Repo Man: Original Motion Picture Sountrack (MCA, 1984)

One of my favorite cult films, and a great primer into the California punk scene of the early 1980s...

From Wikipedia:

The soundtrack features now-classic punk rock tracks by Black Flag, the Circle Jerks, Suicidal Tendencies, Iggy Pop and others. Producer Mike Nesmith has a small cameo role (a mock TV commercial taken from his video production Elephant Parts).

It was meant to capture an angry spirit and features a collection of punk bands of the time.

Track Listing:

1. "Repo Man" performed by Iggy Pop – 5:11
2. "TV Party" performed by Black Flag – 3:50
3. "Institutionalized" performed by Suicidal Tendencies – 3:49
4. "Coup d'Etat" performed by The Circle Jerks – 1:59
5. "El Clavo y la Cruz" performed by The Plugz – 2:56
6. "Pablo Picasso" performed by Burning Sensations – 4:01
7. "Let's Have a War" performed by Fear – 2:29
8. "When the Shit Hits the Fan" performed by The Circle Jerks – 3:11
9. "Hombre Secreto (Secret Agent Man)" performed by The Plugz [Spanish] – 1:46

Godzilla- KIng of the Monsters (Wonderland Records, 1977)

My first exposure to this little audio treasure as a child was via a neighbor kid, who owned a copy of this vinyl, which I finally bought years later in my teens when his mother was having a yardsale. Interestingly enough, due to the fact that I didn't own a turntable that worked at the time, I never got to listen to it, and it's one of those curious things from my teens that disappeared during my divorce.

A company whose name escapes me at the moment re-released it on audio cassette as a quick cash-in on the 1998 Tri-Star movie...I purchased a copy then...and, I honestly believe I've never listened to that copy, either.

It wasn't until about three years ago, when I ran across yet another vinyl copy of it did I actually finally get the chance to listen to it again after about 20 years, and surprisingly it still holds up...

It's a fun slice of late 1970s children's audio...with what I believe to be Herb Trimpe artwork on the cover swiped from the first issue of the Marvel Comics Godzilla series from around the same period this album was produced....

Track Listing:

01 Godzilla Versus Amphibion
02 Godzilla Versus The Alien Invasion

Godzilla: 50th Anniversary Edition (Music Composed By Akira Ifukube, 2004)

Godzilla is a great love of mine. His cinematic adventures brought me great joy as a child, and continue to do so to this day...

I've equated it with the type of love and admiration that one feels for professional wrestlers, especially those not old enough to understand the concept of "kayfabe" (the suspension of disbelief that exists within the fandom of the sport, i.e., it's not staged...it's real) that drew me to the Toho Titan as a kid.

1. Godzilla Approaches (Sound Effects) (0:49)
2. Godzilla Main Title (1:31)

Elvis in Hollywood: Kid Galahad (RCA Victor EPA 4371, 1962)

Elvis Presley's films may have been big money productions marketed as "A" pictures, but at their heart, the plots, at best, are B-Movie fare. I mean, for chrissakes, Sam Katzman produced a few of 'em...one of the minds behind a ton of output from poverty row studios like Monogram and PRC in the 1940s.

So, for our first installment of Elvis in Hollywood, the soundtrack EP for 1962's Kid Galahad, one of my favorite of the King's cinematic adventures...



Track Listing:
01- King of the Whole Wide World
02- This Is Living
03- Riding The Rainbow
04- Home Is Where The Heart Is
05- I Got Lucky
06- A Whistling Tune
