Is Meco mentioned in the Neil Bogart flick?
I was just spinning my Meco "Star Wars and other Galactic Funk" vinyl, of which side one is really phenomenal, and I noticed that it was distributed by Casablanca. It even has a thank you to Neil Bogart and two others naming them the "Galactic Council". I believe that Meco's condensed disco version of Star Wars music outsold the actual soundtrack album. It was huge. I'm sure it paid a few bills for Casablanca. And it was so well orchestrated. I get goosebumps at the part where the moog comes in. Dude went on to give a bunch of other movies the Meco treatment, but never came close to his Star Wars success
