Live and Die in LA

Both directed by William Friedkin 17 years apart. Excellent action sequence - some similarities. Live and Die in LA music by Wang Chung.

Live and Die in L.A.

Happy Listening!

I recently rewatched The Commitments. Love the movie and the music.

Years ago I saw the movie Nashville (directed by Robert Altman), and while perusing the soundtrack section in the good LP vendor booth at my local vintage marketplace store yesterday I came upon the soundtrack for the movie. All the musicians are listed on the back cover, and it’s an impressive group of players (Harold Bradley, Lloyd Green, David Briggs, Vassar Clements, Johnny Gimble, Buddy Spicher, many others).

I had to look at the center label on the LP to get the song info, and it appears that Ronee Blakely was very involved in the making of the album (as well as appearing in the movie). I’m familiar with her name, but not her music, so I look forward to listening to the album. I’ve been buying from this vendor for a few years now, and he was obviously in the record business. Every LP has pertinent info written on the card each has taped to it’s plastic outer sleeve, and on this one he wrote "A great, great album!"

The cover has a very mild amount of ring wear, but the LP is in Near Mint condition. I happily paid $7 for it.

In the vein of classics:

Casablanca

First two Godfather movies.
