Various Artists - 70s Movie Hits Collected

Although the 1970s opened with Hollywood experiencing a financial and artistic depression, the decade became a creative high point in the US film industry. Movies like Hair, Midnight Express, Tommy, Emanuelle, Rock ‘N’ Roll High School and blaxploitation films such as Foxy Brown, Shaft changed the restrictions on language, adult content, sexuality, and these elements became more widespread. Featured on 70’s Movie Collected are 31 tracks from that era, which include artists and groups such as Giorgio Moroder, Paul McCartney & Wings, James Brown, Bob Dylan, Mike Oldfield, Diana Ross, Isaac Hayes, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson amongst others. This film music compilation album is part of the Collected compilation series. The compilations bring together the biggest and best names of its genre, combined with forgotten hits and less discovered gems, giving the listener an experience of both nostalgia and uncovering new musical grounds at the same time. 70’s Movie Hits Collected is available as a limited edition on pink (LP 1) and yellow (LP 2) coloured vinyl. This 2LP-set includes an insert with photos and credits. Tracklist: Side A: 1. Giorgio Moroder - Chase (From “Midnight Express”) 2.
