Soundtrack to a sort of semi-erotic movie of a kind common late sixties to early seventies. This about a young man trying to lose his virginity by hitting on a number of girls. Haven't seen it myself, but it was re-released on DVD and Blue-Ray 2010 if I should want to eventually. I do find this soundtrack intriguing. Not the common mix of background music and a couple of songs you could expect, instead twelve good songs from major acts, some initially exclusive to this. Andy Ellison may not be recognized as major today, but back then he was member of known psych band John's Children https://monolover.blogspot.com/2016/09/johns-childrenin-midsummer-night-scene.html together with Marc Bolan. The Traffic title song was also released as a 45, while "Utterly Simple" is another version than on their "Mr. Fantasy" LP and "Am I What I Was Or Was I What I Am" exclusive to this. Spencer Davis "Looking Back" released as a 45, while their remaining seven songs took off here. Most of them have shown up on later compilations or as bonus tracks, but this was the original. To my ears all together an appealing psych pop compilation carried by mostly very good audio. Favorite tracks - the Traffic and Andy Ellison cuts plus a number of Spencer Davis ones, like "Picture Of Her" or "Possession". Issued on vinyl 1968 in US (UAS 5175/UAL 4175), UK (S/ULP 1186), all over Europe, Downunder, Japan and a couple of South American countries. Also US 8-track and Reel. UK 1997 CD on RPM Records (RPM 179) came with four alternate versions as bonus tracks. First German had label as shown here in a fully laminated cover. (GÖXÄ*) (TXÄW*) (SÄM*) (ZÖNT*)
