First ever vinyl release of Lalo Schifrin's soundtrack for Frank Perry's
1974 psychological thriller 'Man On A Swing', featuring unissued tracks -
remastered from the original tapes.
Wewantsounds is delighted to release Lalo Schifrin's soundtrack for 'Man On A
Swing' featuring Schifrin's superb mix of jazz, bossa, groove and atmospheric
soundscape. The soundtrack, recorded in LA with the Wrecking Crew's Emil
Richards, Bud Shank and Howard Roberts among others, finds the composer at
his most inspired.
The score plays like a long suite alternating Bossa Nova ("Juke Box Source"),
Lounge Jazz ("Trip to LA") and groove ("FM Groove") with superb "suspense"
soundscapes like "Rosehaven Hotel". Delving in the Paramount tapes, the label
has re- sequenced the soundtrack from scratch and found several unissued
queues as bonus tracks. Among which the mindblowing rhythm track for the title
'Radio Source', featuring a super funk breakbeat.
The soundtrack has been remastered for vinyl by Colorsound studio and features
liner notes by Jeremy Allen with artwork by Eric Adrian Lee.
'Man on a Swing' is pure undiluted Schifrin from the early 70s.
