Les Baxter composed many soundtracks for American International Pictures, one of the largest B-movie studios of the 50's - 60's. AIP often bought the American rights to European horror films and then commissioned a new soundtrack, tinkered a bit with the editing and released them to drive-ins. One of my all time favorite film scores is Les Baxter's HELL'S BELLES. Here is a link to read about a few other scores he's done: http://www.blaxploitation.com/straxgrp.html Unfortunately, they are all out of print. If anyone has any cool Baxter scores and want to trade CDR's drop me a private message, I'd love to hear more.
