism of fire into the world of finding 'lost' music. "The hardest one to sort out was The Wicker Man, that was really difficult because nobody knew who owned it. It was a mystery as to where the reels were, who owned the music. It was endless chasing, a lot of phone calls and letters and faxes. This was in the days before the Internet. In those days, you really had to be immensely determined. It was a missing link, filmically, because I collected film music since I was a kid really. Where I grew up as a teenager, it was a bit of a laugh of a film- it was brilliant, really funny, beautiful, and weird. Edward Woodward is hilarious in that film. We used to laugh our heads off at it and recreate scenes from it in the park when we were stoned! It was a cult film where I came from but it wouldn't have been in the top hundred UK films or anything. The music on it is great and it wasn't available and so I started thinking "I could do this, I could find it, I will find it." I was determined to do it for my own personal reasons. There were so many rumours about Paul Giovanni's soundtrack to the film - it existed, it didn't exist. I took it off the music and effects tape at Pinewood Studios after they had given me permission to, which is why there's weird effects on my one, frogs croaking and stuff. Two and a half years on, I got permission from Canal Plus, the French company who owned the film to issue a limited number so I did. It was amazing. I'd only got permission to do a very limited run, otherwise I'd have kept pressing the bloody things! "
EX/EX condition, cover/vinyl - but the second side has two labels affixed, both slightly askew. It doesn't affect the run-off, though.
