Limited white colored vinyl LP pressing. A Degree of Murder (Mord und Totschlag) is Volker Schlöndorff's 1967 cult classic, blending crime thriller, dark comedy, and New German Cinema. Starring Anita Pallenberg as the enigmatic Marie, the film follows a young woman who, after accidentally killing her ex-boyfriend, embarks on a surreal road trip with two strangers to dispose of the body. The film's iconic status is largely due to the soundtrack, composed by Rolling Stones founder Brian Jones, who was Pallenberg's partner at the time. His experimental, haunting score perfectly underscores the film's uneasy mood. Jones utilized many session musicians, but most notable is the contribution of then Yardbird Jimmy Page. To hear two of the greatest sonic architects of British rock music playing guitars together is an unbelievably moving and almost spiritual experience. This release marks the first official release of Jones' legendary score.
