As Norman Mailer explained in the documentary Inside Deep Throat (Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato, 2005), the appeal of pornography during this era was that “it lived in some mid-world between crime and art.” The riskiness of pornography during this era was largely confined to its previous (and in some states and cities, continued) illegality. While the popularity of cinematic porn was very much a zeitgeist moment that coincided with the free-sex countercultural movement, sex on screen was still a novelty to be embraced at a safe distance. The Repertoire for the following two years is already in preparation.Unsurprisingly, the most popular pornos of the day were comedies – films like Gerard Damiano’s Deep Throat (1972) and The Devil in Miss Jones (1973), where titillation could be offset by laughs.

The centre of the score is derived from Tchaikovsky’s Album for the Young. Carl Davis accepted the challenge and a smash hit was born!
The one stipulation and challenge was for a score to be based on the music of Tchaikovsky. In 1995, English National Ballet commissioned a score for a full length ballet, based on Lewis Carroll’s immortal masterpiece, Alice in Wonderland.
