CBS KSF 7031, ULTRA RARE MUSIC SCORE FROM THE MOVIE "GLENDA", ALSO KNOWN AS "SNAKE DANCER". The LP was made in South Africa in 1976, same as the movie. CANNOT FIND ANOTHER COPY OF LP ONLINE!
Glossy jacket with light edge and corner wear, no marks, rings, or splits. LP stored in plain white inner sleeve, no scratches seen on clean vinyl, in the VG++ to NM range, probably closer to NM range, but I'll grade VG++ to be conservative. Please see photo of the back jacket for the music contained on this LP
From Wikipedia on Glenda Kemp, the subject of the movie:
"Glenda Kemp (born 1949) is a South African stripper, activist, and teacher....
...It was during the conservative 1970s, that Kemp began stripping with "Oupa", her pet python. Her scandalous actions and her provocative moves caused the Vice Squad to do their best to stop her, without success. The newspaper Rapport tagged her "Newsmaker of the Year". She was arrested on numerous occasions and charged with public indecency. Faced with barricades of Christian wives on one side and loyal fans and liberals on the other, she never gave up, but continued to provoke the attention of the public.
No one expected me to change my identity, and dance as a black woman on a white stage in the midst of apartheid laws. I was going around and kicking up dust
Dirk De Villiers made Snake Dancer, giving Kemp the opportunity to tell her story in a full-length movie. The film was not well received by the South African public. She planned to leave her snake and dancing behind and follow a teaching career. Her notoriety resulted in many rejections at interviews for teaching positions. She then travelled to London to continue her dancing career there. She worked for Paul Raymond (publisher) in the Raymond Revuebar and at the Windmill Theatre. She also became a relief house mother at Epworth Children's Home."
