The Wicker Man Info from Trunk Records
"Come, it is time to keep your appointment with The Wicker man..." A 4 year search by TRUNK ended in permission to issue this awesome lost recording - the unholy grail of soundtracks.
The original music and effects tapes were found and carefully copied, and the LP release is an identical copy of the sounds found on these tapes.
The first vinyl LP became "the most collectable record of all time" according to some journalists, with dealers selling it for £120 shortly after its release.
Reviews for this odd recording were phenomenal, and Christopher Lee sang "Tinker of Rye" down the telephone to us in the Trunk office.
Original pieces of wood from The Wicker man were sent to us, maps, photos, stories and more just kept coming in. Also included was a USA copy of the movie with 20 extra minutes of footage.
People were annoyed that "Gently Jonny", sung by Paul Giovanni in the longer versions of the film was missing. It still is, and somewhere out there a master tape may be waiting.
The Wicker Man is a truly cult movie. It has an incredible following, a bizarre, almost unexplained history, and was the last great unreleased soundtrack of a generation.
Paul Giovanni was a genius, and may he rest in peace. As for the band, "Magnet"who played all the music, nothing is really known of them. They were chosen by Paul Giovanni from the Royal Conservatory of music, but that's all that is know. As for the voice behind "Willow's Song" nothing is known about her, no record exists of who she was or where she came from.
To my knowledge, a book just about "The Wicker Man" and the various mysteries surrounding it will be published in 2000, and when we hear more information it will be posted on this site. Or it might be done and curiously disappear on the way to this site.
One final useless piece of information on "The Wicker Man"... there are currently two women in Scotland who claim to be Britt Ekland's body double in the film. Madness.
