This is the second 12″ release for “Ghostbusters” released after the single had reched #1 in the USA. The “Dub Version” is the same mix that appeared as “Instrumental Dub Version” on the previous 12″. Also of note the sleeve is misprinted and contains the “Instrumental” instead of the “Short Version”.

“Ghostbusters” is a 1984 song recorded by Ray Parker, Jr. as the theme to the film of the same name starring Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd. It hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 on August 11 in 1984, and stayed there for three weeks. It also peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart on 16 September 1984, where it stayed for three weeks. The song is performed in the key of B major.

It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Music, Original Song, but lost to Stevie Wonder’s “I Just Called to Say I Love You”.
