The Full Monty is a very funny film which is about 6 unemployed men living in Sheffield, the one is in danger of not seeing his son as he cannot pay the maintenance money to his mother so he comes up with the idea of setting up a stripping act which for one night only will go the full Monty. This is the soundtrack from the film and includes the following tracks:-
1. The Zodiac - David Lindup 2. You Sexy Thing - Hot Chocolate 3. You Can Leave Your Hat On - Tom Jones 4. Moving On Up - M People 5. Make Me Smile (Come up and See Me) - Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel 6. The Full Monty 7. The Lunchbox Has Landed 8. Land of a 1,000 Dances - Wilson Pickett 9. Rock and Roll, Part 2 - Gary Glitter 10. Hot Stuff - Donna Summer 11. We Are family - Sister Sledge 12. Flashdance…What a Feeling - Irene Cara 13. The Stripper - Joe Loss and His Orchestra
All of the Tracks are ones which featured at important and memorable scenes in the film and ever time I listen to it I am reminded of the parts from the film and it always makes me smile.
The tracks include a very good mix and the songs are all to a good standard. The singers are all very good and include and wide selection with the likes of Tom Jones and then Joe Loss and his Orchestra. Despite the complete difference in some of the songs none of them seem to be out of place of the CD. My personal favourite on here is Hot Stuff as it reminds me of them all standing in the line at the dole office and then without realising that they are doing so they start to do their dance routine. My hubby always does a silly dance when this song comes on.
I do find I listen to this CD more in the kitchen when cooking as it is full of very feel good songs and always cheers me up. I think this album will appeal to all goes as it has a mix of older songs and also newer ones for the younger listener. I think the first song is probably the weakest on the CD and I do find I skip this move straight on to the second track which is an absolute classic.
The CD was produced in 1997 by BMG. I paid a bargain price of £4 from Tesco for mine so shop around and get yourself a bargain.
I recommend this CD to all fans of the film or just anyone who likes a good mix of feel good music.

Good overview of the feel of the CD and the mood the music gets the listener into.

I think the review would be fine for somebody who has either seen the film or is familiar with the songs. Whilst a number of the songs are reasonably well known there are also a number of obscure ones and it would be helpful if more information for these less mainstream songs was included.
