Opening song

Moroder was eating a lot of fried chicken by the time 1980 rolled around. Nobody noticed Harold Faltermeyer as the synth programmer/performer? I found the record at the thrift and gave it a listen. I like the track, "The apartment" But it sounds more like "Richard Gere in Outer Space!"

There is also the track "Palm Springs drive" (aired when RG drives through the orange trees planted countryside toward Palm Springs). A lively instrumental track on the same theme as 'Call me', like is "Night drive". However, for the latter the film music track seems slightly different from the available record.

I had successively the musicassette O.S. from Polydor (was going along with the 1988 bought VHS, ha ha...) and the CD (intended to go with the DVD).

I noticed when using the DVD on 'original version' mode (I am french and got the DVD accordingly) that the music selection is different in the two versions:

- in the french dubbed movie, Cheryl Barnes's 'Love and passion' is heard when RG browses through his pantry to elaborate his dress of the evening.
And this is the track used & credited on both audio records I got.
- Smokey Robinson's famous track reprise is used for the original version in american. It is not featured nor credited on the O.S. records. Quite strange, maybe a copyright concern.

Other changes between versions:
Like otherwise stated, the introduction talk between RG and LH at the Polo Lounge is different too. In the french version, the talk is held in italian, like the welcome greeting when LH shows at RG's apartment door ('buona sera').

UPDATE 2014:
purchased quite recemtly the BD version (for much cheaper than the DVD and the VHS in their respective times!). I recommend it: image is crisp and fully reveals the pastel tones chosen for the movie ambiance. Sound is much better (5.1 HD), e.g. when RG meets Sunday at the coffee you can distinctly hear the rumble and crokery tingling of other customers sitting behind & around you...
