‘To date it is the biggest-selling instrumental single in the history of recorded music, being the only one ever to be certified platinum’ -Wiki
In 1977, a disco version of the music from Star Wars made it big. It was played over and over on the radio. Meco Monardo was the recording artist. Album art was by Robert Rodriguez, art direction by Stephen Lumel/Gribbitt!
Hear the single below. The album (vinyl, above) didn’t actually have the single on it – instead, it featured an extended, 15 minute version (one had to also buy the single to get the single). This ‘best of’ compilation has everything. Or the track alone can be snagged here. Meco Monardo interview here.
