The Vinyl Countdown # 227
V/A, Great Warner Bros. Spectaculars (1979) Okay, I’m drowning in soundtracks and soundtrack-compilations at the moment. And (mostly) loving it. The same guy that gave me this (and one of the sister volumes – love themes) also sent me a bunch of CDs; so I’m working through those too – finding some scores to films […]Archive
