***Calm down dear, it’s only the wicked lady.***

Hello listeners and thank you for your patience. This week we present our review of The Wicked Lady soundtrack by Tony Banks.

Released on 22nd July 1983, this film was directed by veteran British director Michael Winner, fresh off the success of Deathwish 2. In subject matter it’s something of a departure from that movie but it maintains the low class sleaze of the action shooter. Something of a remake of the 1945 film of the same name, it features some typical early 80’s nudity and sex, tied to a story that seems to be too long for it’s roughly 90 minute run time.

And who better to score a bawdy period drama than everyone’s favourite Genesis keyboard player Tony Banks? Technically, this is Tony’s second solo album, coming out in April 1983 (a full two months before The Fugitive). The original release featured his synthesiser demos on side a, with orchestral score versions on side b. The last of Tony’s albums to be released on CD, it wouldn’t get issued until 2013 (and then again in 2019 as part of the Banks Vault box set).

Anyway, we watched some of the film and then we reviewed the album. What did we think? What do I look like? An encyclopedia? Why not listen to the episode and then you’ll know. Sorry, sorry, I don’t mean to be tetchy. Watching a bad movie does that.

NEXT EPISODE: ??? This is the last episode of season 2. We’ll be back soon with more.
