Yellowjackets: "Market Street" b/w "Ballad of the Whale" (MCA promo 12" single) From Star Trek: IV

It's 12-inch Tuesday! The jazz group Yellowjackets played a small part in the film Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. The song "Market Street" is heard when the crew of the USS Enterprise is first seen on the streets of San Francisco. The b-side, "Ballad of the Whale," was a theme written for the film, but the Yellowjackets version appeared only on the Star Trek IV soundtrack album...and on this promotional single from MCA Records, to which Yellowjackets were signed in 1986 when this single was released. This would likely have been recorded in the time between the Shades and Four Corners albums, as "Market Street" features the same rhythmic figure as "Wildlife" from Four Corners. Both songs were penned by Leonard Rosenman, Russell Ferrante, and Jimmy Haslip. Track List ---------------- Market Street Ballad of the Whale
