| When Sun
was asked to put these on one CD he was again elated by the inspired combination
but whew, what a challenge. First, it all ran over the 80 minute time limit
of the CD. So after bouncing some ideas around the decision was made to
make the Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls sound track more accurate by removing
a dreary song that doesn't appear in the movie. A reprise of the vocal version
of the theme was also removed and "Incense & Peppermints"
which was not on the original album but was in the movie was added. Sun
had the "Incense & Peppermints" album and decided to use the
band and some of the groovy imagery from that album along with artwork from
both of the other albums. Sun also added some additional images of Barbarella
to the outside and inside of the cover. An afterthought created a few regrets
about the final design so Sun went back to work on the inside of the j-card
by adding in the Ami Rushes promo single of "Look On Up At The Bottom".
Then he snuck in a picture of Bob Crewe who composed and produced the Barbarella
score. He'd also overlooked putting a picture of The Sandpipers in the design
so he snuck them in as well. They not only sang the theme song from Beyond
The Valley Of The Dolls, they also played The Strawberry Alarm Clock in
the film! |
