Lialeh OST - Bernard "Pretty Boy" Purdie @ 320kbps

Personally I organise my music alphabetically by group ignoring any "The"s (so it's 10CC to Zutons rather than Abba to Zappa). The only catagories I do use are "Lounge" and "Porn Film Theme Music".

Have a wild guess where this week's offering goes.

Lialeh ("pink on the inside, black on the outside") is widely recognised as the first black porn film coming out in '74 riding the blacksploitation wave. 

But, and it's an enormous size 20 font in bold "but", the sound-track was written by Bernard
"Pretty" Purdie
, arranged by Horace Otts (who composed “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” most famously covered by The Animals) and played by Purdie, Ernest Hayes, Wilbur Bascomb, John Tropea, Norman Pride and Seldon Powell. Bottom line, the then creme de la creme of New York based session musicians. 

You can check out the title track courtesy of You Tube here if you need any more encouragement to d/l this 64mb slice of funky grooviness.
