If you're of a certain age -- like, old -- you may have cut your adolescent movie teeth on "Harold and Maude," the 1971 cult Hal Ashby comedy about a suicidal young man (the great Bud Cort) who falls in love with a feisty old lady (the even greater Ruth Gordon). The movie's certainly an artifact of its day, but I must have seen it 25 times back when it played the Allston Cinema for two years.
Now comes word that the film's Cat Stevens soundtrack is finally available after all these years -- on vinyl. Sort of. Per this Variety blog posting, filmmaker and "H&M" fan Cameron Crowe issued a 2,500 run of the soundtrack on his Vinyl Films imprint last December. It quickly sold out but you can find it with a simple eBay search. So if you want to sing out sing out -- and be prepared to pay up.
