Alphabet City (1984)

Was turned onto this after reading David Keenan's 'Hypnagogic Pop' article in The Wire (cheers for the info Nick) and found out about this film 'Alphabet City' (1984). The soundtrack is rare as hell and was composed by Nile Rogers of Chic. Madonna apparently featured on a track early in her career called 'Lady Luck' by The Breakfast Club that can only be heard in one scene. The voice over claims that the soundtrack is available on Island Records yet all searches on the 'net have lead nowhere. Shame really as it all sounds kinda cool.

The soundtrack is rare my behind t is non-existant. Ive looked for song playing when Johnny brought diapers home while she painted. No Luck. No Name No artist. Nothing

Shit...that's what I feared. Was just hoping that someone somewhere may have a random copy. Perhaps a promo press that was never released? I heard a rumour that Nile Rogers was trying to get it released.
