Essential Lee Perry (The Ultimate Upsetter) - various artists

Advantages: Great Songs You Remember From Films
Disadvantages: Dancing The 'Hot Stuff' From 'The Full Monty'!!

...I am a huge music fan, I have been since I was old enough to listen and since that day, I have had a diverse music taste, I cannot pin point my favourite genre and I find music very uplifting & I especially love music in films. So, did you, like me, love the music used in Uma Thurman & John Travolta's dancing scene in 'Pulp Fiction', did you feel Donna Summer's 'Hot Stuff' dancing scene in 'The Full Monty' was great, did you love the hustle soundtrack to 'Lock, Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels'? Are you a Film Four fan? If you can answer yes to any of these questions, I am certain you'd find something you like on this album.

Advantages: Some great, memorable songs from the 1970's
Disadvantages: A lot of rubbish along the way

..., the track listing I find is very hit and miss and offers the series little to no additional credit. There are some suburb songs amongst the terrible, but they are a bit few and far between: 1) Introduction: King of the Jungle (Series 1, Episode 1) 2) David Bowie: Life on Mars? (Series 1, Episodes 1 & 8, Series 2, Episode 8) 3) Roxy Music: Street Life (Series 2, Episode 1) 4) Paul McCartney and Wings: Live and Let Die (Series 1, Episode 2) 5) Electric Light Orchestra: 10538 Overture (Series 2, Episode 5) 6) John Kongos: Tokoloshi Man (Series 1, Episode 8) 7) Atomic Rooster: Devil's Answer (Series 1, Episode 8) 8) T.Rex: Rock On (Series 2, Episode 4) 9) Free: Little Bit of Love (Series 1, Episode 8) 10) Lee 'Scratch' Perry and the Upsetters: Jungle Lion (Series 2, Episode 3) 11) Dialogue: Armed Bastards (multiple episodes; Series 1...
