Available to pre-order now! Soul Jazz Records are releasing 'Les Stances A Sophie', the lost classic film that includes the amazing soundtrack by The Art Ensemble of Chicago (featuring the classic "Theme de Yoyo" with Fontella Bass). Made in France in 1970 and directed by Moshe Mizrahi, we have tracked down its one remaining print in existence, fully restored it and are releasing it on DVD. Part post-french New Wave, the inclusion (and appearance) of The Art Ensemble in the film also gives it a much wider musical reference. The film was only ever released in France and a few art-houses in the US and then the production company promptly went bust. This is the first time it has ever been seen in over thirty years - and pretty much ever for most people. The DVD is available to pre-order now and will be available in shops at the end of September/beginning of October. Check this preview of some stills from the film here. We will also be releasing the Art Ensemble of Chicago's soundtrack "Les Stances a Sophie" at the same time as well as a super-limited one-off pressing on vinyl with a truly heavyweight US-style gatefold edition.
