	£		34
	$		45

ONE OF THE RAREST UK SOUNDTRACK LPs OF THE 1960s

"THEY CAME TO ROB LAS VEGAS"

MUSIC COMPOSED BY GEORGES GARVARENTZ.

THIS SOMEWHAT OVERLOOKED FILM INFLUENCED NO DOUBT BY THE ITALIAN JOB OF A FEW MONTHS EARLIER,STARRED GARY LOCKWOOD,ELKE SOMMER,LEE COBB and others.

Directed by ANTONIO ISASI.

MUSICALLY IT HAS ALL THE INGREDIANTS OF A LATE 1960s DELUXE SOUNDTRACK WITH A LARGE ORCHESTRA WITH AN AMAZING HORN SECTION AS WELL AS FEATURING A POWERFUL RHYTHM SECTION,SOME HAMMOND ORGAN"STABS"AND LOTS OF POTENTIAL"BREAKS"AND"SAMPLES"FOR DJs LOOKING FOR 1960s SOUNDS!

THE TEMPOS VARY ON THE 11 TRACKS AS DO THE MOODS FROM SINISTER"MYSTERY"MOODS, TO UPBEAT"SWINGING 60s"TUNES THAT TAKE INFLUENCE FROM RON GOODWIN,LALO SCHIFRIN,JOHN BARRY AND BURT BACHARACH.A WORDLESS DISTANT FEMALE"OOING AND COOING"ON ONE DREAMY,REFLECTIVE TRACK ALSO A BIG BAND/MODERN JAZZ TRACK IN QUINCY JONES/STAN KENTON FASHION,MAKING FULL USE OF THE STEREO IMAGE!

AT THE TIME, THE FILM WAS A MODERATE BOX OFFICE SUCCESS AND THE LP SOUNDTRACK HAD MINIMAL PUBLICITY.

PHILIPS WERE CONCENTRATING ON PUBLISISING THE MORE LUCRATIVE CLASSICAL RECORDS,EASY LISTENING ARTISTS SUCH AS NANA MOUSKOURI AND PAUL MAURIET.

IN THE 1960s,SOUNDTRACKS RARELY SOLD IN EPIC NUMBERS APART FROM MUSICALS SUCH AS"THE SOUND OF MUSIC"(I MUST HAVE ABOUT 50 COPIES IN STOCK OF THAT ONE!!!!!!).

THE PRINT RUN FOR "THEY CAME TO ROB LAS VEGAS"WOULD BE A FEW THOUSAND AND AS FOR LONG TERM SALES, FORGET IT!

THE BIG COMPANIES SUCH AS PHILIPS, WOULD RELEASE SO MUCH THAT POOR SELLERS WOULD BE DELETED FROM THE CATALOGUE WITHIN A YEAR OR SO OF ISSUE.

THIS WOULD EXPLAIN WHY IN ALL MY YEARS OF COLLECTING AND DEALING I HAVE NEVER SEEN A COPY BEFORE!

THOSE THAT BOUGHT IT WERE SERIOUS COLLECTORS,CASUAL BUYERS WOULD NOT SHELL OUT FOR WHAT WOULD BE A"SPECIALIST"ITEM.

MOST SHOPS WOULD NOT RISK STOCKING IT!

I AM OLD ENOUGH(JUST)TO REMEMBER THE RECORD SELECTIONS IN EVEN THE BIGGEST RECORD STORES IN THE EAST OF ENGLAND, AND SOUNDTRACK LPs ONLY HAD A SMALL SELECTION WITH POSSIBLY THE ODD UNUSUAL ONE"RISKED"BY THE STORE AS A RANDOM CHOICE!

IT HAS BEEN ON MANY COLLECTORS WANTS LISTS AND IF YOU LOOK ELSEWHERE YOU ARE VERY UNLIKELY TO FIND ANOTHER COPY!

SO BACK TO THIS COLLECTION-I HAVE SEEN THE HIFI THE RECORDS WERE PLAYED ON-JUST ABOUT THE BEST SOUND SYSTEM I HAVE SEEN IN MANY YEARS-MANY OF THE OLDER TITLES WERE BOUGHT FROM ME WHICH IN TURN WERE SOURCED FROM EX-REVIEWERS AND OTHER FUSSY COLLECTORS.

THE LPs WERE STORED UPRIGHT IN A SERIES OF SHELVES IN A STUDY AWAY FROM SUNLIGHT/HEAT AND DAMP.

NO SMOKERS IN THE HOUSE AND ONE OF THE MOST GENUINE AND CHARMING COLLECTORS I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH-THE REASON FOR THE SALE IS SPACE AND A CHANGE OF INTERESTS!
