Easy Rider - Original Soundtrack

Advantages: Excellent Movie Sountrack.
Disadvantages: None!

...outside the famous Georgetown pub in the movie called "The Tombs". They are featured in this movie still sitting on a bench and all looking quite bored and cheesed off. All the stars really look very young and fresh faced in this picture and Rob Lowe (My favourite) is sitting at the end of the bench, beside his bicycle, looking very handsome indeed. At the top of the cover the title St Elmo's Fire is nicely headed in white lettering and this stands out well on the red background. Overall a great, eye-catching front cover to this soundtrack that is easy to recognise on my CD rack. Back Cover Of St Elmo's Fire Soundtrack. Well the back cover of this soundtrack is nothing very fancy at all. There are no pictures, just plenty of information about each and every one of the ten tracks. They are clearly printed onto the autumn red background... Read review

It's the whole standing in front of a mirror with the hairbrush CD. If you're a big fan of the film like me, then this is the perfect CD as you know all of the words off by heart without even realising it! Everyone loves Patrick Swayze, and he sings track 3 (She's Like The Wind). It gives me goosebumps every time! What makes this soundtrack even better is the price. For less than a fiver there's all the fun of the film! It'll get you dancing before you know it! Although you'll wish you were dancing with Patrick rather than on your own. LOL.... Read review
