OST One From The Heart by Tom Waits And Crystal Gayle

The music top, the film a Flop - this is how Francis Ford Coppola's musical Film "One from the Heart" and the accompanying soundtrack were recorded by the audience in 1982. In the choice of technical means, the use of color, the Montage and the Set Design, Coppola's love film was far ahead of its time, but the result seemed too contrived and the Story too banal, so that the film fell through with the audience.
Only the musical background score by Tom Waits was convincing: while the Film flopped at the box office and turned out to be a disastrous commercial failure for the director, the film score was nominated for an Oscar. But also in other respects the collaboration with Coppola for Waits turned out to be a stroke of luck: during his work on the Soundtrack for "One from the Heart" he got to know and love Kathleen Brennan, who worked as Script assistant for the director. The two married in August 1980 and have been partners in artistic matters ever since.
The film music for "One from the Heart" itself was the first commissioned work for Waits. Entrusted by Coppola directly with this task, he wrote the music and recorded the Soundtrack together with country singer Crystal Gale, supported by some West Coast jazz veterans. Arranged for a small jazz combo, a big band or Symphonic for an entire orchestra, Waits‘ exceptionally pleasing compositions range between Jazz, Lounge Pop and Downbeat Blues. But the sad and beautiful Songs have the emotional depth to explore the emotional world of a breaking love and especially the four duets of Waits and Gayle unfold their own magic.
Remastered from the original tapes by Krieg Wunderlich and Rob LoVerde for Mobile Fidelity and pressed by RTI, "One from the Heart" is released as a limited edition 180g Vinyl LP with a serial number.

"Music on Vinyl had already re - released the Soundtrack on LP-whether the lighter version of Music on Vinyl or the darker version of MFSL is now the better reproduction of the cover remains a matter of taste. In the Sound, the well-pressed MFSL has the edge: it sounds a bit more open and dynamic." - Lothar Brandt, MINT, issue 7/2016
