Gripping music for a film made in the 70's, budd's music for most of his work was excellent! It made me watch most of the films he worked on!

Have you seen 'Get carter'? The Michael Caine version, not that Hollywood toss that soiled its name... Its a very gritty, violent and somewhat bleak film in which Michael Caine shines throughout, as an ex northeast mobster, avenging those that killed his brother. Believe me, its not one for the kiddies, but a superb gangster film for those that enjoy the element of despair and true scum against scum grit that only British gangster films can portray. It belongs a pride-of-place along side classics such as 'Villain' and 'The long Good-Friday'. Possibly even 'Scum'. This cd contains all the music from the film, even from scenes that only have moments of the music, inter-spaced by actual dialogue from the film. It really gives the listener a taste, of the pace and plot of the film, and again, I add its not one for the kiddies! my mate brought this cd many years ago, and not being as wealthy as he is, I had to wait years for the opportunity for a copy at a reasonable price. God bless ebay.... if you are a fan of Michael Caine, the film or like something along the lines of the pulp fiction soundtrack, you will like this cd. Its quite firmly placed in the late sixties/early seventies but if you have seen the film it will all make sense, although its not that important. 10/10 across the board for this triumph!Read full review
I bought the soundtrack because it compliments the film very well. The film and the soundtrack could only have come from the early 70's and in many ways both represent a bit of social history. Roy Budd evokes the time,the end of the sixties and the start of a poorer more cynical era. Empty,derelict urban drabness reflected in the cold electronic mood of some of the music.
