Vinyl Artifact: Patton by Jerry Goldsmith

The record opens and closes with speeches by actor George C Scott. The opening is an amalgam of speeches that General Patton gave to troops awaiting deployment to North Africa and Europe during World War II. He told General Omar Bradley (the historical consultant for the film) that he sprinkled course swearing through his speeches to the troops "so they'd remember it".
The record closes with a quote from Patton's diary, which he had planned to turn into a book on his wartime experiences, but never got to write as he died in an auto accident of mysterious circumstances in liberated Germany.
