January - February 1967 @ IBC and Olympic

Studios, London. Broadcast on ZDF TV 1969. In

early 1967 Brian Jones found time in between

Stones tours to record the soundtrack to the film

Mord und Totschlag, starring his then- partner Anita

Pallenberg as Marie. In the film Marie shoots her ex-

boyfriend with his own gun after he attempts to beat

her up. Instead of reporting this to the police she

hires two men to help her dump the body in a

construction site near an autobahn. Although the

film was entered into the 1967 Cannes Film Festival

it is known today chiefly for its soundtrack. The

tracks on this EP provide you with the musical

highlights from the soundtrack, which has never

officially been released. Talking to Rolling Stone in

2012 collaborator Jimmy Page said "Brian knew

what he was doing. It was quite beautiful. Some of it

was made up at the time; some of it was stuff I was

augmenting with him. I was definitely playing with

the violin bow. Brian had this guitar that had a

volume pedal – he could get gunshots with it. There

was a Mellotron there. He was moving forward with

ideas." In the film’s official press release, director

Volker Schlöndorff was delighted with the results.

"Brian's music has worked so marvellously. His

special music fits the film wonderfully - and I do not

think anyone but he could have done it." William Perks
