JOHNNY MANDEL
M*A*S*H (Original Soundtrack Recording)
1970 Canada pressing

Simultaneously one of my favorite #movies AND #television shows of all time.

The show was CONSTANTLY on in syndication when I was a kid (4 episodes a day on two different channels EVERY day), and that theme song was so haunting to me even as a ten year old.

It took me until I was about 13 to realize that there was a MOVIE first, which came out a whole 2 years previous to the show.

This soundtrack of course has ā€œSuicide Is Painlessā€ on it, as well as dialogue from the movie, including some hilarious intercom announcements.

Robert Altman was on record many times stating he loathed and despised the television show.

Your loss, dude.

@TheVinylApe Judging by the fact that the final episode was like the most watched thing in US television history, I think Robert Altman had it wrong.

@TheVinylApe My enduring memory of that show is laying in bed, hearing it from the living room as my parents watched it. (It was on at my bedtime when I was a kid. In the UK syndication was not a thing.)

I have the DVD box set sitting here. It came in this cloth covered box to look like a medical kit.

Contains both the movie and the TV show.
