I've really been digging into some soundtracks lately so when I came across this in the collection I was psyched. I had completely forgotten that I owned it. It's one of those damn sleeves with no spine.
Cool west coast jazz just seems to work for this crazy little film and the best part is it works as well without the visuals. It's unfortunate that some of the pieces couldn't stretch out a bit more.
Dig that groovy cover, cats and kittens.

This is a real Hook's Gem!
And I'll have the chance to recall those wonderful sounds and solos that I heard once in my distant life.
Thanks too much for your precious ripping!
Many many thanks for all your great posts and the very concise yet swinging descriptions. I love jazz soundtracks. I have the Gerry Mulligan version of " I Want To Live" that also a killer. Do you like the Leith Stevens "Wild One" LP ? Great job and thanks again !
