Ok, so half a year ago I did the dirty job of recording all the 1978-era ingame music with Audacity. I set the SFX on 0, plugged the audio cables to the pc and let Audacity do it's work. The result was approx 2,5 hours of (in my opinion) great mood-setting stuff.
It took aome time recognising all the tracks, some of them are instrumentals which excludes lyric-search, and some of them (in italics) was made esxlusively by the game music composer Nimrod Productions. Listen to some song exerpts on iTunes helped me a lot.
The songs play in loop, so I don't know which song is the first, but the order is correct.
01. One Way Or Another - Blondie (Ok, this is cool, for the song appears on their 1978 album Parallel Lines)
02. Subway Joe - Joe Bataan
03. I'm Tired - Savoy Brown
04. Trouble Man - Marvin Gaye
05. Loose And Juicy - The Pazant Brothers
06. Express Yourself - Charles Wright
07. Red Hot Mama - Parliament
08. Gang Bang - Oscar Brown Jr.
09. Pick Up the Pieces - Average White Band
10. Peaches - The Stranglers
11. Cracklin' Bread - Dave Hamilton
12. New York Pity - "Monthieu Stars" [performed by "The Nimrod Express"]
13. Gettin' Uptown - United 8
14. Mango Man - "The Fabulous Bongo Brothers" [performed by The Nimrod Express]
15. Dizzy Dizzy - Can
16. Cross the Track - Maceo and the Macks
17. The Vulture - Labi Siffre
18. Ghost Rider - Suicide
19. Suffragette City - David Bowie
20. Come And Get It - "Prince Of Brooklyn" [a cover name for "King G and The Reflections"]
21. Love the Life You Live - Black Heat
22. Bump And Boogie - The Wrecking Crew
23. Free Your Mind - The Politicians
24. Plastic Boys - performed by "King G and the Reflections"
25. Smack the Bird - performed by The Nimrod Express
26. Bustin' Loose - Chuck Brown and the Soul Searchers
27. Bump Meat - Sir Mack Rice
28. Low Rider - War
29. People Say - The Meters
30. I Got Some - Billy Garner
31. Running Away - Roy Ayers
32. Neighborhood Threat - Iggy Pop
33. Want What I Got - "The Sliders" [performed by "King G and The Reflections"]
34. Expansions - Lonnie Liston Smith
35. Monkey Nuts - "Tribal Funk Stars" [performed by "The Nimrod Express"]
36. Smash It Up - The Damned
37. I'll Bet You - Funkadelic
38. Street Lady - Donald Byrd (and the Mizell Brothers)
39.Shifting Gears - Johnny 'Hammond' Smith
40. Outa-Space - Billy Preston
41. Papa Was A Rollin' Stone - The Temptations
42. Sleep Talk - King Errisson
Now it would be interesting to compare this list to a PC- or Wii-version list
