This album is a promotional release from Tony Thomas Productions.
Based on the novel by Henry Fielding, the film (1977, dir. Tony Richardson) starred Peter Firth, Ann-Margret, Michael Hordern, Beryl Reid and Jim Dale.
Vinyl: G+. Some mild signs of wear and a few scuffs, scratches and marks. Played just pre-listing and sound clarity is very good throughout. Some crackling and clicks/pops in places which may be due to the sound limitations of this original ‘private’ pressing.
Outer Sleeve (Cover): EX. No obvious sign of wear. Still in original shrinkwrap though unsealed. Colours are unfaded with no tears. Minor aperture corner damage where cover is exposed and through very light usage. Could be harder to find a copy in better condition.
Inner Sleeve: EX. Original. Poly-lined white paper with angled corners and central hole. A few minor creases/folds though normal handling.
With compositions for a ribald period piece, John Addison crafts an accomplished yet playful soundtrack album for this comedy film. The themes are centred around emotive harpsichord and an astute late 70s Classical piano that doesn't take itself too seriously. There's some foreboding arrangements on certain pieces but the overall tone of the record is inspired and comedic. A must for obscure soundtrack collectors.
