I remember looking this LP over time and again at record stores in the 80's, fascinated by the dual soundtrack. But I never saw the movie (don't even know if it got released long enough to see it), didn't know who Alex North was at the time, wasn't into the Band, so I never took a chance. 35 years later, I'm taking a chance.

...and so glad I did, finally! This is a great album, all instrumental except for the Fat Man mentioned above. A terrific sleazy, bluesy, creepy, lovely, screwy 36 minutes, with a terrific segue from the Robertson half to the North half. And North's final Carny theme has some fun connections to his Dragonslayer score, and some wind writing out of The Devil's Brigade.
The album would make great Halloween music for those who want something more Ray Bradbury than Stephen King. If you're a fan of North, as Robertson is, it's very much worth adding to the collection.
