Day Of The Wolves [Orange Red Bad Blood Vinyl]

The late rock’n’roll iconoclast Sean Bonniwell is famous among garage rockers and proto punks alike for his leadership of the incomparable Music Machine and their 1966 nugget, “Talk Talk.” Now, in cooperation with the Bonniwell estate, Real Gone Music is exploring a side of the enigmatic singer-songwriter that very few know about. After the demise of the Machine, Bonniwell briefly moved into soundtrack work and oversaw the scores to a handful of cult “B” movies, among them 1970’s Night of the Witches and 1971’s Day of the Wolves. These two are now being issued for the very first time by Real Gone Music, lovingly remastered from the original source tapes for top-notch sound, and presented on standalone vinyl LPs featuring original promotional artwork. Starring Richard Egan, 1971’s The Day of the Wolves is a solid cult classic, and an early example of the “heist” movie, whereby a team of organized criminals take over a whole town in order to ransack it. While mostly instrumental, Bonniwell’s rock score for Wolves is consistently noted in reviews of the film as one of its defining aspects, and will definitely whet the appetite of spaghetti western Morricone fans. The lengthy opening cut is a tour de force of edgy guitar riffs, anguished vocals and compelling breakbeats. Pressed in orange and red “bad blood” vinyl limited to 900 copies…never before available!
