Regular price £12.50 Save £-12.50Product Description
-
In
early
1967
Brian
Jones
found
time
in
between
Stones
tours
to
record
the
soundtrack
to
the
film
Mord
und
Totschlag,
starring
his
then-
partner
Anita
Pallenberg
as
Marie.
In
the
film
Marie
shoots
her
ex-boyfriend
with
his
own
gun
after
he
attempts
to
beat
her
up.
Instead
of
reporting
this
to
the
police
she
hires
two
men
to
help
her
dump
the
body
in
a
construction
site
near
an
autobahn.
Although
the
film
was
entered
into
the
1967
Cannes
Film
Festival
it
is
known
today
chiefly
for
its
soundtrack.
The
tracks
on
this
EP
provide
you
with
the
musical
highlights
from
the
soundtrack,
which
has
never
officially
been
released.
Talking
to
Rolling
Stone
in
2012
collaborator
Jimmy
Page
said
"Brian
knew
what
he
was
doing.
It
was
quite
beautiful.
Some
of
it
was
made
up
at
the
time;
some
of
it
was
stuff
I
was
augmenting
with
him.
I
was
definitely
playing
with
the
violin
bow.
Brian
had
this
guitar
that
had
a
volume
pedal
–
he
could
get
gunshots
with
it.
There
was
a
Mellotron
there.
He
was
moving
forward
with
ideas."
In
the
film’s
official
press
release,
director
Volker
Schlöndorff
was
delighted
with
the
results.
“Brian’s
music
has
worked
so
marvellously.
His
special
music
fits
the
film
wonderfully
-
and
I
do
not
think
anyone
but
he
could
have
done
it.”
