Neither an LP album, nor an extended play single was planned for these three soundtracks, altought one track on single was released from each movie. The title track of "Stay Away", would appear as the b-side to "Memories" (RCA 47-9731). From "The Trouble With Girls", the song "Clean Up Your Own Back Yard" appeared on the a-side to "The Fair's Moving On" (RCA 47-9747). The unedited version of "Rubberneckin'", would appear as the b-side to "Don't Cry Daddy" (RCA 47-9768). Actually, the edited version was used for the movie. "The Last Movies" is not an original album, because those last movies were never released as an LP on their own. It was similar when first compiled and released in 1995 on the Double Features collection. It was called "Double Features", but actually had four movie soundtracks on it. |
