This mix started life as a bigger project to circumnavigate the globe musically, which was more than likely too large a task. Eventually I got impatient with trying to piece it all together and so started to cull off a number of tracks.

What we have here is the finished article, a 30 minute travelogue and tribute to the novelty of air travel in the 70's.

Fasten your seatbelt and extinguish your cigarette, recline and enjoy your flight on September 70 airlines.


Enjoy.

Les Baxter - Hell's Belles


Les Baxter - Hell's Belles
Les Baxter - Hell's Belles [Sidewalk - ST-5919]


Les Baxter - Hot Wind (US, 1968)




I have been listening to a lot of Biker soundtracks recently, and there are none quite as good as 'Hell's Belles'.

Like a lot of soundtrack albums it's not 100% perfect, some of it hasn't dated brilliantly, but it's well worth a listen for 'Hot Wind', the magnificent 'Chain Fight' and the mighty 'Hogin' Machine'.
