Various – The Original Soundtrack Album From The Paramount Motion Picture "American Hot Wax" (2x Vinyl LP, 1978, A&M Records SP-6500)

Why This Record Matters
American Hot Wax accompanies the 1978 film centered on pioneering rock-and-roll disc jockey Alan Freed and combines newly recorded performances with original-era recordings. The set features Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Jackie Wilson, The Drifters, The Moonglows, and other early rock-and-roll and doo-wop artists. Record One presents stereo live material produced by Kenny Vance, while Record Two collects mono recordings.

Collector Note
This 1978 U.S. A&M Records SP-6500 two-LP soundtrack uses separate stereo and mono programs, with Record One identified as stereo live material and Record Two as mono. The supplied matrices progress from SP-16000 through SP-16003 across the four sides.
