Alden Shuman - The Devil in Miss Jones--Original Soundtrack Recording LP (Hellfire Vinyl)
There was a time, back in the ‘70s before it became the ubiquitous, mass-produced product it is today, that pornography made a bid to become taken seriously as an art form. And it was this film, The Devil in Miss Jones, that made the biggest leap forward both commercially and artistically. Made by Gerard Damiano after his success with Deep Throat, and based on Jean-Paul Sartre’s play No Exit, the film tells the story of a lonely spinster who, after she commits suicide, is denied entrance to heaven and is condemned to limbo. She then decides she’d rather go back to earth and “earn” her place in hell by practicing the deadly sin of lust. The Devil in Miss Jones wound up being the seventh highest-grossing film of 1973, and set new standards for production value and, yes, musical scoring. Alden Shuman’s soundtrack wasn’t the usual monotonous wah-wah of the time, but a sweeping, panoramic, and plaintive score played by piano and full orchestra. It’s never been reissued on LP before; our Real Gone release comes in limited (to 900 copies) hellfire vinyl that you can watch spin…for eternity.
