Presenting composer Les Baxter’s (THE DUNWICH HORROR, PANIC IN THE YEAR ZERO, THE RAVEN, HELL’S BELLES, BIKINI BEACH) original score to the 1965 AIP beach party classic BEACH BLANKET BINGO, starring Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello, directed by William Asher. Mr. Baxter’s fun, and naturally far-out and groovy, music serves an outstanding example of the indelible sound he crafted for all of AIP’s beach-themed musical comedies. Produced by Ford A. Thaxton and James Nelson, and mastered by James Nelson, this release is limited to 1200 units and features in-depth, exclusive liner notes by Randall Larson. Due to licensing rights issues, the music-only backing tracks of the film’s songs appear here without vocals. Given the condition of the master tapes, having been in storage for more than 45 years, the tracks on this release were painstakingly enhanced to the best quality possible.
