Olivia Newton-John & ELO – Xanadu: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1980, Pinckneyville Pressing)

A well-kept used copy of the Xanadu original motion picture soundtrack on the 1980 MCA Records Pinckneyville pressing — the vinyl plays cleanly through some noticeable scratches on side 2, and the sleeve presents at a strong VG+. A charming piece of early '80s pop culture on wax.

The Xanadu soundtrack brought together two of the era's biggest acts — Olivia Newton-John at the peak of her post-Grease popularity and Electric Light Orchestra in full Jeff Lynne orchestral pop mode — for a record that somehow worked better than it had any right to. "Magic," "Xanadu," "I'm Alive" — pure early '80s escapism, polished to a gleam and delivered with total commitment. The Pinckneyville pressing is a solid domestic original for fans of the film, the era, or either artist.
