The 1980s produced some of the most memorable film soundtracks in cinema history, spawning chart-topping singles that became as iconic as the films themselves. 80’s Movie Hits Collected gathers together an exceptional selection of those beloved songs across four sides of vinyl, from anthemic rock and synth-pop through to sweeping ballads and dance-floor favourites, presenting them in the premium analogue format they deserve.
The tracklist reads like a greatest-hits tour of the decade’s biggest screens: Queen’s A Kind of Magic (Highlander), Simple Minds’ Don’t You Forget About Me (The Breakfast Club), Kenny Loggins’ Danger Zone (Top Gun), Ray Parker Jr.’s Ghostbusters, Limahl’s Never Ending Story, Harold Faltermeyer’s Axel F (Beverly Hills Cop), Michael Sembello’s Maniac (Flashdance), and many more essential cuts from films including Rocky IV, Footloose, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, The Lost Boys, and A View to a Kill.
Part of Music on Vinyl’s celebrated Collected series of themed compilations, this 2LP set is an attractive addition to any record collection and an ideal introduction to the golden age of the movie soundtrack. Whether you grew up with these songs or are discovering them for the first time, 80’s Movie Hits Collected is a thoroughly enjoyable listen -- a vinyl celebration of an era when cinema and popular music were inseparable.
