Mike Batt – Keep The Aspidistra Flying (aka A Merry War) (1998, FLAC)

Further to the Dreamstone upload, here’s another very rare and really great Mike Batt soundtrack, from the Richard E Grant/Helena Bonham Carter film Keep The Aspidistra Flying (aka A Merry War). It seems to be the actual complete score plus an 18-minute concert suite recorded for the album. This sometimes goes for a fortune on CD, so here’s a FLAC. I have other rare Batt score albums if people are interested, including the Watership Down TV series, Caravans, and Wombling Free. Honk if you want.
