Various Artists - “41 Original Hits from the Soundtrack of American Graffiti” (1973) - Original MCA Records Edition

“41 Original Hits from the Soundtrack of American Graffiti” is the legendary soundtrack to George Lucas’s cult film, produced by Francis Ford Coppola in 1973. Released by MCA Records, this double LP features forty-one original recordings that perfectly capture the sound and spirit of 1950s and early 1960s America - a golden era of rock’n’roll, doo-wop, and rhythm & blues.

The compilation includes iconic artists such as Bill Haley & His Comets, Buddy Holly, The Platters, Chuck Berry, The Beach Boys, Fats Domino, The Flamingos, Del Shannon, The Big Bopper, The Clovers, The Diamonds, and many others. Each track accompanies scenes from the film, taking listeners on a nostalgic musical journey through drive-ins, AM radios, and late-night street races.
