Original Motion Picture Soundtrack | Vinyl LP | 1980 | Australian First Pressing | Regency Records ALPS 1065
A fantastic 1980 Australian first pressing of the soundtrack to Flying High, released on the Australian Regency Records label, catalogue ALPS 1065.
This is an interesting original-era Australian soundtrack release from the height of the late-1970s/early-1980s disco, pop and easy-listening crossover period, making it a great addition to collections focused on vintage Australian vinyl and movie soundtracks.
Flying High is a light-hearted Australian comedy centred around the world of commercial aviation, with the film's soundtrack helping create the upbeat, glamorous atmosphere associated with air travel and late-70s/early-80s popular culture.
The release is particularly interesting as an Australian soundtrack pressing, representing the way contemporary film music was marketed and distributed locally during the period.
The soundtrack captures the musical character of its era, with the familiar mixture of pop, disco, romantic themes and orchestral arrangements that defined many film and television releases around the turn of the decade.
For collectors of Australian records, releases such as this are appealing because they document the local record industry and the musical tastes of the period.
Australian soundtrack pressings from this period can be particularly appealing to collectors looking for regional releases and titles that are less commonly encountered outside Australia.
The Regency Records ALPS catalogue is also an interesting part of Australia's local record-label history, making this a worthwhile addition not only for soundtrack collectors but also for enthusiasts of Australian-pressed vinyl.
