A-Z Of British TV Themes Vol.2 - Various Artists

Advantages: Great songs
Disadvantages: Lack of well-known artists may put some people off.

...The soundtrack to the OC has always been one of the major selling points of the television series. This CD features 12 of the tracks found on the soundtrack of the television series. The CD includes the hugely popular theme song "California" by Phantom Planet as well as other songs from the series. My personal favourites include Alexi Murdoch's "Orange Sky" and the brilliant "We Used To Be Friends" by the Dandy Warhols. The mixture of styles of music makes for a unique CD, and the songs all fit perfectly into the album. This CD is essential for any fan of the television series and the songs will bring back memories of some of the show's most memorable moments. Highly recommended... Read review

Online on Amazon the product has been discontinued and elsewhere I have been unable to find it. I would recommend a look at Ebay if you are interested in this product, as it runs on a global scale. The cd itself I found to be brilliant. Although I am a teenager, I am addicted to the Anderson tv shows, above all Thunderbirds. Therefore, this CD was the one for me as it not only features Thunderbirds, but also Captain Scarlet, Joe 90 and Stingray. I specifically bought this CD for these particular tunes, but there are many more on the CD so it is suitable... Read review
