I found the soundtrack to Tron on vinyl at a local thrift shop today.
It's in nearly prefect condition. Did I score?
Too bad I don't have a record player so I can listen to it :(

You could give it a try on your grammophone. ;)
Hard to guess what is worth keeping, otherwise people would keep it. I
found what I "thought" would be a GREAT RESCUE, a small stack of still
sealed brand new RCA CED video discs. No interest. I may give them one last
chance on eBay, but I have a long list of stuff on a similar "death row".
Of course I will be posting my list a couple places as well. Stay tuned
MAJOR clearing out between now and the weekend of 7/8 (7/8 is our once a
year garage sale day in Condo Hell).

I don't even remember what the music was like on that movie... but I've
got some stuff I want to convert to digital format one of these days.
I need a good quality A/D converter, better than the typical soundcard.
The "professional" ones are too pricey. An old DAT might be OK, maybe
even if it's got tape transport problems the A/D would still be useable.
I got the Tangerine Dream Phaedra LP, in really good condition, thinking
that was a score, and then realized I already had it on CD. Doh! I
wonder if the LP sounds any better on a good player.

Huh? those should do OK on ebay I would think. What movies are they?
I've got a CED player but I don't think it works. A friend bought it,
took it apart, and it wasn't working anymore when he put it back together,
so he gave it to me. :-( I'm looking for a laserdisk player, since I got
the Star Wars trilogy that way (since it's not out on DVD).

IMHO you need a rig with "original anyway" pricetag of around a minimum of
$5,000 to extract the best the LP has to offer. By rig I mean the
turntable, arm, cartridge, and phono preamp, and spending the money is no
gaurantee of the performance, just what money spent wisely can acchieve. A
really quite good ADC OTOH is maybe $2,000.
Here are the results of some fair testing of soundcards.

I'll run my full deathlist past the whole group, off the top of my head I
remember at least "My Favorite Year".

One of the interesting things (to me) about Tron is
that the composer, Wendy Carlos - see
www.wendycarlos.com - was formerly known as Walter
Carlos prior to gender redesignation procedures. (The
whole story of this is laid out in a late 1970s
interview in Playboy). She/he originally gained fame
for recording "Switched on Bach" in the 1960s - one of
the first recordings of classical music on an
electronic synthesizer - and later composed the score
to Clockwork Orange (still as Walter). By the time of
Tron, Walter had become Wendy.

The front of the record advertises "Music by Wendy Carlos", which is why I
thought this might be a particular score.
