Blue Phantom's sole album contains 10 heavy psych instrumentals, and is technically under the category of "incidental music for film and TV". That would be one hell of a film if anyone checked this one out of the "library". Apparently the trash master Jess Franco did in fact borrow some tracks for one of his sleaze-a-thons (of course he did). All the same, unlike most film music, these tracks are fully realized and not just sketches of songs. So not only do you get the cool period instrumentation - heavy fuzz guitar in particular - but the tracks are well written with memorable melodies. File Blue Phantom next to your Braen's Machine, Fourth Sensation, and Psycheground albums.
Ownership: LP: 1971 Kaleidoscope (UK). Recent online acquisition that replaces the AMS reissue LP that made up this original entry. Single sleeve with cool psychedelic artwork. My first copy of this album goes back to the early 90s and a white label bootleg, with the same cover as this (cheaply made, however).
