(from Moviegrooves)
This LP is everything we were hoping it'd be... and more. Sixteen absolute killer tracks from the De Wolfe Music Library. The theme here is what we'd call 70's crime-funk - very much in the style of the stuff on the Sweeny CD (the track "Hogan's Thing" appears on both the Sweeny CD and this LP).

You get a whole range of cool dark-blaxploitation/crime soundtrack stuff - fuzz guitar funk, funky-as-hell beats, early synth and even a lovely ambient track from 1980. This LP is absolutely essential.

Hello- Thank you for taking the time to post great stuff. I have the Music DeWolfe Vol. 1 CD but it has entirely different track to the tracklist here. Are there 2 versions of this CD ?
Cheers, LL-
