Ive been a soundtrack junkie lately.

well im sure this has been discussed but what is everyones favorite movie soundtrack LP score?

I must say.....on an vintage system you need to hear the original children of the corn soundtrack. That thing is amazing!! No im not kidding....if you can find it...check it out. It is something else ...thats for sure!

Conan the Barbarian. Very hard to find (I got mine from Italy via Amazon). I'll check out Children of the Corn, sounds very cool!

yes dont under estimate the cotc soundtrack. I was blown away by it.

I used to have the conan soundtrack when i was a kid. It fell victim to theft along with all my LPs about 3 months ago. That is what got me back into this hobby. Still waiting for hte insurance co to get back to me on a settlement. What a pain to lose all your vinyl though......all those years collecting and now it is all gone. All those thrill of the hunt finds you had when you were a kid sifting through the stacks everywhere you go.....ugh....

The soundtrack to the movie Sounder, from around 72. It featured mostly Taj Mahal, with a couple tunes by Lightnin' Hopkins

Pink Floyd's soundtrack to the film More

Big fan of the Floyd's soundtrack work. I also enjoy "Obsured by Clouds" and their stuff in Zabriskie Point.

"More" on a UK Harvest LP is one of the last remaining gaps in my Floyd LP collection.


And when I'm feeling more funky than spacey, I've got an original Buddha Records LP of "Super Fly."

I have that on LP, CD, VHS and DVD. I always loved those "comic books" and was thrilled when the movie came out.

I highly reccomend any spaghetti western soundtrack by Ennio Morricone. Two have already been mentioned:

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Duck, You Sucker

Once Upon A Time In the West is a must.

I also enjoy the soundtrack for Emmanuelle. The music is quite good.

Fast Times at Ridgemont High is pretty good.

Some more good ones are, Mo' Better Blues (Lots of r and b classics) The Commitments (Soul Covers) and Streets of Fire.

Speaking of Vangelis, don't forget Blade Runner. One of the most stirring and atmospheric movie scores ever.

2 others:

The Big Chill. Nothing you can't find elsewhere, but still a fine collection of baby boomer rock songs.

9 1/2 Weeks. Joe Cocker doing "You Can Leave Your Hat On" is worth the price of admission.

God, I hated that movie....I remember seeing it in high school with a gal I was seeing at the time. It was about the worst movie I'd ever had to sit thru. :boring: Well, except for "Out of Africa". :D

For months, I had that stupid theme song stuck in my head and the visual of the music video for that song with those guys running on the beach or whatever it was. Hated it ever since! :yes:

For orchestral, don't overlook "Country" on Windham Hill; one of the finest rock-orchestral recordings especially the cut "Homecoming" and "The Auction".

pmsummer: Does one from heart sound like a Tom Waits album? Cause I love Tom Waits, but not so much Crystal....I've seen sealed copies of this and passed. Maybe it's time to reconsider this one.

Also I would vote for the soundtrack to Louis Malle's "Pretty Baby" (I think it's fairly hard to com by on vinyl these days.) and Ry Cooder's work on the "Crossroads" OST. Brilliant music!
