9½ Weeks – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Vinyl, LP, Album)

Limited 180gm audiophile vinyl LP pressing in PVC protective sleeve. Every Valentine's Day video stores and online rental outlets are swamped with requests for the film this soundtrack represents. It stars young Kim Basinger as a New York City art gallery employee who has a brief yet intense affair with a mysterious Wall Street broker, played by Mickey Rourke. Considered too explicit by it's American distributor and was cut for U. S. release, even then the film was a box office bomb in the U. S. However it became a huge success internationally in it's unedited version, particularly in Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom. It has acquired a large fan base on video and DVD and developed a cult following. The main single released from the 9½ Weeks: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack was 'I Do What I Do', performed by Duran Duran bass guitarist John Taylor. It gave stage for his first solo singing performance during a hiatus in Duran Duran's career. The song reached #23 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #42 on the U. K. Singles Chart. The soundtrack also included tracks from Luba, Bryan Ferry, Dalbello, Corey Hart, Joe Cocker, Devo, Eurythmics and Stewart Copeland.
