I have said all about the movie I can say on this family-friendly site. The Boogie Nights soundtrack album is a super groovy trip through the Seventies into the early Eighties. The movie had so much music that a second soundtrack album was released and between the two albums, 90% of the soundtrack is represented, including two tunes by Dirk and Reed that open and close the first soundtack disc.

Personal Memory Associated with this CD: I hope I am not the only one whose thoughts and memories about some of these songs were forever altered upon hearing them coupled with scenes from the film. Livin' Thing in particular will never ever be heard the same. I definitely know I am not the only one who set out to assemble a more complete soundtrack after buying the first soundtrack album. Though for my tastes, only the pop songs were rounded up. Of course, I got it modified with the TK-421.
Final thought: Am I the only one who feels The Guardians Of The Galaxy Awesome MIx works well with the Boogie Nights soundtrack?
