TCCDM Pulls One Out..."Angels From Hell" Soundtrack (1968)

"Angels From Hell" Soundtrack (1968)

This biker soundtrack is highly sought after by a lot of psych fans.  Two of the tracks are by the psych-punkish...The Lollipop Shoppe and were only released as singles.  Three songs are by The Peanut Butter Conspiracy and to my knowledge are not available anywhere else.  I enjoyed most of Stu Phillips contributions, as well.  

Stu Phillips was a longtime composer for films and television and here he delivers six songs that are mostly groovy instrumentals sprinkled with jazz-psych dust.  Many throw off a Goldie Hawn and body paint vibe, and that ain't bad.  That leaves us with Ted Markland's contribution…a folk-rock song that sounds like a Schoolhouse Rock outtake.  It's not exactly bad, but whaddyagonnado?  Interestingly, Ted Markland went on to play one of the patients in “One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.”  

"Angels From Hell" Soundtrack (back)

Favorites include both versions of the title track, "Angels From Hell."  The opening track "No One Says A Word (No Communication)" and the dark "Crystal Tear" also from The Peanut Butter Conspiracy.  The edgy punk "Who's It Gonna Be?" and "Mr. Madison Avenue" from The Lollipop Shoppe are both great.  

I found my copy at Garageman G's hang.  It was a pretty high dollar pick-up (for me) but the asking price was below the median.  It's one of the better cash-in biker albums I've heard and I don't regret buying it for a minute.  A very nice copy.  Also, you can stream the movie on Youtube right now.  But be forewarned..."Sons of Anarchy" they're not.  The "Angels From Hell" look like the "Sons of Aunt Bee."

Interview:-- Joan Staley (Actress - Classic Movies & Television)

  "Elvis,  do you really want me to slap you?"  ~ Joan Staley ~     So my friends and I were talking about first crushes. First tv and movie crushes.  For me, it was easy.  It was Alma. (Joan Staley)   I broke into the double-digit age of 10 in 1993.  That was the summer I discovered my favorite Don Knotts movie while flipping thru cable one Saturday morning... "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken." Everyone has seen it.  It was a funny haunted house story similar to an episode on Andy G. with a cast of familiar characters, trippy organ music, and the prettiest girl I had ever seen...Alma. She was beautiful alright.  I was love-stung so bad, I swear I could smell flowers coming out of the TV set.  And best of all, she was nice.  She didn't like the smart alec, the wise guy, or the show-off.  Alma was digging Luther (Don Knotts) and that just made her that much prettier.  And from then on... But unfortunately, time and puberty wouldn't let her wait

Interview:--> Terry Kirkman (The Association)

"...Not only learned to think, but to care.  Not only learned to think, but to dare." ~ The Association ~  With one of the most bad-ass songs about the herb that no one was quite sure about, yet everyone understood...to the anti-war homage that was both beautiful and pointed... The Association . From gentle psych pop spinneries that tease the mind...to the lush vocal and instrumental arrangements that melt the heart... The Association. The Association were all of these and none of these. Lead by co-founder Terry Kirkman, it was never an "either/or" about the music.  No pigeonhole here.  It was simply "all" about the music.  And having at least 3 of the most radio-played songs in history...I'd say The Association were on to something. TERRY KIRKMAN INTERVIEW  01/26/2015 Casey Chambers:  In the summer of '67, The Association had the opportunity to perform at the iconic Monterey Pop Festival.  How cool was that? Terry Kirkma

Interview -- Henry Lee Summer (Singer/Songwriter)

"I just always have played music.  For better   or worse, I banked my whole life on it." ~ Henry Lee Summer ~     It's strange how music lets you travel through time as if there truly was no time.  I played the shit out of this album growing up.  Nothing deep or complicated.  Nothing outta bounds.  Nothing to get hung about.  It's deceptively simple.  But here's the thing... Henry Lee Summer  is serving aces all over this heartland square. This is the 35th anniversary of Henry Lee Summer's self-titled album and this one falls under that sweet spot between raucous and chill.  It's a large cup of iced coffee with a nice soulful blend.  Not usually my type of go-to and yet this album easily fills a void I didn't know I had.  Let this spin be your own private Idaho.  " Check it out, Leroy!"   Henry Lee Summer... Go get you some. Henry Lee Summer Interview -- August 2023 Henry Lee Summer Casey Chambers:  Well, this is the 35th anniversary of you
