Thank God It's Friday (1978): Expanded Edition (NEW LINKS)

(Originally posted 29 May 2012, Updated 30 November 2012, Updated 15 October 2016)

As a follow-up to the Saturday Night Fever Expanded Soundtrack (posted here), and also as an homage to the late Donna Summer...

I have assembled here an "Expanded Edition" of the "Thank God It's Friday" Soundtrack from 1978. At almost 3 hours of music, it makes for quite an awesome (if at times tedious) listening experience. Unlike my two previous mp3 posts, the majority of the songs here come from the internet (I'd like to give credit where it's due, but I no longer remember which songs are from where), while only a few come from CDs I own. The bitrate on some songs is as low as 128kbps, although I think the majority are VBR in the 250s range. Nevertheless, I think it's a nice offering, and to the best of my knowledge no other blogger has posted a similar "expanded" version of this classic album.

“Brick House,” “From Here To Eternity,” “Down To Love Town,” and the “Romeo & Juliet Suite” were featured in the film, but not in the original soundtrack release.
“Thank God It’s Friday,” “With Your Love,” “Last Dance,” “Find My Way,” “Too Hot Ta Trot,” “Do You Want The Real Thing,” “Lovin’, Livin’ & Givin’,” and “Love Masterpiece” are included here in alternate versions from the original soundtrack release. “Too Hot Ta Trot” was originally featured as a live recording.

The file is split into two parts:
The two parts can be downloaded and unzipped separately, and are independent of each other. Discs 1 & 3 have been removed by mediafire twice, so the re-uploaded version has track titles removed from the file names. Sorry about that, but hopefully that will make it less likely to be taken down a third time.

Enjoy!

And, if you like, it please leave a comment... It'll brighten up my day. :)

  4. Maybe hide filenames within mp3tag? That way MediaFire can't 'scan' your archives?

  5. Or alternatively create a .torrent and publish the hash? I just downloaded the original OST, but with low quality (~160kbps). Google this hash:

    I watched the movie last night and was surprised at how much music didn't make the soundtrack. Also some of the songs were different versions from the standard track or the 12" single editions. Weird. Anyway i wondered if anyone had done an expanded edition and I came across this site. There is the additional D.C. LaRue song "You can never tell a lady (by the company she keeps)" that could be added if you're OCD like me and must have a total complete expanded edition. By the day is looks like the download of disc 1 & 3 is downloading in 2018.

  20. you apparently don't own the album "Wright Brothers Flying Machine" because it has the unedited 6 minute version of "Leatherman's Theme" on it. It has other tracks on it that I like also. I'm a former disco DJ with a large collection. billshortage@gmail.com
