Product Description Not only is Alan Price's score to 'O Lucky Man!' a great soundtrack in its own right, but it plays such a prominent role in the film, acting as sort of a Greek chorus commenting on the action taking place, that it takes on almost an operatic sweep. Lindsay Anderson's story of an everyman's journey through various levels of British society must have inspired Price-check out the working-class tales on his concept album 'Between Today and Yesterday', which we're also putting out-and he came through with a series of music hall-style vignettes whose pleasant melodies belied their cynical lyrical content. Think Ray Davies crossed with Randy Newman; this album continues to fascinate 35 years later. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsSkip Collector's Choice Reissue, Go For The Older Warner Bro Erik Morton | Carmel, CA United States | 05/22/2009 (2 out of 5 stars) "The album itself is a mini-masterpiece. The two-star rating refers to this Collector's Choice reissue of the album. Right from the get-go, there are serious problems with background noise/hiss, and it's pretty distracting (and I'd imagine, pretty simple to remove with modern technology). I downloaded the title track from iTunes, and sure enough, their version was crisp and clean. So I figured I had purchased a faulty CD, and ordered another. Sure enough, the same darn background fuzz was there. This is interesting to me, since the Collector's Choice reissue of Alan Price's "Between Today & Yesterday" was devoid of such sound problems.
I'm no audiophile, just a casual music lover, and the sound quality issues on this CD were very noticeable. The remaster needed more noise reduction, or something (and yes, I'm aware that employing too much noise reduction can be detrimental, but go compare the CD and iTunes versions of the title track for yourself to see what I mean). UPDATE: I sought out the original CD release by Warner Bros., and the background hiss and problems are all gone! So all fans of this album and Alan Price should BUY THE WARNER ARCHIVES CD RELEASE!!!!!!!" |
