Product Description

CD Description

Having started out as a series of autobiographical stories by writer Nell Dunn dealing with working class life and people in south London, UP THE JUNCTION made the transition to novel, television docu-drama, and eventually the big screen within five years. Jointly written by Mike Hugg and Manfred Mann, the soundtrack to Peter Collinson's controversial 1968 film was mainly performed by the composers, using session musicians where necessary. The full Manfred Mann group can only be heard on the title song, although singer Mike d'Abo does take most of the album's vocals.
The main "Up The Junction" theme occurs in four versions including a jazz-tinged reading that sets the mood for much of the soundtrack. The jazz influence is particularly in evidence in "Sheila's Dance", "Belgravia", and the menacing "Wailing Horn". Two versionsof the haunting "Love Theme" and a clutch of songs from thepen of the talented Mr. Hugg complete a stand-alone soundtrack which, according to the director himself, "will still exist long after the film has been forgotten". A bonus track, "Sleepy Hollow", B-side of the "Up The Junction" single, hasthoughtfully been included for completists.

4.0 out of 5 stars Manfred Man in the lounge bar, 21 Nov 2002
By Jkp Gleave "Omni" (Hamilton New Zealand) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is not elevator music, rather a smooth almost jazz like sound track that catches the mood of London in the late sixties.
There is a catchy melody that becomes the theme (sound track or concept album) different songs return to this melody tieing it all together, this is a really good album to mellow out to - years ago I worked in a second hand record shop and every morning I'd put this album on first thing while opening the shop, and I never grew tired of it, there is variation of music styles and although Dennis Waterman graces the cover we are relieved of the agony of hearing him sing - I'll be so good for you!
