CANDY
Original Soundtrack
Catalogue No. RTCD1004

• Classic 1968 psych soundtrack
• Features rare tracks by The Byrds
• Plenty of sitars, fuzz, electronics etc
• Liner notes included

Starring Ringo Starr, Marlon Brando, Richard Burton, Walter Matthau, James Coburn, John Huston and others, Candy was one of the more grandiose follies of the late 1960s. Its soundtrack, however, is a lost classic. Featuring superb contributions from The Byrds and Steppenwolf, as well as atmospheric instrumentals by composer Dave Grusin that incorporate fuzz, sitar, electronica and other period flourishes, it’s nothing short of a psychedelic gem, and makes its long-overdue CD debut here, complete with explanatory notes.

‘This collection of music really works and is of more historical importance than it is given credit for’ – www.allmusic.com

‘An essential purchase for Byrds fans because it features not only two tracks from Dr. Byrds & Mr. Hyde in radically different mixes, but also the instrumental ‘Ascension To Virginity’… For good measure there are also two great songs from Steppenwolf and plenty of decent Eastern-tinged instrumentals for sitar fans’ – Endless Trip
