Here's an obscure late 70s soundtrack, from an equally obscure Joey Travolta gang movie put out by AIP in 1979. The music is surprisingly good, courtesy of jobbing jazzer Harold Wheeler - it's tight and funky. The album also includes backing vocals by a certain Luther Van Dross [sic]. The first side of the LP is basic genre disco music, but the second side is much tighter, with a range of funk genres and tempos. Good stuff - the theme's a dancefloor cracker.

Overall Rating: 4
