For a brief history of Basil Kirchin please click here.

Shock horror, it's the legendary underground sleaze-fest of a documentary released in 1965. The long awaited Basil Kirchin score to the the classic 1965 London mondo film known as Primitive London is now here on both vinyl and CD. The score is classic Kirchin, all instant rhythms, peculiar melodies and unexpected musical moments. And tracks two and three on the score are identical to Taxi Driver by Bernard Herrmann (1977) which is all a bit spooky. The score also comes with the music from the 1971 London thriller "The Freelance" which no one seems to know anything about except that it stars Ian McShane. Both scores are unreleased until now.

Here's a review from Wire Magazine.
