Gordon Parks - The Learning Tree (1970)

blaxploitation.com
One for completists only, this score from Gordon Parks is a pretty tired affair, typically dated 1960s soundtrack music with only one beaty track, a pastiche jazz piece with nice drums spoiled by a bad vocal.

Available for the first time ever on any format! The Human Tornado Original Motion Picture soundtrack transfered from the original master tapes and packaged in a beautiful thick stock vintage 'paste-on' style sleeve with obi strip. Produced by T. Toney and Rudy Ray Moore himself.

Once again the name Rudy Ray Moore means action! In this sequel to the cult smash Dolemite, we find our hero on the run from a redneck sheriff who has caught Dolemite messin' with his woman. He and his posse (including a young Ernie Hudson) dodge the sheriff and his bullets in a high-speed chase that takes them to L.A. Upon Dolemite's arrival, he learns that Queen Bee (Lady Reed) and her Kung Fu Girls have been pushed out of the nightclub business by a ruthless competitor who has ties to the Mob. With two of the girls held hostage, the Queen and her bees are forced into slavery for their nemesis.

Enter Dolemite! Following a scene described by Rudy Ray himself as "sensational and sexsational," Dolemite gets the lowdown on the gang's hideout. It's highspeed kung fu Dolemite-style as the rat soup eatin' motherf***ers get their collective ass kicked. But the redeneck sheriff is still hot on Dolemite's trail - can even a Human Tornado fight two battles at once?

Known as the 'King of the Party Records', Rudy Ray Moore is famous for his special brand of 'blue' humor based largely on traditional ghetto folklore that has been passed down through several generations. His character Dolemite made the transition to motion pictures in the hugely successful film of the same name.

Black Emanuelle (1975)

Starring:

• Laura Gemser
• Karin Schubert
• Angelo Infanti
• Isabelle Marchall

IMDB.com
The main reason to check this one out is to watch Laura Gemser in all her glory. That's reason enough for me. She heads to Africa as guests of another rich guy that seems to be all over these films. Huge mansion near the jungle. Hunters staying around for parties when they aren't out hunting zebras. And said parties becoming drunken orgies. All the high society types in the Emanuelle films seem to have out of control fetishes. And Emanuelle beds most of them.

The Story Of A 3-Day Pass aka La Permission (1968)

Starring:

• Harry Baird
• Pierre Doris
• Christian Marin
• Nicole Berger
• Karell Jonathan Beer
• Jon Carlson

The Story of a Three-Day Pass is a 1968 film written and directed by Melvin Van Peebles based on his novel La Permission. It tells the story of Turner (Harry Baird), a Black army man who meets a White Parisian named Miriam (Nicole Berger). The pair spends a weekend together, enjoying their romance but also struggling with the complexities of racism. Eventually their miscegenation is reported to Turner's Captain (Hal Brav) and he's restricted to barracks where he realizes the futility of such amorous adventures- from Wikipedia

Note: As you see listed on the immediate right hand side of this post, the original soundtrack for "La Permission" along with a great deal of Melvin Van Peebles recordings are very hard to come by.
