Title: Good Vibrations: A Record Shop, a Label, a Film Soundtrack
Condition: New
Description: EDITORIAL REVIEWS
The film Good Vibrations was released late last year to great acclaim, with luminaries such as Roger Daltrey and Bono raving about the film s excellence. The story follows the turbulent life of record collector, DJ, record shop owner, record label owner and dance promoter Terri Hooley from his childhood to the present day. A true roller-coaster ride with rarely a dull minute, portrayed brilliantly in this cult film. Good Vibrations has been woven together by film score writer David Holmes, who grew up listening to our releases, and Terri Hooley whose love of vintage music is the cornerstone of the story. With musical tastes formed in the late 60s and 70s, Terri has chosen some wonderful music to portray his early years. The beauty of Angie , Bert Jansch s folk guitar masterpiece, the haunting, sexually charged vocals of the Shangri-Las and the primitive clarity of Hank Williams I Saw The Light show what an eclectic fellow Terri always was. Outcast by the Animals gives a hint of the tougher side of the music eventually leading to Terri s success and was also chosen as the name for one of his label s punk bands a dozen years later. The story of how a scruffy bunch of Londonderry teenagers got their demo to Terri and virtually forced him to record it is one of the film s highlights. The established record business and a hierarchical society fought against them but boundless energy, belief and desperate measures got a copy of the Undertones Teenage Kicks to London-based DJ John Peel who made sure it did not remain an undiscovered gem. Exciting music of the time from the Saints, Stiff Little Fingers, Niney The Observer and Suicide sit well with the earlier influences of psychedelia from Ramases and Seleka and the rocksteady sound of the Upsetters. Thrown into the imaginative mix are some unclassifiable musical creations from Michael Yonkers, Jason Falconer and the Langley Schools Music Project
