#nowspinning heute mal Filmmusik aus dem Film 'The Hot Spot' von 1990. Sehr ruhige Musik von unter Anderen John Lee Hooker und Miles Davis. Ganz hervorragende Pressung von Analogue Productions, abgemischt mit den original Masterbändern. #vinyl #musicsky #jazzsky

1 star for Dennis Hopper's direction.
