Nostromo - Alien


One of my favourite charity shop finds is this 1979 12" disco re-working of Jerry Goldsmith's theme from Alien. It brings back happy memories of reading the paperback, poring over the colour movie stills in the middle, long before I was old enough to actually be allowed to watch the film itself. The B-side is pretty groovy too, the sort of tune that would play well on the jukebox in any seedy space ranger's bar.
