Also partial to this although thereā€™s a large element of nostalgia here as it was one of the LPs lying around at home when I was 5 years old so got to know it very well. At that age I was always slightly scared of Rossano Brazziā€™s strong vocal on ā€˜Some Enchanted Eveningā€™. When he sings, ā€˜Once you have found her, never let her goā€™ always sounded a bit sinister to me back then!

Quite a few years ago there used to be a good music programme on BBC Radio Northampton which was mostly indie and rock music. They had a feature where you could select three tracks off a favourite album, say why it was special to you and they would play them. Iā€™m proud I managed to convince the presenter John Raitt to play this one!

Nice one.

I really love the Withnail & I soundtrack too.

Oh, and The Battle of Britain soundtrack for Waltonā€™s sublime ā€œBattle in the Airā€.

By coincidence I watched Withnail & I last night - umpteenth time I have seen it and it is well known itā€™s a masterpiece. I agree about the soundtrack - the original music is great, and the existing material is very well placed IMO. I bought the King Curtis record on the strength of the opening to this film.

Not a whole soundtrack, but ā€˜On Body And Soulā€™ is one of my favourite films of all time and the Laura Marling track, ā€˜What He Wroteā€™ is used with wonderful effect in it.

In fact Iā€™ve got very emotional just watching this you tube clip, so much so I MUST watch the film again NOW.
