CLASSIC HAMMER FILMS 'SOUNDS TERRIFYING' AND THE SOUNDS OF BIRDSONG FROM PETER CUSHING'S WINDOW!

BIRDS MY WINDOW : Peter Cushing : Whitstable, as noted on the Facebook PCASUK Fan Page today by  Anthony Stuchbury, a page from the RSPB members magazine1974. Sadly, I don't have the whole magazine, just that one little page, since the original founder of the society, Gladys Fletcher gave it to me back in 1978! PC seemed to appear in quite a few nature magazines back then...
 

WITHOUT DOUBT, these are amazing recordings, of TWO classic Peter Cushing / Christopher Lee Hammer films, 1957 'The Curse of Frankenstein' and the 58 'Dracula /Horror of Dracula'. For some, the best of the Hammer film scores by James Bernard. Both available in a very neat and impressive package. This is a USA release, with gatefold sleeve containing two vinyl LP'S in ghoulish green and blood red! Here is the listing and you'll find the contact details below - Marcus

World Premiere Recordings of the Complete Scores from Two Classic Hammer Films of the 1950s
 
THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN starred Peter Cushing as Baron Victor Frankenstein and Christopher Lee as The Creature. This outstanding 1957 horror film began a whole series of films starring these two great icons of terror and was one of the best movies from Hammer Productions.
 
DRACULA, made in 1958, also starred Peter Cushing (as Doctor Van Helsing) and Christopher Lee (as Count Dracula). It is difficult to overestimate the significance of DRACULA as it set the tone for Hammer’s movie output over the next two decades when British horror films were among the most admired and popular films.
 
DRACULA created international stars out of Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. The music for both these films was composed by James Bernard, who created music for many more classic Hammer films including: SHE * THE QUATERMASS XPERIMENT * THE DAMNED * DRACULA: PRINCE OF DARKNESS * THE DEVIL RIDES OUT * TASTE THE BLOOD OF DRACULA * THE LEGEND OF THE 7 GOLDEN VAMPIRES
