Various - The Man Who Fell To Earth

David Bowie's 1976 film "The Man Who Fell to Earth" reached cult status due to Bowie's outstanding performance and confirmed the film's director Nic Roeg, and book's author Walter Tevis, as champions of their respective fields. The highly celebrated music is finally available on vinyl. Please note that David Bowie, himself, does not perform on this soundtrack.

The Deluxe boxset features a poster, production stills, a coffee table book containing the story of the soundtrack, 48-page hardback book with rare photos and a new essay about the film from Paolo Hewitt. John Phillips of the Mamas and Papas composed and recorded much of the music for the film. The majority of Phillips’ compositions have been unavailable for 40 years, until now.

Little is known, and much has been asked, as to why the soundtrack was never originally released. Due to lost tapes recently being uncovered it is now possible to present the original recordings.
