''The Wrestling Album'' is a music album released by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in 1985. It was the first album released by the WWF, featuring mostly theme music of wrestlers on the roster at the time. == Production == Most of the songs were produced by Rick Derringer. David Wolff, at the time Cyndi's Lauper's manager and husband, was executive producer. The album was basically Wolff's concept. Jim Steinman composed and produced "Hulk Hogan's Theme", which was used on the ''Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n Wrestling'' cartoon. Cyndi Lauper participated on the album as a backing vocalist on "Real American" and as producer of "Captain" Lou Albano's track under the pseudonym "Mona Flambé." The album was reissued in 1998 on CD by Koch Records, who licensed the master rights from Epic/Sony. A 30th-anniversary version was released in June 2015 on Sony's Legacy imprint. The album's tracks are bridged with commentary from Vince McMahon, "Mean Gene" Okerlund, and Jesse "The Body" Ventura. Three singles were issued from the album: "Land of a Thousand Dances" in a shortened version with overdubbed saxophones, "Grab Them Cakes," and "Don't Go Messin' with a Country Boy." All three singles were issued in picture sleeves and used "Captain Lou's History of Music/Captain Lou" as the B-side. The fold-out cover features majority of the WWF's 1985 roster posing in a recording studio, with McMahon, Okerlund and Ventura in the foreground and ring announcer Howard Finkel in the center. Lauper can be seen on the back cover wearing a black wig, holding a Rickenbacker guitar. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Wrestling Album」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
