| Batman
|
(Warner 925977-1 EU-89 VG+ 300:-)
Not the Prince music from the first Batman film - but all those other sounds that were used in the movie, penned and produced at a surprisingly strong level by Danny Elfman - who shows the world that he's got a lot more to offer than just his previous work in the group Oingo Boingo!
This isn't a rock soundtrack by a fading talent from the mainstream - instead, it's one of Elfman's first full forays into scoring - performed by the Sinfonia of London with a richness that has given the music maybe a more enduring quality than the film!

| Gordon's War
|
(Buddah BDS-5137ST US-73 VG+ 350:-)
The Buddah soul stable came out in full force for this soundtrack, including Harvy Fuqua, The New Birth, Barbara Mason, and Horace Ott – as well as the little known group Badder Than Evil!
They play on the great instrumental track "Hot Wheels", which is the chase theme in the film, and a great sample track!

| Hell Up in Harlem
|
(Motown M-802V1 US-74 VG+ 400:-)
An excellent blacksploitation soundtrack - and every bit as funky as any of Willie Hutch's work for other Motown soundtracks at the time!
Larry Mizell and Dennis Coffey help out on the instrumentation - giving the album an extra funky instrumental edge, one that takes it way past Edwin Starr's other work -- and the tracks are a nice mix of vocals and instrumentals.

| Italian Job, The
|
(Paramount SPFL-256 UK-69 EX 800:-)
The great soundtrack from Quincy Jones to the cult UK heist movie The Italian Job starring Michael "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!" Caine, Noel Coward and Benny Hill (Big! Big!).
Quincy Jones has composed a variety of styles to accompany the on-screen action, but the tune we all know and love is the anthemic "Getta Bloomin' Move On!" (The Self Preservation Society) and its accompanying instrumental theme that plays whilst those cute, cool little Mini Coopers race about Turin.

| Orions Belte
|
(Sonet SLP-1495 Nor-85 VG+ 300:-)
Local fishermen/smugglers/tourist guides Tom, Lars and Sverre discover the Soviet Union aren't just mining for coal in the arctic archipelago of Svalbard. This is a secret too big for any of them, and soon they find themselves hunted down by soviet forces and secret agents.
Music by duo Geir Bøhren and Bent Åserud, who has composed soundtracks for quite a few Norwegian movies.

| Shaft's Big Score!
|
(MGM 1SE-36ST US-72 VG+ 275:-)
One of the more unusual albums in the Shaft Legacy – put together by director Gordon Parks!
After directing the first Shaft film, and letting Isaac Hayes have such a big hit with the music, Parks decided to handle the music for this sequel himself – and scored the whole thing with just as much skill as Hayes! The music is conducted by Dick Hazard, and produced by jazzman Tom McIntosh – but all the scoring is done by Parks, and he stays very true to the funky vibe set up by Hayes. OC Smith sings the vocal theme.

| Sheba, Baby
|
Buddah BDS-5634-ST US-75 VG+ 500:-)
A nice one! This obscure blaxploitation soundtrack features a hip Monk Higgins score for a Pam Grier film that's supposedly "Hotter than Coffey and meaner n' Foxy Brown".
The music's strong enough, right up there with the best of its kind. Barbara Mason sung the title track and a few more vocal numbers, all in the mode of her hipper work during the time, but the best cuts are the instrumentals, of course!

| Some like it Hot
|
(United Artists UAL-4030 US-59 EX 300:-)
This classic 1959 comedy about two musicians (Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis) disguised as women on the run from the mob has become one of the world's best loved Hollywood comedies. Marilyn Monroe sings three songs on the swinging soundtrack, including the ever-popular favorite "I Wanna Be Loved By You".
Original US MONO pressing; both sleeve and vinyl are graded EX.

| Story of Star Wars, The
|
(20th Century T-550 US-77 VG+ 375:-)
This is an excellent rendition of the Star Wars story. Narrated by Roscoe Lee Brown, it is a condensed version of the original movie, with the best parts of the dialogue, sound effects, and music all included in a thrilling rendition of the story.
Includes a 16 page story booklet and a fan club mailer.

| Twin Peaks
|
(Warner Bros7599-26316-1 EU-90 VG+ 400:-)
Angelo Badalamenti's timeless score to David Lynch’s television series doesn't need any visuals to achieve the same sense of unsettling beauty.
The songs featuring Julee Cruise's vocals are perfect pop songs.
