I love Capricorn One! On further inspection, I have _way_ too many soundtrack albums that were “listen once, shelve for good,” including **The Deep** – Side 1 is 20 minutes of music (a “Ballet”) and Side 2 is several disco/calypso tracks (with Donna Summer). But the best thing about the album: it’s see-through blue vinyl; beautiful to look at, boring to listen to. ---

Reminds me of my Coma soundtrack LP which features: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/Rd_NjYziMko/hqdefault.jpg "COMA 1978 Soundtrack HQ - Tracks 1, 2 Disco Strut & Love Theme Disco Version") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rd_NjYziMko) ---

HA! I was about to add an edit to say “Upon reflection this is kinda cool. At 2:50 we get a definite ‘70’s Battle of the Network Stars vibe. Gabe Kapler! Loni Anderson! Theeee Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders!’” ---

And then we have “Foul Play,” featuring a minor Barry Manilow hit that Goldie Hawn is singing along with as the story begins. For some reason, my kid sister thought that was cool. (Kojak! Bang, bang!) ---

The Dune (2022) soundtrack is pretty amazing. ---

I think thats actually my fave Manilow song.
