EP#32A - Hidden Treasures: The Soundtrack Edition (Pt.1)

The soundtrack has always been a big tool of mine as a DJ to find those non-album bangers that most people would overlook. I flooded my mixtapes with plenty of these songs over the years and decided to make a formal Hidden Treasures mix to celebrate the soundtracks to some classic films that did a great job meshing the music & movie as well as some others that were probably better off releasing the music alone. Only the most problematic music junkies will have or know of most of these tracks...people (like me) who spent 10$-15$ on a soundtrack because it had 1 or 2 songs that weren’t anywhere else. Plenty of soundtrack gems to go around, expect more volumes, this s a 2-part episode to start so enjoy the first volume…part 2 dropping next.
