Description

Soundtrack is the second and final studio album by the British psychedelic folk group Principal Edwards Magic Theatre. Released in 1971 on Dandelion Records, the label founded by legendary BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel, the album blends psychedelic folk, progressive rock and theatrical songwriting into a unique and highly atmospheric recording.

Less common than many contemporary folk releases, Soundtrack has become a sought-after title amongst collectors of the Dandelion label and fans of British underground music from the early 1970s.
