Of
all the film soundtracks I have in my record collection, this is probably the
film I’m least familiar with. I think I’ve only seen it once, and it doesn’t
ever seem to be played on TV (well, not on New Zealand television at least).I bought this as it has an Aerosmith song on it - a cover of The Doors’ Love me Two Times, presumably recorded during the Pump sessions.
The rest of the album isn’t bad - a random collection of pop rock mainly from the late sixties and early seventies. Aside from Do It Again by Steely Dan - which always sounds good - the real treasure on the album is Rescue Me - Fontella Bass’ 1965 single on Chess Records.
On a negative point, this album goes a long way to showcase how poorly made vinyl records were in the early 90s. On both sides, the run-in groove has been cut into the record incorrectly so that when you put the needle down it doesn’t actually run onto the first song - it’s just goes around in a circle without the songs starting. Idiots.
Hit: California Dreamin’ - The Mamas & The Papas
Hidden Gem: Rescue Me - Fontella Bass
