JOE JACKSON – Mike s Murder
format: CD digipack
UPC: 8013252910326 (CD)
Jackson finished the Night and Day tour in May 1983. He had been asked to contribute a song to Mike s Murder, a film written and directed by James Bridges. He ended up writing both a handful of songs and a few instrumental pieces that were released on a soundtrack album in September. Unfortunately, the film itself was not ready for release then, since it was the subject of a dispute between Bridges and the movie studio that had financed it, the result being reshooting and reediting, such that the film did not open until March 1984, by which time it had a score by John Barry and only a little of Jackson s music remaining, and then it earned only one million dollars during a few weeks of theatrical showings, making it a disastrous flop. The orphaned soundtrack album, however, managed to get into the Top 100 and even spawned a chart single in the Jackson composition “Memphis,” while “Breakdown” earned a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Instrumental Performance. Track listing: 1. Cosmopolitan 2. 1-2-3 Go (This Town s A Fairground) 3. Laundromat Monday 4. Memphis 5. Moonlight 6. Zémio (instrumental) 7. Breakdown (instrumental) 8. Moonlight Theme (instrumental)
