What you're talking about is Herbie's 'Blow Up!' soundtrack.. (Remember
the film classic?)
I've heard that the original release of this album is really really
high-priced, but it has been re-issued at some point. The copy I
listened to yesterday while visiting a friend was released in some kind
of CBS Classic Soundtracks series, and included a way cool film poster.
I hope you find it (rocking choons there!)..
