I generally don’t buy a lot of vinyl on eBay, but this album I’ve been waiting for for a long time most in either good or poor condition on eBay, however this item was described as still sealed, and assumed new. The seller did not disappoint the item arrived in excellent condition having been extremely well packed many thanks. I am now enjoying Christmas music a little early.

A MAD Masterpiece!!!!
Filmmaker Ken Russell pulls no punches in this blistering film based on actual events in European Loudun in the 1600s. Oliver Reed is almost a force of nature in his performance as Father Urbain Grandier, a flawed man of the cloth with a worldly lust for power and the pleasures of the flesh, and finally able to see the error of his ways and truly repent. The performance is electric, almost jumping off the screen. You see the true endeavors of the man from arrogant womanizer to the penitent victim of a conspiracy between the church and state and finally to martyr. Grandier's popularity and the power that the now-deceased Governor of Loudun bestowed on him make him a target of those conspiring to tear down Loudun's fortifications and to rid themselves of this willful thorn in their sides. ... Filmmaker Ken Russell pulls no punches in this blistering film based on actual events in European Loudun in the 1600s. Oliver Reed is almost a force of nature in his performance as Father Urbain Grandier, a flawed man of the cloth with a worldly lust for power and the pleasures of the flesh, and finally able to see the error of his ways and truly repent. The performance is electric, almost jumping off the screen. You see the true endeavors of the man from arrogant womanizer to the penitent victim of a conspiracy between the church and state and finally to martyr. Grandier's popularity and the power that the now-deceased Governor of Loudun bestowed on him make him a target of those conspiring to tear down Loudun's fortifications and to rid themselves of this willful thorn in their sides. When Sister Jeanne (Vanessa Redgrave), the Mother Superior of the Ursuline Order, is secretly attracted to Grandier but later accuses him of bewitching her and her fellow nuns, a wrongfully false claim. Grandier's enemies have the excuse they need to destroy him. With the arrival of the exorcist Father Barre (Michael Gothard), chaos erupts in the city as public exorcisms - nothing more than debauch and blasphemous orgies - ensues, much to the delight of the public, who have had their sensibilities dulled by the ravages of the Black Death. Russell does not push the envelope with these scenes, like ripping the envelope to shreds and burning it to ashes. However, it should be recognized his intention here is not to support the behavior of the hysterical nuns and their debauched exorcists but to show just how fully religion can be corrupted. Grandier realizes his imperative shortcomings. Through this ordeal, he finally finds peace with himself and God that elude his accusers. The film has been plagued by censorship over the years. One scene, in particular, is the edited so-called "Rape of Christ" sequence, where the nuns tear down a statue of Christ and defile it. This scene was intercut with Grandier conducting a mass, further illustrating the difference between a flawed man who can acknowledge his mistakes and people who use religion as a means to a selfish end. Grandier's torture has also been edited. Only short bits of his crushed legs are illustrated briefly, but you get the idea. Found guilty and sentenced to be burned alive, the now crippled Grandier is towing through the streets, much to the delight of the villagers who once loved him. His execution is like a circus, with people laughing and cheering as the innocent Grandier's flesh is immolating, all the while imploring the people of Loudun to stand up to those who would enslave them. The Devil is a must-see film. It deserves to have it rereleased in its unedited form. Until then, we have this version, the British X version. See this film. It is a mad masterpiece that deserves praise and recognition.

You have to know the story behind it to understand it.
The film is based on the book "Devils of Loudon" and describes how Granier, a rogue priest, was tried and executed as possessing nuns and worshipping Satan for political reasons. It is the early European version of the Salem Witch trials.

A Feast of Devils
While certainly a product of the Sixties it is an extraordinary visual treat with sets by Derek Jarman and photography by David Watkins. Oliver Reed gives his greatest performance as Pere Grandiet, a man conflicted by his role as a priest, his earthly desires and as the de facto leader of the city of Loudon. Vanessa Redgrave as the Abbess is hampered a bit by an underwritten role but certainly gives it her all, if sometimes a bit too much. Agree with it or not, it is certainly engaging if sometimes way over the top.While certainly a product of the Sixties it is an extraordinary visual treat with sets by Derek Jarman and photography by David Watkins.

Great, zany movie!
Great, zany movie! Don't understand why it was censored. I just don't believe in censoring books or movies. Reminds me of an old movie called, "Mark of the Devil", and very similar to the movie based on witch hunts. Yes, there were controversial scenes, but this is what makes a movie more interesting.
