Anyjazz, that’s a good point. Even these days, finding the soundtrack to a movie that’s been out for awhile is not easy, especially the movies that came out before the video age.

Interesting point there. You are absolutely right: Sound Track albums are a worthy investment.

In addition, they are usually scarce. Well, this may be interesting or not.

While digging though the dusty boxes at garage sales and flea markets for us old record collectors the real treasure is often a sound track album. Why is this?
It is because the sound track albums were made for the impulse market for those who wanted something to remind them of a movie they liked. This is back when you couldn’t just buy the whole movie a few months later, of course. All of which is to say, they didn’t make many of them.

A pop artist might release hundreds of thousands of an album (CD) while a Sound Track might reach only a few thousand. That makes it scarce in relative terms. I suppose it might still be true to some extent.

Robyn, that CD lived in my CD player for weeks on end. And the movie is great! I gotta try and get Boyfriend to watch it without falling asleep.

I’ve always wondered why stores don’t sell double-packs of the DVD of a movie, and the associated soundtrack CD?
Wouldn’t it make sense?
