Condition of Jacket/Cover: VG++ Condition of Vinyl Record: VG+, with visible wear This is the Soundtrack from Czech filmakers US debut, according to the Liner notes he auditioned 300 young female singers and selected 48 of them to participate in the film's music sequences. So this soundtrack, in places, amounts to American Idol tryouts 40 years earlier, Some of the performers played their own songs and the results are by turns shocking and endearing. "Ode To A Screw" is so X-Rated, outrageous, and at the same time so brilliant it deserves to be covered. It should be mentioned that a young Carly Simon performs a song about getting wasted on Pot and Ike and Tina have a track. Most of the soundtrack is the unadorned performances of the young hopefuls that answered the audition call. Now I need to track down the movie!! From an On-line review by Shaun Huhn: "The film relies heavily on its creative editing techniques, on first viewing it feels cacophonous as you try to establish the plot but it finds its rhythm quickly. When you see it again - everything fits. The editing feels like the brain child of Scorsese's work on WOODSTOCK coupled with every Hal Ashby film. He uses two main narratives and cuts between them, one is an audition for what in reality is TAKING OFF and the other is the main plot-line. So each woman auditioning for a film part is singing (mostly about independence and female empowerment) while the Tyne family struggles to find their daughter and end up finding their own zest for life again. While by todays standards this technique can come across as gimmicky, here it adds a completely different texture to the film" I offer very low combined Shipping and Handling charges, US media rate for up to three 12" records is $2.98 USD, To Canada for up to three 12" records is $7.50 USD, World wide rate for up to three 12" records is $14.00 USD.
