Deluxe three CD edition presented in a hardback book format with a huge booklet boasting a new, 15,000 essay from film soundtrack writer Charlie Brigden and a foreword from Paul Fishman, as well as numerous images from this most iconic of movies. Released in 1971, Get Carter all but defined a new breed of gritty British gangster film, portraying career criminals in a more brutal yet three-dimensional fashion (a style later adopted to great effect by TV series The Sweeney). Directed by Mike Hodges and starring Michael Caine, the film has grown in stature over the years - fueled in great part by the amazing soundtrack by British jazz maestro Roy Budd. This new and improved edition of Get Carter offers three CDs of music from Roy Budd - the first two devoted to the film's soundtrack and the third to the best Roy Budd's other scores. Disc 1 re-presents the original Japanese soundtrack, with the addition of 'Hallucinations' (which graced the soundtrack but not the LP). Disc 2 combines other incidental music from the film with single mixes and remixes and other rarities. And you can hear soundtrack highlights from the likes of Diamonds, Fear Is The Key, The Stone Killer and The Black Windmill on Disc 3.
