A soundtrack for the film FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH was released worldwide on two LP’s and a single cassette back in 1982. A special promotional, six-track black and white checkered picture disc was also issued to DJ’s at radio stationsThe soundtrack debuted on CD in the mid 1990’s. The original double LP album, cassette and CD contained 19 songs.
As requested, here’s this 2xCD Special Edition containing all the songs heard in the movie but didn’t make it into the final track list; 27 tracks plus two bonus songs written for the film, but unused.
A classic ’80s movie & soundtrack featuring Sammy Hagar, Billy Squier, Joe Walsh, Cheap Trick and many more.
Sure, this is a bootleg however sound quality is excellent, and considering the original pressings are out of print, this is a great find. A cool trip back to the ’80s.
Highly Recommended
