Tales From the Crypt (An Occasional Series): Special "You Know, Some Days I Kinda Miss Seeing XXX Movies in Theaters On the Big Screen" Edition

The short version: I rediscovered this interesting (I think) essay the other day, after a friend remarked on having stumbled across a virgin vinyl copy of the soundtrack album in question. Hadn't thought about either the film or the review in years. (If you have trouble reading, just click on the image to embiggen it.)

And in case you're wondering, the critique originally ran in the December 1980 issue of the Magazine Formerly Known as Stereo Review, and IMHO it holds up pretty well. My memory is that the movie itself really sucked, but I think I nonetheless made a not implausible case for the soundtrack album being at least meh. 😎

I should add that the vinyl edition is long out of print, although if you're among the curious and the kooky, Amazon has some reasonably priced copies available over HERE. To my surprise, the album seems never to have been reissued on CD, which hardly seems a cultural tragedy, however. 😎😎
