Have the time of your life with one of the most unforgettable soundtracks ever pressed to wax. Dirty Dancing not only lit up the silver screen in 1987, it dominated the charts — holding the No.1 spot for a staggering 18 weeks across ’87 and ’88.
 
Stacked with timeless hits, the album gave us Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes’ Oscar-winning duet ‘(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life,’ Eric Carmen’s aching ‘Hungry Eyes,’ and even a turn from Patrick Swayze himself with ‘She’s Like the Wind.’ Classic cuts from The Ronettes (‘Be My Baby’) and The Five Satins (‘In the Still of the Night’) keep the spirit of the ’60s alive, perfectly mirroring the film’s summer of love.
 
Brilliantly remastered for this vinyl edition, the Dirty Dancing soundtrack is pure nostalgia and pure joy — the kind of record that still makes you want to hit the dancefloor (or carry someone across it).
