1969/THE ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK 422 837 362-1 (-88) US
Soundtrack to a film starring Kiefer Sutherland, Winona Ryder and Robert Downey Jr. among others. I haven't seen it, but apparently it's about a couple of young people dealing with difficulties in US in the shadow of the Vietnam war, like getting drafted or the consequences of resisting, and also with a love story pitched in. For more on that check https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1969_(film)# . But the movie aside this soundtrack can serve as one of the better vinyl compilations of late sixties music ever, counting tracks by Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Zombies, Moody Blues, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Canned Heath, Animals and Blind Faith. Maybe too obvoius picks for some collectors, but to me it's nice to get such a string of classics in one place, regardless of their original label belongings. The only exclusive track is The Pretenders doing a version of Bacharach's "Windows Of The World", but they do it so well it melts in perfectly with the rest. Also the audio on this US press is smashing, allowing you to enjoy all the way. So if you by chance have missed a couple of the classics in here and want them on vinyl this comes highly recommended. Issued late eighties pretty much all over the world on vinyl, CD and/or cassette. All CD versions seems to have The Fifth Dimension "Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In" as bonus track. First US had label as shown here in a stickered thin glossy cover. (ZÖNT*) (SÄM*)
