Soundtrack – Hair (2LP) (1979) – €20,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

 

Hair: Original Soundtrack Recording is the soundtrack album from the 1979 musical film Hair. It was released on the RCA Victor label.

The film omits the musical‘s songs “The Bed”, “Dead End”, “Oh Great God of Power”, “I Believe in Love”, “Going Down”, “Air”, “My Conviction”, “Abie Baby”, “Frank Mills”, and “What a Piece of Work is Man”. The latter five songs were originally recorded for the film but were eventually cut.

A new song written by MacDermot for the film is “Somebody to Love”. A few verses from “Manchester, England” and a small portion of “Walking in Space” have been removed. While the songs “Don’t Put It Down” and “Somebody to Love” are not sung by characters in the movie, they are both used as background or instrumental music for scenes at the army base. There are several other differences from songs in the movie and as they appear on the soundtrack, mainly in omitted verses and different orchestrations.

Soundtrack – Thank God It´s Friday (3LP) (1978) – €20,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

 

The film contains many popular disco songs, with many key performers featured, including Donna Summer, Pattie Brooks, Love & Kisses, The Commodores. A triple album containing many of the tracks heard in the film was released six weeks in advance of the theatrical release to build up interest in the film.[19]

Several songs heard in the film were not included on the soundtrack album, including Alec R. Costandinos‘ “Romeo and Juliet“, Giorgio Moroder‘s “From Here to Eternity“, The Originals‘ “Down to Love Town”, D.C. LaRue‘s “You Can Always Tell a Lady (By the Company She Keeps)”, The Commodores‘ “Brick House“, The 5th Dimension‘s “You Are The Reason (I Feel Like Dancing)”, Meco‘s “Meco’s Theme” and the Village People tracks, “In Hollywood (Everybody Is A Star)” and “I Am What I Am“.

The biggest hit single on the album was Donna Summer’s “Last Dance“, which won an Academy Award as well as a Golden Globe for Best Original Song and also made it to #3 on the US singles chart. The song was written by Paul Jabara, who the following year composed Summer’s duet with Barbra Streisand, “No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)“. Jabara performed two of the songs on the Thank God It’s Friday soundtrack and appeared in the film as well.

The soundtrack album was issued as a three-record set in 1978, of which the third disc was a single side 12 inch single of the 15:45 minutes Donna Summer, “Je t’aime… moi non plus” track. Upon its 1978 release, a promo set of separate 12″ singles of every track was released to select DJs only. An edited CD came out in 1995 on the budget label Rebound Records. A digitally remastered version of the full soundtrack on a 2 disc set was released on PolyGram Records on March 25, 1997. The company that holds the rights to the album is as of 1998 the Universal Music Group. The album is described by many as the world’s only five-sided soundtrack album.

Cameo‘s “Find My Way” was issued as a 7″ single in 1975. Giorgio Moroder and Donna Summer’s cover version of Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin‘s 1969 hit single “Je t’aime… moi non plus” was recorded a few years earlier, but had its debut on the soundtrack and was issued as an edited 7″ single in a few countries in 1978. “Too Hot ta Trot” was from The Commodores‘ 1977 album Commodores Live! – on certain editions of the Thank God It’s Friday album replaced by a studio recording. The song topped Billboard’s R & B chart the week of February 18, 1978. Other titles on the soundtrack, including “Last Dance“, were recorded for the film.

Diana Ross‘ “Lovin’ Livin’ and Givin’” was remixed after the release of the soundtrack and used as the opening track on her 1978 album Ross. It was released as a single in certain territories and has since been remixed and re-edited a number of times for inclusion on various hits packages issued by Motown/Universal Music.

The final part of Donna Summer‘s “Last Dance” is later re-included as a separate track titled “Reprise” toward the end of the soundtrack album. An edited version of the whole track was the version issued on the 7″ single in most countries, and this track can be found on many of Summer’s compilations, including 1994’s Endless Summer and 2003’s The Journey: The Very Best of Donna Summer. The 12″ single used the full-length 8:11 version. A live recording of the track was included on the album Live and More, issued in late 1978 and the following year the studio version was remixed by Giorgio Moroder for what was to be Summer’s final Casablanca Records album On The Radio: Greatest Hits Volumes 1 & 2. The 1979 mix can be found on Summer’s 1993 and 2005 compilations The Donna Summer Anthology and Gold respectively.

An extended remix of Summer’s “With Your Love” was issued as a promo 12″ single in 1978; a slightly shorter version of this can be found on the cd Mercury Records/PolyGram‘s 1987 release The Dance Collection: A Compilation of Twelve Inch Singles. The 8 track cartridge and cassette both feature the full length version.

Soundtrack – Goldfinger (music by John Barry) (1964) (LP) – €10,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords.com

 

Goldfinger is the soundtrack of the 1964 film of the same name, the third film in the James Bond film series, directed by Guy Hamilton. The album was composed by John Barry and distributed by United Artists Records.

John Barry had composed the previous James Bond soundtracks for From Russia with Love. Due to Barry’s increased “compositional depth” as seen through the soundtracks he produced since From Russia with Love, movie producers Albert Broccoli and Harry Saltzman allowed him to write the theme song for Goldfinger in addition to the soundtrack. Barry created the melody of the song before drafting the lyrics with the help of Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse. The theme was first sung by Newley at a demo session on May 14, 1964 in. 

At the behest of Barry, Shirley Bassey was chosen to sing the track. On Bassey, Barry was quoted saying “Nobody could have sung it like her; she had that great dramatic sense.” The theme was recorded on August 20, 1964 after an all-night session in the recording studio. The session was produced by EMI in-house producer George Martin, who also was the Beatles’ producer at the time. Guitarist Vic Flick, who played on the track, recalled at a 2012 Academy of Motion Pictures salute to the music of James Bond that Bassey was having difficulty getting a proper take. Martin spoke to her and then over the recording baffle her brassiere came flying. She nailed it on the next take.

Session musicians on the Bond films were separately relegated to the instrumental score versions of songs, while the main musicians (on Goldfinger: Vic Flick) were given the main film theme song to solely record, to be featured at the beginning of the film. Notably, two of the session musicians were John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page, who together would be the founding members of Led Zeppelin.

Co-producer Harry Saltzman is said to have hated the song as too old fashioned for 1960s youth culture and only agreed to use it when persuaded by Albert Broccoli

The score was composed by Barry, making this his second, credited Bond score. The score makes regular use of instrumental arrangements of the title theme, as well as the Bond theme from Dr. No used in the gun barrel sequence. The score makes heavy use of brass. The distinctive music for Goldfinger’s henchman, Oddjob, makes use of repeated strokes on a metallic anvil. Metallic chimes are also heard in many scenes associated with Oddjob or gold, notably that in which the dead golden girl is discovered. The very effective use of music and various sound effects in the film won it an Academy Award for Best Sound Editing. The album reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 – the first James Bond soundtrack to do so, and spent 70 total weeks on the chart, but for reasons that remain unclear, received no RIAA certification.

Soundtrack – Fame (1980) (LP) – €10,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords.com

 

Fame: The Original Soundtrack from the Motion Picture is the soundtrack from the film of the same name, released in 1980 by RSO Records.

Fame was a film directed by Alan Parker, a serious auteur (some would say overly serious, especially in light of the work that came later) who designed the film for posterity, and the same attitude carried over the music.
Yes, the production techniques often do sound dated — the over-reliance on state-of-the-art synthesizer ironically now sounds helplessly tied to the year of its creation — but the music by Michael Gore is dynamic, varied, and alive, sung with real passion and vigor, and it still retains its essential spark 23 years after it was a pop culture phenomenon.
Sure, it’s glitzy and glossy, sounding like show tunes, but that’s the tradition of this music, and it was done better than most Broadway tunes and movie soundtracks of the ’80s.
Years later, this still has the spark and vitality of kids trying to make their big break, no matter the kind of music they’re singing, and that’s one of the main reasons (along with Gore’s fine compositions) Fame retains its power and entertainment value years later.

The motion picture soundtrack album for Fame, features nine songs, all of which appear in various scenes in the film. In his later review for AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine awarded the album five stars out of five and wrote, “Yes, the production techniques often do sound dated … but the music by Michael Gore is dynamic, varied, and alive, sung with real passion and vigor, and it still retains its essential spark 23 years after it was a pop culture phenomenon.”

In the US, the title song “Fame” was released as a single in May 1980, and reached number 4 on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart while the album reached number 7 on the Billboard 200 chart. A second single, “Out Here on My Own“, was released in August and reached number 19 on the Hot 100 chart, while the third single “Red Light” by Linda Clifford was number 41.

Soundtrack – Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (2LP) (1978) – €20,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

 

Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band is a double album produced by George Martin, featuring covers of songs by the Beatles. It was released in July 1978, as the soundtrack to the film Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, which starred the Bee Gees, Peter Frampton and Steve Martin.

The soundtrack to the 1978 film Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band is a legend in its own right. Where the Beatles‘ album was a groundbreaking moment in pop music, the Robert Stigwood film was an unmitigated disaster, an embarrassment not only to the Beatles, but to everyone involved in the production. Nevertheless, as the years passed and ’70s nostalgia grew, certain kitsch fanatics revealed an affection for the debacle A few performers try to give their best — witness Earth, Wind & Fire‘s “Got to Get You Into My Life,” Aerosmith‘s “Come Together,” and Billy Preston’s “Get Back” — but there’s no erasing the fact that this is an absolutely atrocious record, one that was simply beyond saving. There’s really no excuse for such mind-boggling mismatches as George Burns‘ “Fixing a Hole,” Alice Cooper‘s “Because,” Steve Martin‘s “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer,” or all the endless, awkward numbers from the Bee Gees, Peter Frampton, and Frankie Howard. It’s so bad that it’s not even camp.

Soundtrack – Staying Alive (LP) (1983) – €10,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

 

Staying Alive is a 1983 American dance musical film and the sequel to Saturday Night Fever (1977). Directed by Sylvester Stallone, who also co-produced and co-wrote the film with original Fever producer and writer, Robert Stigwood and Norman Wexler, respectively, the film stars John Travolta, reprising his role as Tony Manero, with Cynthia Rhodes, Finola Hughes, Joyce Hyser, Julie Bovasso, and dancers Viktor Manoel and Kevyn Morrow.

The title comes from the Bee Gees song of the same name, which was used as the theme song to Saturday Night Fever and is also played during the final scene of Staying Alive. The title also reflects Tony’s circumstances at the film’s beginning, in which he is barely surviving as he pursues his dream of making his dancing career.

The soundtrack was released in 1983 and is mainly performed by the Bee Gees. Five new Bee Gees songs (all of which have lead vocals by Barry Gibb) took up the first side, with side two featuring various artists performing songs mostly written by Frank Stallone, brother of the film’s director Sylvester Stallone. The soundtrack reached number 14 in the United Kingdom, number 6 in the United States, number 1 in Switzerland, and number 2 in Italy and Japan. The LP was the final soundtrack, and the final songs, by the Bee Gees released under RSO.

All tracks on Side A are written and performed by the Bee Gees (Barry, Maurice, and Robin Gibb). “Stayin’ Alive” was shortened exclusively for the soundtrack, the full song is actually used in the film.

Out of the songs featured in Staying Alive (excluding instrumental Muzak tracks), only “Waking Up” by Frank Stallone and Cynthia Rhodes, and “The Winning End” by Joe Esposito did not make it to the soundtrack; and “Breakout” by the Bee Gees was not featured in the film. “Waking Up” would later be released as the B-side to the “Far from Over” single, except as a solo version with Rhodes’ vocals removed. A brief excerpt of a third duet with Frank Stallone and Cynthia Rhodes titled “Hope We Never Change” is also featured in the film.

  2. Bee Gees – I Love You Too Much – 4:27

Soundtrack – Beverly Hills Cop (LP) (1984) – €10,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

 

Beverly Hills Cop: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the soundtrack to the 1984 action comedy film Beverly Hills Cop. It was released in December 1984 by MCA Records. The soundtrack was mastered by Greg Fulginiti and features various artists whose tracks were included in the movie plus some other tracks not included in the movie but are similar in electronic style. The instrumental title tune, “Axel F” by Harold Faltermeyer, became a worldwide hit single and has since been covered by numerous artists.

Two million copies of this album were sold within a year of release, which is no surprise, given that it contained such hits as Patti LaBelle‘s “New Attitude,” and Glenn Frey‘s “The Heat Is On,” and Harold Faltermeyer‘s “Axel F.” Another notable aspect of the recording is the small-print admission “Contains additional songs that are not in the film.” In other words, this is more of a compilation than a soundtrack album per se. It didn’t bother anybody, though.

The soundtrack won a Grammy Award for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media in 1986. The Grammy was awarded jointly to Marc Benno, Harold Faltermeyer, Keith Forsey, Micki Free, John Gilutin, David “Hawk” Wolinski, Howard Hewett, Bunny Hull, Howie Rice, Sharon Robinson, Danny Sembello, Sue Sheridan, Richard Theisen and Allee Willis.

Soundtrack – Against All Odds (LP) (1984) – €4,99

posted by ad-vinylrecords

 

Against All Odds: Music from the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the soundtrack for the 1984 film Against All Odds.

While the soundtrack to the 1984 Out of the Past remake Against All Odds is now best remembered for Phil Collins‘ classic theme song for the movie, the album also features several other memorable songs, as well as excerpts from Larry Carlton‘s synthesizer-heavy score. “Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now”) remains not only one of Collins‘ definitive singles, but one of the 1980s’ best love songs, a perfect mix of over-the-top drama and genuine emotion that has aged better than anyone might have expected in 1984. The rest of the album, meanwhile, sounds completely of its time, but that’s a big part of its appeal; songs such as Stevie Nicks‘ brooding “Violet and Blue,” Mike Rutherford‘s “Making a Big Mistake,” and Big Country‘s surprisingly dour “Balcony” make the soundtrack a veritable time capsule of mid-’80s mainstream pop. “Walk Through the Fire” may not be one of Peter Gabriel‘s strongest or most memorable tracks, but it’s still a decent example of his ability to mix the experimental with the accessible. Kid Creole & the Coconuts‘ “My Male Curiosity” sounds just as fey and wolfish, and as playful and stylish, as ever. Carlton‘s synth-and-guitar-driven score tends toward the melodramatic, particularly on tracks like “Search,” “Solitario,” and the unintentionally hilarious “Rock and Roll Jaguar,” but they’re all a part of the fun. While it’s not an especially great soundtrack, Against All Odds is still an entertaining ’80s artifact.

posted by ad-vinylrecords

Annie is a 1982 American musicalcomedy-drama based on the 1977 Broadway musical of the same name by Charles Strouse, Martin Charnin and Thomas Meehan, which in turn is based on the Little Orphan Anniecomic strip created by Harold Gray. Directed by John Huston and written by Carol Sobieski, the cast includes Albert Finney, Carol Burnett, Bernadette Peters, Ann Reinking, Tim Curry, Geoffrey Holder, Edward Herrmann, with Aileen Quinn as the title character. It is the first film adaptation of the musical. Set during the Great Depression in 1933, the film tells the story of Annie, an orphan from New York City who is taken in by America’s richest millionaire, Oliver Warbucks. Principal photography took place for six weeks at Monmouth University in New Jersey.

The soundtrack to John Houston‘s movie adaptation of the Broadway blockbuster Annie is fitfully entertaining, featuring good versions of “Tomorrow,” “It’s the Hard-Knock Life,” and “You’re Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile.” Even though the glossy production sounds good and most of the vocalists sound good, the soundtrack isn’t as consistent or rich as the original cast recording.

All lyrics are written by Martin Charnin; all music is composed by Charles Strouse.

Soundtrack – The Sting (by: Marvin Hamlisch) (1974) – €10,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

The soundtrack to the Paul Newman-Robert Redford blockbuster The Sting popularized Scott Joplin’s classic ragtimes for a new generation, thanks to Marvin Hamlisch’s ingenious arrangements and orchestrations. Joplin’s brilliance takes the forefront, which is the way it should be, but it’s easy to underestimate what Hamlisch achieved with his orchestrations. His incidental music fit the period and Joplin’s ragtimes perfectly, and the arrangements of Joplin’s works are faithful to the originals while opening them up for new audiences. And that’s why the soundtrack feels at once timeless and fresh, which is quite a compliment indeed.

Most of the tunes here were originally written by famed ragtime composer Scott Joplin except “Little Girl,” and Hamlisch’s “The Glove,” “Hooker’s Hooker,” and “Luther.” The well-crafted, lyrical opener, “Solace [Orchestra Version]” easily captures the movie’s 1930s setting and adds just a touch of melancholy and nostalgia. The classic Joplin rag “The Entertainer” appears on the soundtrack in several versions, and they’re all as effortlessly charming, confident, and likable as the movie’s two leads, Paul Newman and Robert Redford. The breezy and fun “The Easy Winners” is another fine piece that’s extremely catchy while the jazzy “Hooker’s Hooker” is as raunchy as its title would suggest. “Luther” is a rather sad and somber lament. “Little Girl” is a wonderful instrumental version of a song written by Francis Henry and Madeline Hyde that features a brilliant violin solo by versatile musician and arranger, Bobby Bruce. Another highlight is the light, humorous and playful “Pineapple Rag.” Hamlisch is a fine musician and pianist. His enthusiastic new arrangements and recordings of Joplin’s timeless rags are immensely enjoyable. This enormously successful soundtrack also helped introduce Joplin’s work to a whole new audience.
