Description
This definitive reissue presents Galt MacDermot’s quirky and impressionistic soundtrack for Martine Barrat’s film for Yves St. Laurent, mastered in an all-analog transfer by Bernie Grundman from the original stereo tapes.
The package includes an extensive oversized booklet featuring a detailed essay on MacDermot’s life and work by Now-Again Records founder Eothen Alapatt, along with rare and unpublished photographs.
Officially sanctioned and released for Record Store Day, this album highlights MacDermot’s unique fusion of jazz, R&B, rock, and global influences. Though often labeled a rock or funk composer, MacDermot’s music defies easy categorization, blending minimal yet beautiful melodies with carefully crafted rhythms. His timeless compositions leave a lingering emotional impact—both poignant and inviting—a testament to his artistry and the creative synergy with collaborators like Idris Muhammad and Bernard Purdie.
