Hells Angels On Wheels
US (Smash SRS 67094) 1967 Stereo
Vinyl and Cover VG+/VG+
Tripped-out genius from Stu Phillips – and one of the best biker soundtracks ever! This one was scored for a film that starred a young Jack Nicholson and actual members of the Hells Angels group themselves – and Stu created a really groovy set of tracks that pushes past the obvious cliches of the genre! Gone are the so-so rock numbers that you'd get on a Tower soundtrack, and in their place are some really great instrumentals – stepping with a blend of fuzz, organ, and funk – and often including these great wordless vocals that kind of scat along with the grooves! That last aspect is what really makes the set a great one – and gives the tracks a light jazzy sound that makes for a really unique record.The track titled " Flowers " is the best sitar garage psych instrumental you've ever heard ! One track is a vocal number – "Study In Motion #1", sung by The Poor, other tracks include "Poet Scores", "Four Five Sex", "Bike Ballet", "Hells Angels On Wheels", "Flowers", " Tea Party " , " Sunday Art and Football ", and "Skip To My Mary J"
Packed Full of FUzz and Featuring Sitar , wordless vocals , and a real mystical sensibility throughout , I hate to let this baby go !
If Stu Phillips had never done anything besides write the gloriously overwrought score for Russ Meyer's masterpiece Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, he'd be a name-dropped by sleaze film enthusiasts to this day, but as it happens, that's only the tip of the Phillips iceberg. Stu's other credits include the iconic biker flick Hell's Angels on Wheels, the bizarre black magic film Simon, King of the Witches, the "bikers go to Vietnam" classic The Losers, and the theme music for both Quincy M.E. and Battlestar Galactica! Phillips' bright, broad style and imaginative sense of orchestration has been helping to make the most of marginal movies since the early '60s
