A Brief History Of Jimmy Page's Lucifer Rising Soundtrack.
~
Jimmy Page first composed his original score for Kenneth Anger's film 'Lucifer Rising' at his (then) residence, Boleskine House, in November 1973. The 24-minute piece was rejected by Anger and very soon achieved legendary status, with many poor quality vinyl bootlegs emerging during the rest of the decade and beyond.

In 1987, Page's 'Lucifer Rising' soundtrack was released in 12-inch, blue vinyl format in a limited edition of 1000 numbered copies -- apparently without either Page or Anger being consulted. The release was accompanied by a publicity flyer which attributed the project to "Boleskine House Records" under the supervision of one "Frater Zardoz", aka: Chris Dietler, a member of the O.T.O. who (despite claiming to have permission/authorisation to launch the project) was subsequently expelled from the Crowley-based organization for his unauthorised actions.

In 2006, the original soundtracks to Kenneth Anger's films were released in remastered form on a CD entitled: 'Anger Rising'. The CD contained the full, unedited, uninterrupted original version of Page's 'Lucifer Rising' soundtrack, as well as Mick Jagger's haunting score for Anger's 'Invocation Of My Demon Brother' and the replacement 'Lucifer Rising' score composed by Bobby Beausoleil. The CD was released to coincide/commemorate the appearance of 6th June 2006, or: 06/06/06 and its extensive liner notes were written by one "M.D. Not"

2012: Jimmy Page released (via his website only) a limited edition vinyl LP record: 'Lucifer Rising & Other Tracks', Side Two of which contains a series of short eerie, instrumental experiments which are strongly reminiscent of Page's 1982 'Death Wish 2' soundtrack. Side One of the LP is taken up entirely by a cleaned-up version of 'Lucifer Rising'. However, this new version is noticeably shorter: coming in at just over 21-minutes. The thunderstorm/howling gale finale in the original has here been completely excised by Page -- thereby inadvertently (or deliberately?) leaving the "must-have" status of the original work intact.

This is the original, limited edition LP, and includes the Boleskine House Records insert.  
This is a seriously rare piece of Jimmy Page history!  You won't see another like it!
  Vinyl:   NM- Cover:  EX-


SIDE NOTE:  I have over 3000 records in my collection.  If you're looking for something but don't see it here, let me know.

Also, I have more records for sale over at mamagottaste.  I split them into two accounts at the end of last year for tax purposes, so I'll combine shipments if you purchase from both!


A note about my grading:  I think the Goldmine grading system leaves far too many gaps, so while I use that as a base, I have my own system.  The difference between VG+ and NM should have way more steps between it than 1.  I've graded tens of thousands of records, and you definitely need a bigger range than VG+ to NM (I consider anything less than VG+ to be not even worth owning unless it's so rare that it's all you have until a listenable record can replace it).  Please read below.  

VINYL GRADING:

SS ~ Sealed records : Still sealed in original shrink wrap

MINT : Pristine, perfect and flawless.  Usually reserved for sealed records

NM ~ NEAR MINT : The record should show no obvious signs of wear. The very slightest signs of use, truly near mint. May have a few slight paper scuffs on the vinyl that shuldn't affect play.

EX+ :  The record will show some signs that it was played and handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. There should be no obvious defects (Scratches/Warps).  Just a tiny step below NM

EX : Light use is evident, either slight needle marks or scuffs.  This grade record is still an exceptional play copy.

VG++ : Use is evident but not bad.  Record has some marks , very light scratches, though not feelable.  Will definitely play through with no skips.

VG+ : Average used record, looks OK, plays OK, some noise is possible.  Some scratches, may be feelable, but will still play without skipping.  Record was played but was reasonably cared for.

VG : Vinyl has some groove wear or several scratches or some significant scratches. This record will play with noise that does not overwhelm the music.

G : Significant surface noise, scratches, visible groove wear , may skip or repeat.

  Grades for covers:   M : perfect. no wear, square flat corners, solid seams, spine etc., Usually sealed   NM : overall appearance of front and back near perfect but may have a very small problem such as a small corner ding/couple tiny spine chips, but nothing noticeable without close inspection.   EX : as above, nice "un-handled" feel, but may have more spine wear, a bent or dinged corner or two, very light ring wear, but rarely any splits or tears.   VG+:  Between VG and EX (usually closer to an EX grade), NO major seem splits over a an inch or two, No visible water damage.  Edge chipping and smaller splits possible, ring wear, and small name or writing possible but should be noted.   VG:  Still has a decent overall appearance, but may have split seams, spine splits, tears, staining, water damage, or other fault   VG- to G:  Significant wear.
