Claude Bolling

Le Magnifique(2LP) White

FIRST COMPLETE VINYL EDITION OF THE MUSIC FROM PHILIPPE DE BROCA’S CULT FILM, INCLUDING UNRELEASED TRACKS AND ALTERNATE TAKES

At a time when the film is being restored in 4K, CAM Sugar and Decca Records are offering the first complete vinyl version of this Magnifique score, in double LP format, combining the original 1973 album with previously unreleased tracks and alternative takes from the CAM Sugar archives. 

A score on a tightrope between realism and fantasy, mariachi, romantic outbursts, frenzied boleros and James-Bondian nods: the lush music of Le Magnifique establishes Claude Bolling as Henry Mancini's French cousin.  

This double LP is available with two distinct covers, one a tribute to the visuals in Bob Saint-Clar's novels, and also features an interview with Claude Bolling. 

A must-have edition to celebrate half a century of a highly original soundtrack where melancholy lies behind fantasy and South American rhythms
