ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK Wonders Of The Underwater World (Mega Rare 1981 UK private press 4-track LP, which attempts to capture the awesome splendour of an underwater environment on film with synth-drone wash outs, exploratory pads & experimental synthesis. The composer was Jezz Woodroffe, former keyboardist with Black Sabbath, although this should appeal more to cult soundtrack collectors. This one is so rare it has yet to hit the online market! The unique picture sleeve is complete with an illustrated inner, both detailing these mood pieces & all the electronic synths that were used. The sleeve shows some corner creasing & a small sticker tear top right, but minimal shelf wear. The vinyl exhibits some faint cosmetic wear with just a light effect on playback. Who knows the true value of this rarity?! NELSLP1).

How in the [underwater] hell did this not show up on discogs earlier? It is such a stunning record! Never heard of Jezz Woodroffe before but this lavish record must be his masterpiece! Everything about it is so fresh & extravagant (high gloss picture cover, detailed sleeve notes on literally everything about this project, lush inner sleeve with even more pictures and extensive song descriptions, fancy cat-and-mouse private label design & all those little details), one would think many many thousand copies of this were [intended to be] sold. Au contraire: It seems like very few of these were made and even less went over the counter. What looks like a strange [underwater] record, that one of those Instagram chumps would love to brag about, must have suffered a dark destiny.
Nowadays these kind of records go for quite big money, but I guess most of the copies of this album ended up in the dollar bin or even in the waste bin some time later... This seems to be only reasonable explanation why this record does not show up anywhere. Everything I found after a online research, was this being mentioned on Jonny White's blog. Unfortunately he was not able to find much about the movie, this soundtrack album was made for, but it's a great review and you can hear actual sound samples over there. This is what this record is all about!
It's four long compositions and the music is kind of minimalistic but really captivating, using a lot of [now] vintage synth keyboards. The list of the equipment being used is loooooong! I would say some parts of the record sound a little Tangerine Dreamesque but others may disagree. Anyway, this does not sound like the usual boring ambient stuff and has a lot of complex sound structures. Some parts remind me of Fabio Fabor - Aquarium for their funkyness, which is no surprise as they come from the same era. Some parts sound a little psychedelic, too! What I also really enjoy, is the samples that were added. I assume these come from straight from the shootings? Also the fact that the music was created in front of a big screen with tons of electronic machines is kind of appealing even if it does not add anything to the music.
All in all a great [lost] soundtrack record which destiny we will probably never find out. Look for it in the lower bins of your favourite UK record shop for £1.00 or on discogs or ebay for $1,000,000...

Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide:
"MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler."
