S7E347 - Valley Girl (Music From The Soundtrack) with Marcia Potts


Listen Later

This week, we're joined by Patron Marcia Potts as we travel back to a simpler time when the shirts were bright, the jackets Members Only and the music was...AWESOME! When director Martha Coolidge made her 1983 sleeper hit 'Valley Girl', she filled the movie with New Wave gems made popular by KROQ's "Rock of the 80s" format. Unfortunately the planned release of a soundtrack album was cancelled due to clearance problems with some of the songs. In 1994, Rhino Records FINALLY righted this wrong and released an official compilation of songs from the film's soundtrack on CD, making Marcia and her younger sister VERY happy! "Okay, fine Fer sure, fer sure..."
