Alan Price - O Lucky Man!

Cut from the start of the classic film of the same name.

[@bertielis]

I for one NEVER overlooked this soundtrack. I've got it on vinyl when it first came out last century. Still sounds great.

[@mi1964amigo]

This film had a massive effect on me when I saw it in my teens. I never got it out of my mind for weeks. I never forgot the pigman. Who would think it would almost come true? Brilliant song too.

[@vyacheslavluchkin5317]

BTW, this film was demonstrated in USSR. I saw it when I studied in school,

Alan Price, ex brillant keyboard player of The Animals. Yes, he doesn't sing too bad, either. Thanks for posting.

Все кто здесь вспоминает этот фильм О, счастливчик ! Когда он вышел на экраны кинозалов в СССР, мы с другом посмотрели его раз 10-12 !! Специально ходили в кинотеатры, даже пару раз с уроков из школы сбегали. И один раз взяли с собой катушечный магнитофон и записали с жутким фоном эти песни ... Но фильм сам по себе произвёл сильное впечатление, тем более мы увлекались научной фантастикой и много её читали, всё что могли из всего доступного на то время.

1975 год

[@user-am0503]

Кствти,впервые нв бооьшом экране не наши ВИА,а английская группа

[@user-hy7tx7cy6e]

​@@user-am0503мне уже 68 лет. Я до сих пор слушаю эти песни. Такой фильм не был в истории человечества и никогда не будет

[@user-qd6vq4yo1z]

О, счастливчик в 70-х я посмотрел в начале моей юнности. Многое не понял по сюжету, но музыка поразила мозг. Это высший пилотаж. Алан в кепке за фоно в полутемном помещении и пронзительная музыка.

[@user-qd6vq4yo1z]

😄👏

[@user-et1xy7ln9u]

Сел, сэл, сэл

[@user-yg8ko5lr7m]

Сколько же я посмотрел сеансов этого фильма и всё из за песен))

[@user-fw5eq3ff8m]

Фильм тоже высший класс.

[@davidlloyd51]

This song meant a lot to me when it came out. I had it on an 8 track. Glad to have it back.

[@harryhausi4626]

The best Music ever was written

[@QueenieAlexander2000]

Me too! I've been looking for it for decades! I like all the songs in the film. Also like the film. Like the irony. Like the reality. Fantastic film. Will never forget it.

[@stevenally1457]

One of my favourite films

[@Setebos]

Loved this opening. Nice way to start a movie.

[@mordjon]

Great movie,amazing music!!!

[@soniagrgas3402]

Loved this song since I saw the movie... so good to discover it here!

[@YaroSz16]

...genialna muzyka Alana do znakomitego filmu...:-))

[@michastrzelecki1751]

tak, i film i muzyka świetne. miło widzieć, że jeszcze ktoś pamięta. :)

best super song

[@15chipshops]

Brilliant Film and Sountrack! My favourite song from the film is Sell Sell. Great stuff!!!

[@user-nj1he4fd6z]

Здорово

[@user-et1xy7ln9u]

В 1975 году любимая песня.и фильм.

[@user-hy7tx7cy6e]

Мне 68 лет. Я до сих пор слушаю песни из этого фильма . Это не та Англия , которая сейчас мы видим

[@bertielis]

Maybe I am a lucky man after all. A great script and Alan Price composes great lyrics.

[@cleric1104]

This movie and "The Ruling Class" by Peter Barnes and starring Peter O'Toole are my all time favorite flicks. I'm thinking that may be why I have a hard time getting folks to go to the movies with me.

[@cheari1]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@AntonHu]

Great musician, great film

[@Neil219]

Me too. I remember seeing this film at the cinema. It has stayed with me ever since.ND

[@GreenyMcFleetwood]

This is a truely great movie, and the music is what really makes it for me

[@GrindlayPro1]

Sorry if someone mentioned this already, but apparently Alan hadn't even see the screenplay and had no idea what the movie was about when he wrote the ten songs (really only nine as the 10th is just a re-working of the first). Lindsay Anderson just asked him to write some songs and in the weirdest twist of fate ever, they just fitted with the movie brilliantly,

[@mariabarnard4484]

Thanks for that information :)

[@martinjcooke72]

He was well into synchronicity

[@lawrencetuck9868]

a great film but what a fantastic song

[@chrisbacos]

It is a great film. A movie like this would never sell in today's market. The 70s was a different era. If you lived in the States like I did the early 70s was in many ways a continuation of the 60s.

[@markxist]

Fantastic epic brillaint movie and I can say the same about the sountrack. Juast sheer genius pairing. i treasure my vhs and my cd. The epitome of the 70s and still relevant today

[@tamiatami]

That's is a wonderful film. Great.

[@softfocus87]

Thank you Peter he often plays in Barns.Bless

[@user-hy7tx7cy6e]

Этот фильм чудо

[@aucourant9998]

A wonderful film.

[@superamanda]

greatest film ever made

[@siasti]

I think that Malcolm should have won the Oscar for his performance in Blue Thunder...

[@superamanda]

have not seen it yet!

[@AidanMclaren]

When noone can tempt ya' with heaven or hell, YOU'LL BE A LUCKY MAN!

[@korlnelijanuashvili2746]

замечательние звучание гитар супер

[@user-hy7tx7cy6e]

Я долго такого фильма в кинотеатрах и и по телевизору , но бесполезно. Такой фильм не будет больше ни когда . ЖАЛЬ.

[@superamanda]

Anything dahling!

[@tsopuaifa]

That's me!

[@hiramewastaken]

An 11-year-old's nightmares -- for weeks. Twisted stuff.

[@siasti]

It sure was a great peformance. I own the DVD and watch it a couple of times a year...(I was joking about Blue Thunder...that was Roy Scheider's film all the way...)

[@gvsa17]

I think malcolm M. should have won the oscar ... but for his performance in A clockwork orange I think it was pretty good and I love that movie

[@GreenyMcFleetwood]

Shit i really want to see this movie

[@LostSoul135]

I agree jwild49!! Best soundtrack ever! Any one have it on cd?

[@koyunbaba73]

When I first heard this amazing tune, I thought the singer was Eric Burdon. Now I find out that it's Alan Price, the keyboard player from the same band as Burdon! Weird, huh?

[@chrisbacos]

True, so glad the 70s are history. Some of the music was good but really good riddance to that decade.

[@bertielis]

I think the soundtrack is now available. Try AMAZON

[@VICTORGIRAFFE]

That's too freaky that bit with the Sheepman. That is in this movie right? That horrible half man half sheep guy under the blanket? Kramer's Pigman was pretty funny. That's maybe what made me look for this movie. I only watched Pigman episode last week.

[@SirDaddaCool]

Did Jeremy Bulloch play the Sheepman? Was he the same guy that over-took Travis in the sports car, early on, and loses control then the police steal all the produce? Was the driver still alive and his body handed over to Professor Miller for Frankensteinian experimentation? Is it the Miller Institute or am I getting O Lucky Man and Britannia Hospital confused. Really cool, freaky shit. I watched these movies on telly when I was about 10 years old. Weird but really cool.

[@aprilglaspieable]

That is some great guitar playing. How was this ever allowed in the Soviet Union?

[@andyserfes4884]

Princess Price

[@BluDevil93]

I luv this song, it rocks! Is it me or does this sound a bit like The Who? lol

[@cookcalchel]

OLM is not a sequel. It was part of a triology Lindsay Anderson directed over the years using the same character. Anderson is best remembered for his "Mick Travis" trilogy of feature films, all of which star Malcolm McDowell as Travis: If...., O Lucky Man! and Britannia Hospital.

[@vladimirshuvalovskij7073]

Я смотрел этот фильм в кинотеатре 'Космос' г. Свердловска за год до создания фильма. (Если верить о дате съёмок, указанной в Википедии) Можно не верить мне, но как быть с датой моего убытия из Свердловска - май 1972 г.? Мистика? Временное смещение?

[@philipmatricardi2155]

forty years ago. delicious film during a cultural wasteland, the worst decade in American cultural history.

[@woland99]

Easily the greatest soundtrack to amazing movie - what takes them so long to release it on DVD?

[@nicolefoster1741]

Malcolm is great.

[@theblock7338]

At last If... is coming to DVD, now how's about this classic? Great clip!

[@frederickbadstuber2842]

EASTBOUND

[@NakedReporta]

cookcalchel is correct. Malcolm McDowell as "Mick Travis" is a recurring element in all three films. There are some sly allusions to the previous movies in OLM! and BH, but it's understood that he's not playing the same guy, even though in each film, the guy is named "Mick Travis." If... and O Lucky Man! are awesome. Britannia Hospital? Not so much. Malcolm/"Mick" is pretty much a peripheral character, or an extended "cameo," as it were.

[@RONJAN2]

have u seen CALIGULA?

[@RONJAN2]

this movie is where kramer and the pig man came from

[@chrisbacos]

A movie like O Lucky Man would never sell in today's market against Oblivion, Batman, etc. The 18-34 target audience has no living memory of this era and yes sadly many of them are brain dead to wisdom and culture.

[@kevanwignall1]

Anyone here from the American version of Mad Dogs?

[@woland99]

It is a crime of the century that Alan Price was not even nominated in 1973. Instead Oscar went to Marvin Hamlisch for "The Way We Were". Anybody remembers that movie? At all? And he got another one for stealing the soundtrack to "Sting" from Scott Joplin. What a joke.

[@harryhausi4626]

Wenn ich mir 3 LP aussuchen MUSS für eine einsame Insel -- 2mal O Lucky Man - und Elvis Thats the way it is

[@LostSoul135]

Honestly, the film annoyed me. But I love Malcolm Mcdowell, and Alan Price. Totally worth watching, even if it's just for them.

[@mariabarnard4484]

Didn't like the film at all but the music is fantastic

[@gohasokolov1959]

как на работу ходил с народом переодически забив на все .....учебу ..девок и пиво....

[@mi1964amigo]

I've never seen Seinfeld, but I'm sure it was a pigman in this film?

И поцелуи,и обьятья...но нет той чернухи-порнухи,что сейчас культивируется на экране ,причем кае ультрасовременно

Что ни говори фильм Ой счастливчик самый лучший фильм на земле
