Empowering.......2007-02-15

A true gem. If you are an eighties child or not, consider your self
quite lucky to be able to discover this album on your own and bathe
in its rare qualities of having the appeal to womens empowerment and
the softer sensitive side of male reverence for femininity.

Surpisingly stacked with winning numbers that are at wide
turns foot-stomping, melodic, hip swaying, hypnotic and even
to use the words just plain awe inspiring is not to be
overly gratituous.

This is how all music from the eighties through to the nineties
should have stayed.

This music is a gift you give to your self and a secret you
let only your best of friends in on.

Flash dance the soundtrack. .......2007-01-30

there are only a few songs that i enjoy on the sound track, but other than that i think the soundtrack is good.

Flashdance is excellent soundtrack.......2007-01-09

The music is everything in a movie, because make a special touch and this soundtrack is special

Absolutely amazing soundtrack @}->---.......2006-05-05

This is definately one of the best - if not the best - soundtracks in the history of movie soundtracks. You cannot help but love it. It's so amazing. Yes it has that 80's feel, but to me it is timeless. I was 10 when this came out and I love it now even to this day. Manic, What A Feeling, Lady Lady Lady and Imagination are brilliant songs. Gloria was also in the movie but not on the cd. Well at least we got one fantastic song from the late great Laura Brannigan on here (Imagination).
I have friends younger than myself who haven't seen the movie yet (they think it's so old) but they love this music. I think it has such a wide appeal that you'd be hard pressed to find someone who doesn't like it. If you don't already own this, go out now and get it. You'll love it.

MMMHHH.......2005-11-09

It's amazing how time pass by

I was 16 when flashdance took the movie industry by storm
I liked so much that movie that I saw it twice back in 1983
I used to like extended versions so I bought Irene Cara what
a feeling and Michael Sembello maniac in vynil and flashdance the movie on cassette, they are
precious gems for me they remind me high quality music
nowadays imposible to find. my original cassette and extended version play like new I wish extended versions were available on
cd.

Few filmmakers managed to capture the awkward coming-of-age catastrophes of '80s teens the way John Hughes did, just as few soundtracks encapsulate the sound of an era better than this one does. It's not the best 1986 had to offer, but it's a cohesive whole, transporting the listener to that other time, imagined or otherwise. There's enough variety to ensure that it doesn't become wallpaper, and very little filler. "Left of Center" by Suzanne Vega, with Joe Jackson on piano, is tremendous and transcends generations. Psychedelic Furs frontman Richard Butler has long been bemused about Hughes not taking Molly Ringwald's character's name from the title song, which inspired the film, but everyone was paying too much attention to what Ducky was wearing to notice anyway. --Scott Wilson

Customer Reviews:

As Good As The Film.......2007-04-19

I love this movie, I love Molly Ringwald, I love that she worked at a record store, I love her car, Annie Potts, Jon Cryer, Andrew McArthy, and all the music on this CD. Opening with OMD's "If You Leave" it only goes up from there. "Left Of Center" by Suzanne Vega is the anthem of anyone who ever left on the side lines of the main stream, New Order's "Shell Shock" - The Smiths brilliant, "Please Let Me Get What I Want", and my favorite "Wouldn't It Be Good" (wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes/ even if it was for just one day), "Bring On The Dancing Horses", the always welcome "Pretty In Pink", I mean really isn't she? This is pretty much my teenage life caught on CD. Now I need to go out and buy that new version of the DVD that came out.

EXCELLENT 80'S SOUNDTRACK.......2007-02-02

This is a must have for any 80's enthusiast for that era! Wow! Who can forget the great music of that era?!! This one is a winner.

A must have for fans of the film or anything 80s.......2006-05-10

John Hughes' "Pretty in Pink" has always been a favorite movie of mine. I fell in love with it immediately. It is easily one of the greatest teen movies ever and is rivaled only by "The Breakfast Club" as the best "Brat Pack" flick of the 80s.

The soundtrack, much like the film, captures the essence, the spirit of the 80s. What you get here are ten new-wave, alternative and pop songs that helped define the era. Standouts include Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark's "If you leave," The Psychedelic Fur's title track, and the Smiths' "Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want," but really the entire soundtrack is great, not a dud among on the CD.

The album is somewhat bittersweet, with the songs being equally morose and celebratory. Much like the film, the songs seem to focus on unrequited love and longing, with a glimmer of hope.

If you are a fan of the film, 80s music and or pop-culture, this CD is well worth adding to your collection.

Much loved music.......2006-04-09

I was in HS when the movie/music came out. Wore out my tape, twice, and melted another on my car dash in the hot sun and had to wrestle a fourth tape copy from my little brother who'd since discovered how awesome the Furs and Bunnymen were. Ahhh, memories. Still enjoy a good reminiscing now and then. I think I've gotta break down and buy it on CD finally! (Four rather than five stars just means I'm a tough grader! It's a great album, nice mix, very 80's retro.)

Lovely.......2005-12-16

I had watched Pretty in Pink a couple of times when I was about four. Years went by, and I found myself in a used CD store, throwing over a couple of bucks for this soundtrack, I went home, stuck it in my CD player, and all of these memories from the movie came rushing back, I cried. It was so odd, I hadn't remembered any of the movie before then, but the minute If you Leave came on, I could picture Andy hugging Ducky....

Now, I wouldn't give up this CD even if you payed me, somehow I feel it's conected to my past.

Finally, a few months ago, I re-watched the movie, and I have to admit, the soundtrack is better. I liked the movie of course, but it was a little too 80's for my taste.

Sounding like a flashback of the first few years of MTV, the soundtrack of The Wedding Singer starts as an intended goof and ends up quite listenable, thanks. While a couple of these songs (Musical Youth's "Pass the Dutchie" in particular) had already fallen off the cultural radar by 1985, when the movie's action takes place, what's most impressive is the staying power most of them hold. If anything, the Psychedelic Furs' "Love My Way" sounds even better than it did then, and of course "How Soon Is Now," and "Blue Monday" are classics that have transcended their era: Just ask Matt Pinfield. Or Adam Sandler. Or Steven Morrissey. --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:

If you are a fan of the film or anything 80s...buy this CD!.......2007-04-20

The soundtrack to the Adam Sandler/Drew Barrymore 80s retro romantic comedy "The Wedding Singer," proved to be a surprise smash hit when it was released in early 1998. So popular was the soundtrack, in fact, a second volume was released later that year.

Set in 1985, anyone vaguely familiar with 80s pop-culture knows that the film is at times off by a couple of years when it goofs on 80s styles, music and fashion. Some of the targets that were featured in this film, (i.e., Flock of Seagulls hair-style, Boy George, etc) were yesterday's news by 1985. That really doesn't matter though, as "The Wedding Singer" is still an awesome movie that's hysterical and a lot of fun.

Like the film, the soundtrack is off by a couple of years as well. Most of the hits on this CD were popular in the early 80s, a few years before the "The Wedding Singer" is set. But that doesn't really matter either, as "The Wedding Singer" soundtracks are two of the best 80s compilations ever assembled.

Focusing mostly on new wave and pop standards, "The Wedding Singer" soundtracks offer a grab-bag of hits, from the decade's most essential artists, one-hit-wonders, and the novelty acts in between.

Volume one starts out with a cover of the Buggles "Video Killed the Radio Star" performed by the 90s alt-pop band The Presidents of the United States of America. While it may seem odd to start off an 80s soundtrack with a 90s artist, covering a song from the 70s, it actually works just fine. It makes the soundtrack appear fresh and spices up the album a little, setting "The Wedding Singer" soundtrack apart from a million other 80s comps. The Culture Club's reggae flavored "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" is one of those songs that I'm embarrassed to admit I like...but I do. Another reggae flavored smash, the Police's "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic," is magic. The Smith's "How Soon is Now?" and the Psychedelic Furs "Love My Way" offer two off-beat, alternative classics. If I was a little embarrassed to admit I liked "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me," I'm a lot more embarrassed to admit that I like the Thomson Twins "Hold Me Now," but I just can't help myself. Elvis Costello's enchanting "Everyday I Write the Book" follows nicely. One artist that managed to blend metal and new wave brilliantly was Billy Idol, and his classic "White Wedding" gives the soundtrack a little shot of adrenalin. David Bowie's "China Girl" is rather dark, yet danceable, and totally irresistible. New Order's club staple "Blue Monday" never gets old, no matter how many times I hear it. "Pass the Dutchie" by Musical Youth has never really done anything for me. I find it to be just flat out annoying. That said, I usually don't skip over it either, as it has some kind of alluring quality. Adam Sandler's original composition "Somebody Kill Me" is a lot of fun and is definitely something someone can relate to if they're broken hearted. "Rapper's Delight," featuring a bizarre intro rap by the elderly Ellen Dow (as seen in the film) is hilarious and never gets old. The actual song, performed by Sugerhill Gang is great, and is a perfect closer to the soundtrack.

I own a bunch of 80s compilation albums and the "Wedding Singer" soundtracks, volumes one and two, I rank as the very best. First, the flow of the albums are great, as all the songs just sort of fit together perfectly. Second, there isn't a bad song among the bunch. Even the "bad" songs, like the Thompson Twins "Hold Me Now," on this volume, are good. Some of these 80s comps you see are filled with top 40 standards that are just bad, as in, like...bad. Third, the inclusion of some novelties--a song by The Presidents of the United States, a Sandler original, dialogue from the film, ("Have you Written Anything Lately") and the Ellen Dow track, make this compilation unique and not just another soundtrack or another 80s hits compilation.

If you are a fan of the movie "The Wedding Singer" or anything 80s, both this soundtrack and the second volume are highly recommended.

THE WEDDING SINGER ROCKS!!!.......2006-08-18

I love The Wedding Singer! It is my favorite movie ever!!! I can watch it over and over again and not get tired of it. Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore rock! Plus, not only is the movie awesome, but the soundtrack is awesome too! You can never get enough of The Wedding Singer! brie in washington (and to make the point straight, I AM almost 14, so haha to being a kid, even if this last statement was immature.)

One of the songs I'm looking for ..........2006-06-15

... isn't on this collection. OR 'Vol. 2' of this soundtrack series. If only The Cure's "Boy's Don't Cry" (in the film, it is playing in the background during the scene when Robby's best friend, Sammy, is visiting him in his basement apartment) was on either the first or second soundtrack disc of this film, there wouldn't be hesitancy to purchase (nor would there be this review, so there's the upside!). Seriously, I'm still gonna get both these discs. However, the only reason I can figure that The Cure is not on these is licensing issues.

A very good purchase.......2006-03-10

I'm very happy with the purchase. The product was delivered very fast, within the time scheduled.

Amazon.com

Is it forgivable that the second volume of songs from Adam Sandler's mid-'80s-revival comedy begins with Kajagoogoo's famously limp "Too Shy"? Not really, but the rest of the disc does a good job of recapitulating worthy memories from the era of torn-sweatshirt necks and mulletheads--not just with new-wave novelties but with Madonna and Hall & Oates staples ("Holiday" and "You Make My Dreams," respectively) as bouncy and glossy as anything the also-present Depeche Mode ("Just Can't Get Enough") and Dead or Alive ("You Spin Me Round [Like a Record]") ever put on the radio or MTV. The Cars' "It's All I Can Do" and the J. Geils Band's "Love Stinks" encapsulate the Sandler character's romantic frustrations, while the star's own "Grow Old with Me" actually points toward a serious career as a singer/songwriter for our boy. Eek. --Rickey Wright

Tunes from the 80s.......2007-01-26

Loved the movie love the tunes. "Grow Old With You," especially tugs at your heart strings.

Solid sountrack if you liked the movie.......2007-01-15

This movie was a favorite in our household and my daughters always enjoyed the karaoke a the end of the DVD, so we searched for the soundtrack. I actually chose this volume over volume 1 for two reasons...it contains the favorite from the movie, "I want to grow old with you" actually sung by Adam Sandler and secondly, because Volume 1 contains the song that Adam Sandler sings about his ex-girlfriend, which contains quite a bit of profanity, so I didn't want to get it for my kids. I would have given it five stars, but we find the introduction by Billy Idol at the start of the last track, "I want to grow old with you," which is dialog from the movie, to be distracting and it gets tiring to have to listen to over and over when you just want to hear the song, which I mentioned was the absolute favorite.

As good as volume 1.......2007-01-11

This album took me back to "the good old Days". If you love 80's music this is a must have! The first volume was great but I was left wondering, "what happened to the rest of the music from the movie?" Volume 2 answered that question. You won't be sorry if you get this CD. Maybe it too will take you back to "the good old days".

Finally found it!.......2006-02-25

Aahh...the uniqueness of 80s music. Been looking for the Flying Lizards "Money" song since then. It's been on several movie sound tracks however it never made it on the 'sound track CD' until now. "Leisure Rules"

if you like the 80's.......2006-02-21

you will love this album. Truth be told I liked this one more than the first cd. The recordings are excellent.

Few could challenge John Hughes in 1980s teen coming-of-age flicks. This brat-pack extravaganza boasts the anthemic "Don't You (Forget About Me)" by Simple Minds, a hit so large it vaulted them into the collective consciousness. The rest of it is more disposable. Elizabeth Daily (aka E.G.) was a kindred spirit of Pia Zadora in that people kept trying to make her famous, although in retrospect it's hard to figure out why. The Karla DeVito track "We Are Not Alone" still wears well, although it may be because it's synonymous with some great imagery from the movie. Producer Keith Forsey went on to work with Billy Idol and Charlie Sexton with mixed results. --Scott Wilson

Excellent soundtrack for an excellent movie!!.......2007-04-10

This soundtrack album to the 1985 movie The Breakfast Club is excellent! I am not the kind of person to only like the main song from the movie, Simple Minds' Don't You (Forget About Me), and think that the remaining nine songs are not worth listening to. There are a few other songs that I like: "Waiting" is great, "Fire in the Twilight" is excellent, too, "Heart Too Hot To Hold" is great, the "Dream Montage" is quite dreamy and melodic, "We Are Not Alone" is a real dance rocker, and the "Love Theme" is also great, too. For those of you folks who think that the Simple Minds song on this album is the only song worth listening to, you're missing out. Stop complaining! Get to know the other songs on the album, you obviously won't regret it.

Memories.......2007-03-16

I Loved the movie and the sound track from the day I saw it!! Everyone has to see part of themselves in at least 1-2 characters in the movie. The songs just stick in your head and play over and over...."Sitting on ice while the clock is watching losing face" what better description of high school detention is there?

Great 80's snapshot - and good music too!.......2006-05-19

Hey, whats all this shouting about the Breakfast Club soundtrack being only worth buying for the Simple Minds track? Some people are so narrow minded...!
I love all the tracks on here. This is a great album for anyone who still loves the music of the 80's, and you don't even have to be a fan of the film to appreciate it. Full of big, urgent sounding songs with lots of crashing syn-drums and percussion...Just the ticket! The Simple Minds track "Don't You Forget About Me" was of course a huge hit, but this group have a substantial following and plenty of their own Cds, so fans of that track can investigate those if they want more of the same.

I'd happily give just as much attention to EG Daily (great voice), Wang Chung (hearing this made me check out the "To Live And Die In LA" soundtrack as well) and Karla DeVito, who also contribute stirling numbers. The specially written instrumental theme tunes are also pretty good. But the stand out track in my opinion is "Heart Too Hot to Hold", which ran alongside the closing credits in the film, a fantastic barn-stormer with typical emotionally over-wrought lyrics. In fact nearly all the tracks have the vocals belted out at top volume, such much so that Karla DeVito and Joyce Kennedy (the singer on "Didn't I Tell You") must have passed out after the recording session was over....they don't make 'em like this any more!

So if you can forget the awful fashions and brat-pack egos of the movie, you can still enjoy this CD.

Director William Friedkin knows a thing or two about innovative, genre-bending film scores. He commissioned edgy modern-jazz player Don Ellis for his classic The French Connection and reworked Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells" into the haunting soundtrack for the blockbuster The Exorcist. But even veteran film buffs were surprised when Friedkin turned the scoring chores for his taut 1985 forgery-ring thriller To Live and Die in LA over to British pop stars Wang Chung. Though they're still best known for their perennial rock-of-the-'80s hits "Dancehall Days," "Everybody Have Fun Tonight," and "Let's Go," Friedkin's early admiration for the band's often underrated musicality paid off with a tense, rhythmic soundscape that crystallized the era and locale of the film. And, though synth-pop has gained ill repute as a cheesy 1980s cliché, this album ably proves that it could rise above its stereotype in dramatic fashion. The Jack Hues-sung title track was also a minor pop hit. --Jerry McCulley

As if the genre didn't have enough stigmas to transcend, countless nostalgic compilations have done disco additional disservice by reducing the canon to a handful of obvious tunes trotted out endlessly. Fortunately, by including lesser-known gems like the Gibson Brothers' "Que Sera Mi Vida" next to classics by Sylvester, Dan Hartman, and Chic, the music supervisors of 54 have assembled irrefutable proof that the late '70s weren't the musical wasteland those idiots who torched their Donna Summer LPs claimed. However, the producers apparently weren't entirely immune to the commercial leanings that undermined disco via overexposure; program your CD player to skip the annoying cut-and-paste medley "Studio 54" and Mary Griffin's updated "Knock on Wood," which pales next to Amii Stewart's chart-topping 1979 reading. --Kurt B. Reighley

Music has those in this CD are not made anymore, definately! If you're a fan of Disco/Funky music then Studio 54 is a MUST! I can't stop playin'it either in my car or in my home appliances. GREAT whenever! It brings back the fun of the late 70's and the mid 80's.

If you are from the Disco Era or just love that music (and who doesn't?) then you will love this album. Every song brings back so many memories (I am a 70's grad) and I enjoy dancing to every one! It is also a really great CD to listen to while you do your walking to keep you moving and at a brisk pace!!

A fine collection of unpedestrian disco and funk.......2003-12-02

In looking at the selection on Volume I, I notice the songs are taken from 1977 to 1979, accurate enough during Steve Rubell's 15 minutes of fame. After a snippets medley of songs done here and on Volume II, Latin rhythms and keyboards come in with Gary's Gang's "Keep On Dancin'". A slow start, given most of the material here.

Diana Ross's "The Boss" was written by man-wife songwriters Ashford and Simpson, and this is typical of the material she did during her disco period, e.g. "Love Hangover" and the Diana album. However, the Michael Jackson style yelps are a bit much.

"Dance Dance Dance (Yowsah Yowsah Yowsah)" was one of Chic's first big hits from 1977, and introduced innovative instrumentation during a time that the disco genre was being maligned. With the way string-synths and funky beats are crafted into great hooks, I see yet another Prince influence that kind of made its way into LoveSexy.

Talented multiple instrumentalist and light tenor Dan Hartman's "Vertigo/Relight My Fire" is next, replete with vibes, synths, and other whooshy sounds, well worth its eight minute running time. I'm not sure how his version did but Take That took "Relight My Fire" to the #1 in the UK after his death from AIDS. A standout cut here, as long as no one relights the fire to burn more disco records.

Sylvester's "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)" should be familiar, with that high-pitched falsetto of his.

"Move On Up" is the Curtis Mayfield song that its author pushed to #12 on the UK charts in 1971, but done by Destination in 1979. Not too much variation, as it maintains that jamming horn section.

"Eye to eye contact, you and me" sing the gravelly soulful Edwin Starr and his singers in "Contact." It shows how someone can do a fun upbeat song like this and do a politically serious song like "War", which he did the year before "Contact."

Spacey synths and disco synths with a slight bluesy riff on the chorus, and a gospel-tinged chorus that sways with the music, that's Mary Griffin's "Knock On Wood" for you.

"I got my mind made up, come on, you can get it, get it girl, anytime" raps Instant Funk, to which a woman goes "Say what?" incredulously and then "tonight is fine" as the response. Instant Funk, huh? So, how many cups of water do we add? There's already been some disco added, I can tell you.

Odyssey's "Native New Yorker" with its lush strings, is one of those romantic, dance by the fireplace numbers like "Love's Theme" from Love's Unlimited Orchestra, though not as gushy.
The Gibson Brothers' unison shout of "if you should go" in "Que Sera Mi Vida" and electric keyboards echoes the Village People. Strong soul vocals in the verses.

Rose Royce's lush ballad, the UK Top 3 "Wishing On A Star" is the sweetest song here and Yvonne Fair has the best voice of any of the artists on this collection. Clearly they were riding on the crest following the success of the Car Wash soundtrack.

What makes this worthwhile is that for the most part, it doesn't pick the well-tread disco standards found on the Pure Disco compilations but other merit-worthy selections from that era that people may have heard from somewhere but forgot who did them. A superlative collection.

I misplaced this old soundtrack and was able to purchase another on Amazon.com. This is a great soundtrack and the music is terrific. This is one soundtract you should add to your collection. I've purchased several cd's and products in general from Amazon and have never been disspointed.

A great soundtrack with noticable omissions.......2006-01-16

La Bamba (1987.) The soundtrack to the Ritchie Valens biopic of the same name.

INTRODUCTION:
In 1987, the film La Bamba, based on the life and times of fifties pop-rock star Ritchie Valens, was released. The film cast Lou Diamond Phillips as the classic musician, and told his story, from his rise to fame, right down to his young and tragic death. For the film, Los Lobos, a fairly popular act of the day, was asked to rerecord classic Valens material for the movie. Some other moderately popular musicians who portrayed other musicians of the same era depicted in the film also provided recordings for the film. So, how is the soundtrack? Read on, and find out!

OVERVIEW:
The La Bamba soundtrack was released in 1987, around the same time as the film of the same name. Contributors to the soundtrack include Los Lobos, Howard Huntsberry, Marshall Crenshaw, Brian Setzer, and Bo Diddley. The A-Side of the soundtrack sonsists of the Los Lobos covers of the Ritchie Valens songs La Bamba, Come On Lets Go, Ooh My Head, We Belong Together, Framed, and Donna. The B-Side consists of the other artists' covers, which include Howard Huntsberry's cover of Jackie Wilson's Lonely Teardrops, Marshall Crenshaw's cover of Buddy Holly's Crying Waiting Hoping, Brian Setzer's cover of Eddie Cochran's Summertime Blues, Bo Diddley's remake of his own classic tune Who Do You Love, and the two songs Los Lobos recorded for the film which were not remakes, Charlena and Goodnight My Love.

REVIEW:
Awesome movie, awesome soundtrack. I'm a huge fan of the music of Ritchie Valens, and for the most part, La Bamba proved to be an efficient and entertaining retelling of the Valens saga. Aside from some omitted material (which I'll get to later), the soundtrack is every bit as good as the film it represents. Read on for my reviews of the tracks.

-SIDE A-

-La Bamba by Los Lobos: Los Lobos covers the track that took Ritchie Valens to the top of the musical world. Being a folk song, no one ever thought a rock and roll version would do well - Valens proved the non-believers wrong! Los Lobos does a great cover of it, too. The band actually did two versions of the song for the movie - a rendition of the slower, folksier version by the bar band that convinced Valens to cover the song himself, as well as the classic version Valens did. This is the classic Valens version. I wish they had included both versions of the soundtrack, though (although an instrumental sequence near the end of this version DOES reprise elements of the folk-type version. Still, I wanted BOTH versions as complete, separate tracks!)

-Come On Lets Go by Los Lobos: This classic rockabilly-style cut was another huge hit for Ritchie Valens. Los Lobos creates a fine rendition of the classic cut, staying true to the Valens original while at the same time adding their own spin onto things. All in all, another great song.

-Ooh My Head by Los Lobos: Not much to say about this one. Once again, Los Lobos manages to create an excellent version of one of the many classic Valens tunes people know and love him for. Every song on this soundtrack is excellent, and this one is no exception.

-We Belong Together by Los Lobos: Ah, the classic Valens love song. Although its success was pretty much ousted by the better known ballad Donna, this one was still a fairly notable hit for Valens. The Los Lobos take on the ballad is a damn good one - but I shouldn't have to tell you that, now should I?

-Framed by Los Lobos: Of all of the Ritchie Valens song that Los Lobos revisited in La Bamba, this one is the least well known. That's a shame, because it's a great song! The song takes a classic blues styling, and puts a rockabilly spin on it. Once again, Los Lobos does a marvelous cover version of the song.

-Donna by Los Lobos: This song was so big a hit for Ritchie Valens initially, that his only song even on the same plane of popularity is La Bamba. The classic ode Valens wrote to his high school girlfriend proved to be the stuff that has withstood the test of time. And I know you're probably getting tired of me saying this for every song, but Los Lobos really does a good job on here.

-SIDE B-

-Lonely Teardrops by Howard Huntsberry: In La Bamba, Howard Huntsberry portrayed the classic soul singer Jackie Wilson. And here, Huntsberry reprises Wilson's signature tune. This is classic soul at its very best. Prior to seeing La Bamba, I had never even heard of Huntsberry. But the real shocker is that I ended up liking this version of the song more than the original! Definitely a solid, underrated cut.

-Crying Waiting Hoping by Marshall Crenshaw: Marshall Crenshaw, a fairly popular eighties pop signer, managed to land the role of Buddy Holly in La Bamba. Holly, of course, was killed in the same plane crash that claimed the life of Ritchie Valens. Buddy Holly is a tough guy to cover, but Marshall Crenshaw does a damn good job of it. I personally prefer this version over Holly's original (and that's saying a lot since I LOVE Buddy Holly!) If you're interested in hearing Crenshaw cover another Holly tune, check out the remastered version of his 1982 self-titled debut - he covers Rave On on there as a bonus track.

-Summertime Blues by Brian Setzer: Long before Brian Setzer gained any real fame, he played Eddie Cochran in La Bamba, covering the song that made that man a rockabilly legend. Here's another one of those covers that is so good, I like it more than the original. Definitely worthwhile listening - but then again, isn't every song on here?

-Who Do You Love by Bo Diddley: Bo Diddley himself did this song originally so very long ago, and was asked to rerecord it for La Bamba. He did, and the end results are solid. Diddley is a legend of the blues, and this recording is just a small sample of why so many people feel that way. It just a shame that the version of this song most people remember is the George Thorogood one, because Diddley's version is the song the way it was meant to be heard.

-Charlena by Los Lobos: In addition to the Ritchie Valens covers, Los Lobos recorded two new songs for the La Bamba soundtrack. This is the first of the two. Essentially, this here is a neo-rockabilly track of sorts, and a damn good one too. Long after the fifties music scene died out, Los Lobos still managed to record a song that suited the style perfectly.

-Goodnight My Love by Los Lobos: Here's the second of the newly-recorded Los Lobos songs done for the soundtrack. What we have here is one of those classic fifties-style rock ballads that were so popular back then. If you're into that sort of thing, you're going to love this song - I know I do!

-OTHER COMMENTS-
Omissions are the biggest problem with this soundtrack, by far. As I previously stated, only one version of La Bamba is on here - not both versions from the film. Another omission is Sleepwalk, the classic Santo And Johnny instrumental that shows up frequently in the film. Its omission is likely due to the fact that it wasn't recorded just for the film, but still, I miss it. And then there's the issue of Rip It Up, the classic Ritchie Valens rockabilly tune he first plays with his band in their garage, early on in the film. This was one of my favorite songs in the film, and I was devastated not to see it on here. And where's the Big Bopper's Chantilly Lace? I rated this soundtrack four stars instead of five because of omissions. If these songs had been on here, it would be five stars all the way.

OVERALL:
Overall, despite my issues with the omitted songs, I am very satisfied with the La Bamba soundtrack. Much like the movie, it's an excellent experience all the way through. If you liked the movie, or you're just into this sort of music, the soundtrack is well worth owning. Highly recommended!

EDITION NOTES:
This soundtrack is becoming increasingly more difficult to find on compact disc, implying it may be very gradually going out of print. Take my advice - if you want it, just buy it online. It's the fastest, easiest way to get it.

OLDE REVIEW.La Bamba.......2005-10-18

Sound track other than the primary cut, LaBamba .Did not seem the same as the movie.Would not recommened the sound track.Was purchased as a gift.

Yo no soy marinero........2004-09-27

This is a solid soundtrack. Los Lobos do a good job of duplicating Ritchie Valens' old songs (although there was no accordion on the original versions). The other cover songs, by Howard Huntsberry, Marshall Crenshaw and Brian Setzer, are also well done. Bo Diddley does a great remake of his classic "Who Do You Love". The last two songs by Los Lobos are not Ritchie Valens songs, but they are okay. If you liked the movie, you will probably like the soundtrack, too.

RnR Reverence.......2003-07-08

Los Lobos got their big break when they were asked to re-record (and mime for the movie) a number of Ritchie Valens' biggest hits for this soundtrack, and the production and performances are nothing short of fantastic.

I give it only 4 stars however, because they are covers, and respect must be paid to those stars who came up with them in the first place. But Marshall Crenshaw, who's presently one of rock's premiere songwriters, ably tackles Buddy Holly's "Crying, Waiting, Hoping", while Brian Setzer (wayyy before swing came back in a big way) seems the natural choice to cover Eddy Cochran's "Summertime Blues".

With pop song-collection soundtracks becoming an increasingly popular way for artists and labels to market new music, the connections to the films they're supposed to be supporting becomes increasingly tenuous. Witness Trainspotting #2;. Inspired by the success of director Danny Boyle's bleakly hilarious tale of a band of smacked-out Scottish louts and the strong pop collection that underscored it, #2 is nearly as thematically compelling, if artistically suspect. These are songs that, as the producers put it, "inspired the filmmakers or (have) been inspired by the film." Thus we get star Ewan McGregor's memorable "choose life" monolog sampled and looped over the dance music of PF Project or Joy Division's "Atmosphere" simply because the director "always wanted Joy Division in the film." What's next? Gone With the Wind featuring Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird"? --Jerry McCulley

Ok, I guess. No way close to Trainspotting #1, Iggy Pop n'all. Hardly listen to it. Too electronic & rave for me!

Great album, but falls short of the first one.......2002-03-06

I enjoy this album very much, however I don't like it near as much as the first one.

The remixes aren't as good as the original tunes and there are a handful of tunes tossed in that seem out of place here. Habanera? Golden Years by Bowie? Huh?

I loved it.......2001-08-20

The tracks on this CD are expecially great when running on the treadmill!
