Album Notes
  • Take the soundtrack for Ghostbusters II. It contains an Elton John song that was composed for the film but never used. Most of the album's songs are played only as the closing credits roll, and only Bobby Brown's "On Our Own" has a key role in the movie. These days songs on a soundtrack are often "source" music: stuff that plays in the background as characters talk in a diner, or on the radio of a passing car. Songs can even be included if they were considered for source music but didn't make the final cut. Music supervisor Peter Afterman and director Ivan Reitman decided that most of the soundtrack music didn't fit, but by then the record company had made promises to the artists. "Looking back, we probably shouldn't have had a soundtrack," says Afterman, "but the producer and record company wanted the added promotion of what they thought would be the summer's megahits." -- excerpt from "How to Sell a Soundtrack; First, Ignore the Movie" by Marcus Mabry with Rhonda Adams, Newsweek, August 28, 1989.
