Country Joe Welcomes You To Quiet Days In Clichy (CD)
To place it in its context, this is a soundtrack album from the first of two films made based on Henry Miller's novella about his adventures in thirties Paris. Penniless and struggling to make his way as a writer, Miller found a room-mate and wrote of their social and erotic life in the book on his return to New York in 1940, though the work remained unpublished until 1956 when it first emerged in France. Its American publication had to wait until 1965, after the obscenity court case over Miller's Tropic Of Cancer. This 1970 Danish film, directed by Jens Jorgen Thorson, thus came quite early in the public knowledge of the book, and very much takes its feel and spirit from Miller's work.
