One of my all time favorite movies. To my taste neither Dustin Hoffman nor Jon Voigt have ever done better. And this soundtrack isn't bad either. Supervised by foremost Bond-composer John Barry (1933-2011) and offering not only the classic Nilsson cover of "Everybody's Talking" and the Barry-penned award-winning theme song. I also get two numbers from shortlived US psych band The Group, two from Elephant's Memory and one from US singer/songwriter Leslie (Lesly?) Miller. Lot's of good music to enjoy, movie or not. And the audio on this UK press is smashing - loud and perfectly clear. So even if you haven't seen the film or for some strange reason don't like it it's still good listening all the way. Issued and reissued on about every possible format all over the world through the years. Spanish 2020 2xCD on Quartet Records (QR434) came with tons of bonus material. Premiere US on U.A. (UAS 5198). First UK had label as shown here in a laminated cover. (ZÖNT*)

I was playing this very version of the album last weekend. I was very pleasantly surprised by 'Old Man Willow'. It sounds remarkably modern, unlike their other track, and their work with John Lennon.
SvaraRaderaBTW, the full version of 'Everybody's Talkin' (side A track 1) is exclusive to this album, as it's a different version from the one on Nilsson's album.
Thanks Gary! Didn't know that about ET and it's very nice to be enlightened. Makes this even more enjoyable.
RaderaI do agree bout OMW. Doesn't sound like regular Elephant's Memory at all.
