Christmas came early this year. This thrift store find is in reasonable condition. Harry Belafonte Live at Carnegie Hall/. I entered the room in pursuit of the Soundtrack from Flashdance. When I picked it behind it was this Harry Belafonte recording,

Belafonte records have to be some of the most mistreated records on the planet, that one in particular! Hard to find clean copies in any thrift store. That and Boz Skaggs Silk Degrees. Waiting for a play report.
 
I do not have a working turntable. I also need to plan a cleaning regimen. Getting it played will mot be a problem.
 
Great album. Looks like it is a mono copy. The stereo version is on the TAS Superdisc list and Classics did reissues in 33 and 45. Coincidentally I was just listening to the album this evening. I have a tape version (15ips 2 track) that I recently traded for - a dub of a master tape copy. The vinyl has great sonics.

For whatever reason this thread popped up on my list and I reread it and just wanted to say that publicly out loud and in print you said you were looking for the soundtrack to Flashdance.....:eek::po_O

Missed it the first time around.
 
I already owned a copy of the Flashdance lp. I hace it around somewhere. I left iit in the store for someone else.
IMO the movie is an iconic piece of pop culture. Three scenes stick out in my mind. The one where she(Jennifer Beale) gets her body slapped with water. The second when she was exercising. The third when she removed her bra under her clothes.
The soundtrack is well recorded and contains some good pop music.
