Blow-Up
MGM
12/15/1966
“A young Herbie Hancock contributed the bulk of the score to Michelangelo Antonioni’s 1966 screen classic, evoking the ambience of swinging London with grooves that create effective bluesy moods on the slow pieces, and funky ones on the up-tempo tracks. Rock fans remember the film and the soundtrack for the inclusion of a rare Yardbirds number, “Stroll On” (actually, an adaptation of “The Train Kept A-Rollin'”), one of only three songs they recorded with both Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page on guitars. That cut is also included (although it’s also been reissued elsewhere).” – Allmusic
