I won this in an auction last night it was one of those up in 15 minute spur of the moment bids and no one placed another bid so picked it up cheaply enough if its in the condition they state.
I just wondered what peoples thoughts are on this album, what drew me to it were a couple of videos on Youtube (I didn't want to listen all the way through kind of ruins the experience when the record arrives.) but they sounded like Blood Sweat and Tears on one and sort of Avant Library music in another. I also read a little quick history of the album and the huge expense, huge number of people involved etc and the fact it's a guy who composed music for films given lots of money to make an album basically something which would never happen now.
Herb Alpert being involved nearly put me off but it sounded silly enough that something was telling me to buy it in the back of my head. I've never come across it before and even with the funny cover design I may well have flicked past it.
Anyway I know its not the holy grail but it sounded mad so is it good or have I bought a turkey?
