Description
Few film soundtracks captured the sound of the mid-1980s as precisely as the Beverly Hills Cop motion picture soundtrack. Released in 1984 alongside Eddie Murphy’s career-defining blockbuster, this collection brought together some of the era’s sharpest pop and R&B talent. Harold Faltermeyer’s ‘Axel F’ became one of the most recognisable synth instrumentals ever committed to film, while The Pointer Sisters delivered the irresistible ‘Neutron Dance’ and Glenn Frey contributed ‘The Heat Is On’, both of which became major chart hits in their own right. Patti LaBelle opens proceedings with the empowering ‘New Attitude’, rounding out a CD that functions as both a compelling companion to the film and a snapshot of pop music at its commercial and creative peak…
