Been reflecting lately as my interests in life, including soundtracks are shifting. Where did it all begin? I was rummaging through my grandfather's LP collection when I was 4 or 5 years old. I came across Jarre's Lawrence of Arabia. I was sucked in by the partially blackened face on the cover, revealing the chiseled edges of a nose, lips and chin. "What's THIS!" I thought. I took it in as my own. My mother told me (but unfortunately have no memory of myself) that I used to "act" to the music. Even created my own costume for it.
Runner up: I was an extra in the film Reds around the same time. I'm amused (based on my quarterly social security record) that out of all the money I made on that shoot, I was handed a mere $10. I spent it on an LP copy of Harry Nilsson's Popeye at the old Disc-O-Mat that once lived next to the Criterion Theater on 44th Street and Broadway.
But I wasn't quite HOOKED just yet. The following Christmas changed me forever. Raiders of the Lost Ark. I still remember the power of the trackter beam "Marion's Theme" had on me as the LP spun on my old Fisher Price turntable. A Soundtrack Junkie for life! :-)
How about you?

How about you?
My First soundtrack is Title song of "You Only LIve Twice" by Nancy Sinatra.
When I was 7 years old boy, I went to see "You Only Live Twice" with my father. And I liked this song very much, so my father bought me EP soundtrack record. I have listened to tihis song many times.
Thanks!

I'm not exactly sure whether my first album (then vinyl) was THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK or a collection of themes by Henry Mancini, headlined by his then-popular THORN BIRDS theme. But one of the two it certainly was.
The first film music I ever taped off the telly came much earlier, it was Ron Goodwin's MURDER, AHOY! when I was 10.

I briefly flirted with soundtracks - on vinyl - after STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE and collected about a dozen afterwards but it was finding unsealed FSM soundtracks of the LOGAN'S RUN movie and TV series in a secondhand shop in Manchester (England) that rekindled my interest.
Got a few hundred since then but Jerry's still my favourite.

American Tail, on cassette, that's what started all this sillyness that continues today and what pushed me to do that silly event last year.
