Valley of the Dolls: Soundtrack by John Williams/André Previn 1967 Remastered CD-New $66.99
- Description Valley of the Dolls 1967 by André Previn Valley of the Dolls is a 1967 film soundtrack album released by 20th Century Fox Records, from the studio’s film of the same name. It features several songs performed in the film, as well as the musical score by John Williams and Dory and André Previn. In Valley of the Dolls, Anne Welles, a bright, brash young New England college grad leaves her Peyton Place-ish small town and heads for Broadway, where she hopes to find an exciting job and sophisticated men. During her misadventures in Manhattan and, later, Hollywood, she shares experiences with two other young hopefuls: Jennifer North, a statuesque, Monroe-ish actress who wants to be accepted as a human being, but is regarded as a sex object by all the men she meets, and Neely O’Hara, a talented young actress who’s accused of using devious means by a great older star (Helen Lawson) to reach the top, pulling an “All About Eve”-type deception in order to steal a good role away from her.

CD - THE BELFAST SESSIONS
This, our latest collection of songs, was recorded at RedBox Studios in Belfast. We’ve wanted to record there for awhile now and finally the timing was right for all. Dónal O’Connor one of the owners, produced it with expertise, poise, patience and not a few threats, the main one being “no more Guinness till youse get this track right.” Inspirational words indeed! He was somehow able to corral us and steer us in the right direction on each song. I’m sure he’d love to work with us again – maybe! We had a great time all together recording there, and hopefully dear fans you’ll enjoy listening. In these uncertain times remember, music hath charms to soothe a savage breast. I think that was a quote from Paul McCartney, or possibly Bob Dylan. Enjoy!
