From Deep Throat Anthology, Parts I & II : Light In The Attic : LITA 010

These sounds come to you straight from the movie that set off a revolution. Yes, I’m talking about THAT movie. When Deep Throat was launched on the unsuspecting public in 1972, no one knew that this movie would introduce the mainstream world to pornographic movies. But this $22,000 production went on to gross over 600 million dollars and was one of the first hard-core sex films to be shown in mainstream movie theaters.

But no accountant could explain what a sensation Deep Throat had become. This little flick was spreading like Chlamydia at a rural college. It was worldwide news. …Within its first month of release, Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. owned personal reels, and even President Richard Nixon demanded that a copy be sent to the White House for a private screening….Mayor John Lindsay banned the fim in New York, no doubt after wanking to it several times in the course of his investigation, and loads of obscenity suits were launched across America.

(from the liner notes)

But enough about the movie. On to the music. By all accounts, this soundtrack is the perfect accompaniment to what’s being shown on the screen. Believe it or not, I’ve never actually seen this move, but thanks to this music, I can really imagine what’s going on. The thing of it is, is that the director actually took his work very seriously. The music for this movie isn’t just your standard boom-chika-chika porn preset on the keyboard. This is some artfully crafted funk/lounge music. So, take a listen to this and get ready to cue up those images in your head.
