I saw this film in 1974, and thought it was brilliant, especially the music content. A few years later I saw it again and decided to try and get the LP soundtrack and 25 years later I still have had no success, Does anyone out there have this album stored in their dusty attic, and actually want to part with it?, I wait with anticipation.
shareI saw the movie in the theater in 1974, and also thought it was great. I have seen the LP soundtract on ebay. You might check there. I would like to get a copy of the movie on DVD or VHS but you can't get it in the United States. It's only in PAL format.
shareI just bought this and That'll Be The Day as a double feature DVD off play.com, a bargain at £6.99. It's region 2 though so you can't play it in the US unless you go on the net and work out how to reconfigure your DVD player. It usually only involves pressing a certain combination of buttons.
Anyway, my mom used to love David Essex, and she went to see this when it came out. As it turns out, I can only commend her good taste. Some of the songs on it are brilliant, especially Stray Cat Blues.
I've seen this happen in other peoples lives and now it's happening in mine.

I have the soundtrack LP, but sorry, I'm not willing to part with it. But I could be persuaded to trade with someone who had the film.
Rock on!
I've just been to ebay and seen both region 1 dvds and also several bouble LPs (vinyl) of this film
Are region 1 for the States?
Yes, Region 1 is the United States. This was the same "Stardust," right? Not the children's Halloween DVD?
And I have the double LP soundtrack. I just took it out today, in fact.
I have made a vhs to dvd transfer its not greatbut it is a pretty good transfer for what copoy I had.. its a fun movie my old buddy Dave Edmunds was the music director on the film,. hence the straycats band name, the song choices.... and his spots in the film,..
shareTell your buddy Dave Edmunds he totally rocks!
sharei have both this and "That'll Be the Day" on dvd... love 'em
the soundtrack for "Stardust" is great! A bit further ahead than "That'll Be the Day", featuring bands like Procol Harum, the Bee Gees, etc. Good 60s tunes.
There's even an entire LP with songs The Stray cats performed throughout the movie.... whereas "That'll Be the Day" only had Side 4 of originals from the feature film.
I'll post the tracklisting tomorrow when i get my LP out :P

It is an excellent soundtrack, full of rockabilly, pop, blues and psychedelia. I have it on vinyl.
shareThe soundtrack has never been officially issued on CD in the UK because it was originally distributed by Ronco Teleproducts, who were a merchandising company, rather than a "proper" record label.
shareThe same “Ronco” that sold all those silly products through cheap TV ads? It was parodied on SNL when Dan Ackroyd hawked the “Bassomatic”. I never knew they sold albums!
