Up the Junction


Hey psychedelic rangers, don't let this one pass you by.

Manfred Mann's soundtrack for the film, "Up the Junction" - http://www.allmusic.com/album/up-the-junction-mw0000057497

Released in February 1968 as the score to a very gritty UK melodrama, it's totally in the Traffic - Family - Pink Floyd mood of the times. Spacey melodic songs and universally excellent jazz/psych instrumentals. It's Herbie Hancock's "Blow-Up" soundtrack meets Syd Barrett's Floyd. Who knew? This was the band known best for "Doo Wah Diddy Diddy."

Prepare yourself for a most enjoyable listening experience.
