UK-based mail order webstore, Movie Grooves, promises to bring you "the grooviest, jazziest, sleaziest, easiest, funkiest and scariest cult movie soundtracks and funky and groovy library music from the 60s & 70s." Well that's the mission and they duly deliver, but do they deliver?

As a sometimes customer myself, I can personally vouch that they do. Their "by fans, for fans" mentality really does pay off, with the result a glorious wealth of lesser-known and hard to find soundtracks plucked with a passion belied by their 1000+ titles. It really is a virtual world of musical loveliness and one which will doubtless take you into somewhat of a temporal black hole as you rifle through the titles and genres on offer here. They have rather thoughfully provided the addition of audio samples so you can have a snaffle of the delights for yourself before committing yourself to purchase.

I myself went a little Italiano on the soundtrack front, purchasing the following titles:

A Trip? Just A Little...Beat - "A taste of pure Psychedelia in the Italian 60's"

Beretta 70 - "Roaring Themes from Thrilling Italian Police Films (1971-1980)"

Cinecocktail : Calibro 3 - "Funky Energy From The Best Scores of Violent Italian Cop Thrillers"

Well, I can certainly say that customer satisfaction abounded as I was audibly furnished with a delicious array of goodies from the strange and the twee to a hefty dose of rare beats and cool synths. Undeniably a magnificent source for retro classics. Praise be!
