Tangerine Dream / Three O’Clock High

Vinyl reissue of the soundtrack to the 1987 film

Tangerine Dream / Three O'Clock High soundtrack vinyl reissue

Tangerine Dream’s soundtrack to the 1987 US teen comedy Three O’Clock High will be reissued on vinyl in January next year.

The film was directed by Phil Joanou, who went on direct U2’s Rattle and Hum and 1992 Hitchcockian thriller Final Analysis. It wasn’t well received and ultimately flopped at the box office, although it’s been reappraised over the years, to a degree. Darker than your average 80s teen-flick, executive producer Steven Spielberg even felt compelled to take his name off the credits.

The Three O’Clock High soundtrack hasn’t been reissued since it was first released in 1987 (click image to enlarge)

Tangerine Dream provide most of the music, although there are a handful of tracks by Sylvester Levay and Jim Walker performs the song ‘Something to Remember Me By’.

Out-of-print for decades, this 35th anniversary vinyl reissue includes an insert of the original film poster (drawn by Drew Struzan, who did Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Blade Runner etc.). It also includes new liner notes and comes with a printed inner sleeve. 

Three O’Clock High will be released on 27 January 2023, via Concord.
