The first known NZ feature film to also have its own soundtrack release was the 1977 33rpm LP of Sleeping Dogs. Other titles that are on 33rpm LP and/or audio cassette, but have not yet (as of April 2009) found their way to CD are: Solo (1978), Goodbye Pork Pie (1980), Battletruck (1981), the songs of Smash Palace (1981), Strata (1984), Bridge to Nowhere (1986) and The Leading Edge (1987).

Details on these rare LPs can be found at the Soundtrack LP page.
