A Degree of Murder
A Degree of Murder German Mord und Totschlag , French Vivre tout prix is a 1967 West German film, starring Anita Pallenberg and directed by Volker Schlndorff. The film is widely recognised because of the soundtrack composed, produced, arranged, and played by Brian Jones founder of the Rolling Stones, Pallenbergs boyfriend at the time. The film was entered into the 1967 Cannes Film Festival.
Marie Anita Pallenberg shoots her exboyfriend with his own gun, after he attempts to beat her. Instead of reporting this to the police she hires two men to help her dump the body in a construction site near an autobahn. While doing this she becomes romantically involved with both men.The soundtrack by Brian Jones has never had an official release, possibly because of legal conflicts. Although Jones played the majority of the instruments on the soundtrack, Yardbirds guitarist Jimmy Page, session pianist Nicky Hopkins, musician Peter Gosling, and session drummer Kenney Jones contributed their respective instruments to the recording sessions. It was recorded between late 1966 and early 1967 at IBC Studios in London and Jones own apartment in Kensington. Jones stated that the boys in the band played on the record but Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman has said that neither he or drummer Charlie Watts participated in the music making and Jones never elaborated exactly which members played on the soundtrack. Jones also stated that many session musicians play on the soundtrack but session logs reveal that most of the instrumentation was done by Jones himself. Rumors also persist that Keith Richards played bass guitar on the soundtrack. ........
