Between 1959 and 1972, the German Edgar Wallace “Krimis”, mainly produced by Rialto Film, became the longest-running film series in West Germany. The film adaptations of the British crime writer’s works were a great success right from the start, not least due to the unconventional use of significant music.<\/p>\n
Peter Thomas was responsible for the unmistakable sound of almost half of these thrillers (18 out of 38). Depending on the budget, he was able to let off steam: screams, gunshots, the clicking of switchblades – he used whatever he liked.<\/p>\n
This album contains all 17 theme tunes and six other pieces that Peter Thomas wrote for the Wallace series between 1961 and 1971. It is therefore the first compilation to include all the films in the series for which Peter Thomas provided the music. Five of the tracks are previously unreleased. The CD contains four bonus tracks that were already on the long out of print Best of Edgar Wallace CD from 2000.<\/p>\n
Once again Adrian Keindorf is responsible for the great illustrations on and in the digipack of the CD.<\/p>\n
