Various Artists / The Wiz soundtrack (2LP vinyl)
While Sidney Lumet’s 1978 film adaptation of 1974 musical The Wiz was a critical and commercial disaster, the Quincy Jones-helmed soundtrack fared a little better. It saw Jones work with Michael Jackson for the first time (MJ was The Scarecrow in the film) and produced a minor hit in ‘Ease on Down the Road’. Polydor are this week reissuing the album on vinyl.
