Difference between "soundtrack" and "cast recording"

I just wanted to state this because it seems many people are getting these 2 confused!

The difference is:

A "soundtrack" is from a movie therefore a movie soundtrack.

But a "cast recording" is the cast of whatever show singing and recording it to make a CD so please don't say "I have the Brooklyn soundtrack" say "I have the Brooklyn cast recording"

Also if you have the OBC or OLC then it because "I have the original Brooklyn cast recording"

Just wanted to state that! (thanks romy for the information)

This is actuallyin the FAQ, but thanks for clearing it up for those who haven't seen it.

An easy way to remember this is that in movies, the vocals are pre-recorded on a track and then when filming, the actors lip synch to the pre-recorded soundtrack.

(Yeah, I know that Liza messed up the meaning of this when she performed on Broadway, but for the most part it still applies).

oh this AGAIN.
