Phantom Of The Paradise - Original Soundtrack Recording
1974 Canada pressing

Last spin of the night.

A great soundtrack to a very weird movie.
As a songwriter myself, I adore Paul Williams.
As a kid, it started with “Rainbow Connection”, but as I got into my teens, I discovered this batshit fucking movie that not only STARS Paul, but was scored by him as well. The film sent me into a deep dive of Paul’s songwriting, and exposed me to just how brilliant he is.

It’s a very odd movie, and so are the songs, and not everybody is a fan. I can’t explain why it made such an impression on me as a teenager, or why it’s stayed with me all these years, but it’s essentially MY Rocky Horror Picture Show.

But I fully understand why people hate it. 😂

I’m just not one of those people.
