Turntable Time Vol. 3: A Schifrin record that will not be released on Aleph
Why not, you may ask.
Well, the reason may be that this is not really one of Schifrin's greatest acomplishments. If it wasn't composed by Schifrin, one even might say it is crap. But even to the devoted fan it would be hard to consider it a masterpiece.
What the hell I'm talking about ?
I speak of his attempt to make a "pop" record, after he tried with two disco tracks on the "Nunzio" score (which aren't that bad) also in 1978 he made a full LP in disco style called "Fire and Ice", orchestrated by his pupil Kim Richmond and with lyrics by his wife Donna ("Burn, Baby, Burn").
It doesn't start that bad, like a less quality variation of the Rollercoaster theme (1977), but from there it goes down the hill. But perhaps this is just my taste and you all will think that this record is the best thing Schifrin ever made. Could be, but it's unlikely.
But listen to it yourself:

This proves that nobody escaped the DISCO ERA without having something to be embarrassed about.
Even our dear Lalo! ;)
I would like to request a re up this.
Possible?
