Description
- From 1970, this is an original stereo US pressing of the insanely rare soundtrack to the film "Pound", featuring music by Charlie Cuva and lyrics by director Robert Downey. This one was a private press, with supposedly only 100 copies produced. Blaxploitaion.com gives it 5 stars, with their review reading,"Maverick director Robert 'Putney Swope' Downey Sr. (father of Robert Downey Jr.) directed this crazy movie about a dog pound featuring talking dogs in 1970. An R-rated cult classic, some of the voiceovers were provided by respected actors, but unlike Putney Swope this movie is (undeservedly) almost forgotten. This private pressing white label soundtrack (with hand-stamped cover!) is extremely rare, and incredibly funky. 'For God's sake do not broadcast!', the cover states, and you can hear why - the lyrics are very funny and completely obscene. Half instrumental and half vocal, it's a small group raw funk monster, filled with huge beats, choppy guitar and big horns. Remortgage the house, sell the car, cash in your stocks and buy it - superb stuff." Jacket is VG++, showing some handling/ring wear; there are a few nicks/indentations in the cover along top edge and on the back. Vinyl is a shiny and clean VG++, showing some surface/paper marks on either side. Sound quality is solid throughout, with some occasions of crackle during quieter interludes and a few minor ticks along the way; there are no skips or repeats. White labels, stamped on the A-side, are crisp with no spindle wear. Safe to say, the only original of this one I will come across! NOTE: US Postal rates have increased as of January 27th. Buyers now pay $4.00 media shipping in the US, $20.00 first class mail overseas. Thanks for looking and good luck!
