This little-known motion picture was the brainchild of music impresario Don Kirshner\nand Harry Saltzman, best known for co-producing the first nine James Bond films with Albert R. Broccoli.\nAnd Toomorrow wasn’t just the movie’s title. After a lengthy talent search, Kirshner and Saltzman assembled\nthe band Toomorrow, whom the music mogul modestly described as “the best-looking total group that ever\nexisted.” Why the misspelling? As drummer Karl Chambers put it\nin the film itself, “I dig it! We’re too much, we’re too morrow!” At\nleast Kirshner thought so—he had visions of Toomorrow achieving\nthe success of his previous creations the Monkees and the Archies,\nand enlisted the aid of songwriters Mark Barkan and Richie Adams\n(along with composer Hugo Montenegro) for the movie’s bubblegummeets-\nrock tunes. But, weighed down by legal problems surrounding\nSaltzman, and a premise—Toomorrow was going to save a race of\naliens called the Alphoids from an existence-threatening “sterility of\nsound”—that was silly even by late-‘60s B-movie standards, the\nmovie went nowhere. The soundtrack, however, boasting the nascent\nsuperstar Newton-John, has attained serious cult status over the years,\nwith the original record commanding prices that are truly from outer\nspace. Our Real Gone release marks its first LP reissue, pressed in\npurple vinyl and featuring notes by Joe Marchese. Like the cover says,\n“Launch out on a musical cosmic trip with the new ‘Toomorrow’!”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Recordstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49975203070194,"sku":"RLGM12531PMI","price":9.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/1621\/5794\/files\/SharedImage-120463.png?v=1787636068","url":"https:\/\/recordstero.shop\/products\/from-the-harry-saltzman-don-kirshner-film-toomorrow-limited-purple-vinyl-lp","provider":"recordstero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
