Dim The Lights And Duck Out Of Sight
by Victor Valentine (October 7, 2006)

Low budget 1950's American gangster melodrama starring Richard Egan and Dan Duryea deals with corruption on the waterfront with background music utilizing Richard Rogers classic ballet score "Slaughter On Tenth Avenue" adapted by Herschel Burke Gilbert.

A strange and interesting mood piece it is. With a sense of sinister underworld elements waiting for a clean shot at their target this recording from the Decca label is best experience with the cutains drawn and lights dimmed.

Enjoy the threatening strains of big screen jazz and moody under scoring by carefully dropping the tone arm
of your turntable upon the first groove side one of this classic platter of black monophonic vinyl from 1957 and allow yourself to be transported back some 50 years to another era of home entertainment. *****
