DR. GOLDFOOT & THE GIRL BOMBS/ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SCORE T 5053 (-66) US MONO


 Soundtrack to film which allegedly was a kind of parody of at the time popular spy movies, but also seems to have been a chance to show pretty girls running around more or less naked and to make sly sexual comments (more on that in this Wikipedia article   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Goldfoot_and_the_Bikini_Machine#Cast ). I haven't seen it and have no desire to do that, but since this soundtrack has a couple of for me hitherto unknown combos I'm curious if it has something to offer. Starting with a dramatic title song by girl trio The Sloopys, who apart from this only issued one more single 1967 on Sidewalk label. The contribution from the more productive American singer-songwriter Terry Stafford  (1941-96) is a sweet love ballad and quite all right for its time and place. The Bobby Lile track heavily orchestrated perky easy listening. The Paul & The Pack cut rather catchy light pop and the male/female duo The Candles provides some orchestrated tralala to uptempo rhythms. The rest instrumentals by a combo called Mad Doctors, who apparently didn't record anything except this. Those sound rather bland to me now, but I guess meaning a lot to the plot. So a rocky road listening through, but to me the ones by The Sloopys, Terry Stafford and Paul & The Pack makes it ok and a keeper after all. To my knowledge this US was the only issue, also as duophonic stereo (DT 5053). It had label as shown here in a glossy cover.  (YZÄ*)  (FÄV*) (ÖXCÅ*)  (ZÖNT*)
