Here it is, yes, the one that started it all! You may at some point have purchased the "Vampyros Lesbos" soundtrack. But unless you have the original release, the one pictured above, you have not heard it all! Only this release contains all 24 tracks and they are ALL essential!
If, in your travels, you ever meet a German bloke named Peter Blumenstock, slap him on the back for me and buy him a beer. For it was he and his love of European exploitation movies - what film historian Craig Ledbetter dubbed "Eurotrash" - that gave him the inspiration to create the collector's CD label Lucertola. In 1994, for his first CD, Blumenstock released the excellent soundtrack compilation CD "The Films of Jean Rollin" to a limited edition of 1,200 copies. Now, understand that this music was really still very much a cult thing at this time. You couldn't even call it a cult, really, hardly anybody knew about this shit. And I believe that this "labor of love" release got a slow start start and those 1,200 took awhile to sell. Hard to believe now but it's true! And it's for that reason, it would seem, that upon releasing the next CD, "3 Films by Jess Franco", the run was a mere 500 copies. Lo and behold, this time around this strange new CD became a surprise blowout! (If you own one of these bad boys, go and slap yourself on the back!) So much so that the German progressive rock label Crippled Dick Hot Wax immediately picked up the rights. Only upon quickly re-releasing it the name was somewhat deceptively re-titled to "Vampyros Lesbos - Sexadelic Dance Party", a somewhat more obvious and commercially "hip" title. I say deceptive because the music tracks heard on this collection were actually used by Jess Franco for 3 different movies he shot back-to-back, all starring the lovely "Susann Korda" (aka Soledad Miranda), the titles of which are most commonly known as "She Killed in Ecstasy", "Vampyros Lesbos" and "The Devil Came From Akasava" (all released by the prolific director in 1970).
