Whole Lalo Schifrin Goin On
Last night I went to
Dusty Groove and ordered
Lalo Schifrin Most Wanted 1968-1979. From the
liner notes, It looks like it delves into the rarities of Schifrin's funky soundtrack/jazz/funk period - like a disco version of the 'Amyityville Horror' theme. There's also the fabulous 'Medical Center' title credits tune, and a 1974
Planet of the Apes tie-in called "Ape Shuffle". Hey, with that name it's gotta be good!

that sounds like a fabulous comp. i hope you'll post your thoughts on it once you get it.
I liked it! The disc is a little on the short side, for a compilation. It's 53 minutes long. But what's there is great, '70s wah-wah instrumentals that straddle the line between funk/disco and soundtrack music. My favorite tracks are the ones from Amityville Horror, Jaws, Enter the Dragon, Medical Center, Diry Harry and Planet of the Apes.
