Up the Junction
2008 repressing of this soundtrack by the British band. This CD includes the original Fontana soundtrack album along with 'Sleepy Hollow', an equally rare single B-side as a bonus track. Based on Nell Dunn's controversial novel, the 1968 film Up The Junction pulled few punches in dealing with contemporary London working class life. Not the Manfred's first foray in film music, it nevertheless remains one of their strongest works of the period and is hugely enjoyable in its own right. Director Peter Collinson was more than pleased with the outcome: "The result was incredible; they captured the heart of the picture. Their music belonged to the picture, it was not superimposed. The tunes will exist long after the picture has been forgotten." RPM.
