A bit of a mystery on this one as I was reading from the sleeve, I took out the album and noticed it was not what the sleeve indicated. Close, but not the same.

Side 2: Go Cut Creator Go, The Breakthrough, I Need Love, Ahh Let’s Get Ill, The Do Wop, On This Ill TIp

From the mid-80s, when I was just starting my life-long love with classical music, this movie burst on the scene and I absolutely had to have the soundtrack. I still listen to it from time to time. Great stuff! Too many tracks for me to list here, but here’s a handy link

I remember purchasing this shortly after hearing “Uptown Girl” which blew me away because it was such a departure from what Billy Joel sounded like up to that point. This particular LP has some serious wear because it was on loan to the roller rink where I worked up until the time I left in 87. Loads of good memories in this album.

Side 1: Easy Money, An Innocent Man, The Longest Time, This Night, Tell Her About it

Side 2: Uptown Girl, Careless Talk, Christie Lee, Leave a Tender Moment Alone, Keeping the Faith
