Vocalion have the rare ability to continuously satisfy. Not only does the label re-connect us to the past with essential CD reissues, but also through re-recordings of long forgotten and often overlooked classics. Vocalion’s three latest CD releases continue to exemplify these principles, and all with a certain sense of style.
Themes from The Exorcist (1974) and Flashpoint (1975) are two albums from Ray Davies and the Button Down Brass. As albums, they formed part of an essential collective, an audio treasury that would find their way into the hands of young and enthusiastic kids, particularly of those who displayed an early interest and love of both cinema and TV. They were usually the affordable route; a few weeks pocket money would often result in one of these albums making it into the comforting domain of your bedroom. Sat alongside your Geoff Love compilations, they would provide countless hours of repeated enjoyment.

It is Hampton, Virginia. The year is 1976. A young, suburban couple, Norma and Arthur Lewis, are awaken by their doorbell at 5:45 in the morning. On their doorstep is a package. Inside the package are two items, a wooden box with a large, red button covered by a locked, glass dome on top, and a note stating Mr. Steward will be arriving at 5:00 that evening. At that time, a strange man with a disfigured face arrives. He explains to Norma that, should she and her husband press the button, two thing will happen. They will be awarded $1 million and someone who they do not know will die. They have 24 hours to choose.
