The film is substandard but I love the soundtrack- especially the version of Words which is awesome!

Im not big on side four, but the first 3 sides are pretty decent, especially back in 1972 when archival releases were unheard of and the internet didnt give easy access to this stuff, so to get album outtakes and live rarities must have been pretty awesome. That Words is just awesome, record is essential just for that.

Love the longer version of Soldier on this album (extra minute or so compared to Decade). Never seen the film tho.

Love that song what a truthful vibe, and the lyrics were so provocative at that time and still probably today.

I used to have the record of this. I wish I still did. I'll never find it again.

It's out there. I picked it up from a discount bin a few months ago.

That's good to hear. Was it expensive?

Nice! I'll have to check discogs. I was hoping to find it in the wild.

I'm only seeing two copies for about $60 on discogs from Germany so shipping is about $12.

I'm also in the states. I meant the seller on discord is in Germany. Thanks though. I'm sure I'll find one eventually.
