A luxurious package that pays homage to what is without doubt one of the most innovative and provocative British cult horror films ever produced. Containing exclusive material from the later, longer version of the film, including the song "Gently Johnny," which was not available on early LP issues. Paul Giovanni, together with Magnet, has created a mysterious and sinister world that has a life of it's own nearly 30 years after the film's initial release; flutes, lyres, harmonicas, and guitars, mixed in with original and traditional material makes each song totally different, summing up the atmosphere of the movie brilliantly!
