"Comeback" is a German film about a once-famous blues singer whose career has taken a downturn trying to get back on top, so it's rather an Eric Burdon documentary than fiction. This LP is not the soundtrack, but recordings made to be used for the soundtrack – whatever the difference is. Surely these tracks are not comparable to his work with the Animals or War, but if you compare them with some other crap that was produced in the early 80ies, this is still a fine record. Actually I like it better each time I hear it.
Here's a review of the film from imdb.com by J.B. Thackery (Atlanta) for those interested:
Just one more waste of Eric Burdon's fabulous talent.
This is the most schlockey film I have ever seen, considering it features Eric Burdon, who in my opinion is history's greatest singer, (and who is also potentially one of the world's finest natural actors, and a perpetually cool dude.) Now, Eric, I was always your number one fan, my man. You even influenced my entire career. I have always said that you have been largely underused and undercredited for a person of your enormous impact on the world.
But this film lacks momentum, direction, or even a shred of decency. The theme was a great idea, that of the fading rock star making a comeback. All the songs in the film are superb, except for some that I found unusually vulgar. If Eric had stuck with his great voice, deep soul, and vividly creative lyrics, he would not have need to resort to smutty songs to make a point.
The photography is actually quite good, with consistent quality filming, lighting, balance, etc. But there are long scenes that make little sense, as if someone forgot to turn off the camera.
One redeeming feature is Eric's tender expressions of love toward his little daughter in the film. I did not know that side of him, and was glad to see it.
Eric deserves a grander vehicle for showcasing his immeasurable talent. I couldn't even tell at whom this film was directed: it seems to start out in the gutter and wants to die there, with gutter snipes. What about Eric's vast audience of decent movie-going and song-digging people? They were not considered when this tripe was made.
For the first time in my life, I have to turn away from a work by my lifelong hero, Eric Burdon.
