The Deep soundtrack

The Deep soundtrack

Colored vinyl is all the rage today. Yet even back in the 1970s and 80s, there were the occasional ones as well. Such as this soundtrack from the 1977 film, The Deep.

This was the first ever soundtrack released by Casablanca Records (they would later score another hit with the Thank God It’s Friday OST). The record features only five tracks. It’s mostly classical scores by conductor John Barry but there are a pair of disco tunes as recorded by then-Casablanca star, Donna Summer, and Alston “Becket” Cyrus (aka “Beckett”) who recorded the song “Disco Calypso” for the album.

While most pressings of this soundtrack are of the black color there are a few that are in the blue translucent color.

My father used to have both the black and blue translucent vinyl. That of course, was lost to the fire that gutted our home. So getting this back means a lot to both him and me.
