...Unreleased Soundtracks From The De Wolfe Music Library As Featured In The Shaw Brothers Martial Arts Movies 1976-1984. Originally released in 2007. In collaboration with Joel Martin, one-half of Quiet Village, the De Wolfe Music Library have curated and compiled (with love) some rare slices of original soundtrack ephemera from their 100 year-old vaults. This is the second in the De Wolfe re-issue series, collecting unreleased music from the Shaw Brothers' Kung Fu movies. The Shaw Brothers movies are the acknowledged inspiration behind Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill series of martial arts movies (the director even used the infamous Shaw "SB" logo at the beginning of the movie). Kung Fu Super Sounds features 43 original cues from classic films such as Return To The 26th Chamber, The Bastard Swordsman, Dirty Ho, Invincible Shaolin, The Kung Fu Instructor, House Of Traps, Shoalin Mantis, and many more! The catalog of music libraries such as De Wolfe have proven a treasure trove of unearthed breaks and rare gems for fans of northern soul, psych rock, funk, Krautrock and easy listening. Collectors and compilers such as Jonny Trunk, the B-Music collective (Andy Votel, Cherrystones) and David Holmes have mined all the best from the catalog and compiled them into reissues and anthologies that are the first of their kind and have become prized collector's items. Based in the UK, the De Wolfe Music Library is the longest-running and most important film music resource library in the world. The Shaw Brothers martial arts movies are the absolute year zero for Kung Fu flicks, and these themes are an absolute must for every sane DJ or music collector. Includes a 20-page booklet.
