Bo Harwood wrote and recorded the music running under Cassavetes's films, often alongside Cassavetes himself, and until now most of it existed only on tapes he kept. The new LP draws eleven recordings from those masters, including music from this film, A Woman Under the Influence, Opening Night and Love Streams. Anthology marks it by putting Chinese Bookie back on 35mm.
