This soundtrack LP features songs that were all included in the 1986 coming-of-age film Stand By Me, which was directed by Rob Reiner. The film is based on Stephen King’s novella The Body, with the title deriving from the song of the same name by Ben E. King. The film is set in the fictional town of Castle Rock, Oregon, in 1959, and stars Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, and Jerry O’Connell, as four boys who go on a hike to find the dead body of a missing boy. The movie’s success sparked a renewed interest in Ben E. King’s song “Stand by Me, with the song re-entering the US Billboard Top 10 chart in 1986. The soundtrack is crammed with great, early rock & roll hits. The movie may have been nostalgic, but the music on this soundtrack still sounds alive, decades after it was originally recorded.
