GET CARTER - VARIOUS ARTISTS: ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK RECORDING (180G IMPORT LP)

Get Carter: Original Soundtrack Recording Various Artists on 180g Import LP

Get Carter, the classic 1971 British gangster film, starred Michael Caine in a career-defining role as a London gangster out for revenge. Directed by Mike Hodges' and set in the derelict urban scenery of Newcastle, the film is offset by a classy, cool and slightly edgy jazz soundtrack which brilliantly evokes the movie's gritty imagery.

The iconic soundtrack, recorded on a tiny budget, was written by the jazz prodigy Roy Budd and is performed by Budd and the two jazz musicians Jeff Clyne and Chris Karan, both of whom were part of the Dudley Moore Trio. Pianist Budd, drummer Karan (also on evocative tabla,) and bassist Clyne (with guitarists Brian Daly and Judd Proctor) carry the emotional weight of the soundtrack flawlessly, inspiring a number of covers and tributes along the way.

This revised edition gets its vinyl debut courtesy of Music On Vinyl and the music comes interspersed with snippets of dialog including that classic and sample-inviting line by Caine, "You're a big man but you're in bad shape, for me it's a full-time job. Now behave yourself." Get Carter was voted as #16 in the British Film Institute's '100 Favourite British Films of The 20th Century' and #1 in Total Film's 'Greatest British Films Of All Time.'
