Alan Parker
One Summer: Original Score to the 1983 TV Series (7")
Temporary Super Offer! *2024 stock* Previously unreleased schizo post-punk/Moogy folk score for the 1983 British scouseploitation TV drama One Summer from the vault of guitarist and composer Alan Parker, best-kept secret session man for Kate Bush, Serge Gainsbourg, and David Bowie. Composed to cue for the five-part series (that TV commissioners were too scared to revisit), Parker's bursts of self-propelled small-screen scoring came in one-to-two-minute spells, allowing Finders Keepers to comfortably fit the entire soundtrack on one 7".
