This is the soundtrack to the classic 1980s blockbusting movie Ghostbusters.
As a regular downloader from the alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.soundtrack newsgroup in the late noughties, I would frequently smugly mark for download the soundtracks for movies I’d always wanted but had been unable to obtain from crappy HMV or Virgin Megastores. One such prize was todays album.
I remember my brother taking me to see Ghostbusters in the Lime Street Odeon in Liverpool. I remember queuing up (in the cold) for hours before the doors opened so that we would be some of the first in the theatre and be able to get the best seats. I remember being excited to rent the video when it became available, and I still remember the anticipation and thrill of being able to video record it off the telly when it was eventually shown over Christmas for the first time on network television.
I also remember the disappointment at being unable to find the soundtrack on CD, a dissipating disappointment when I located it on Usenet.
Classic 80s soundtrack for a classic 80s film. Not sure why they feel the need to “reboot” it.
