A brilliant soundtrack with lots of variety

Advantages: Great variety: well known hits, beautiful songs and amazing covers
Disadvantages: Last two songs are a fairly boring

In my opinion, if you loved the film, you will love the soundtrack! I thought the covers on this album were brilliant, such as Will Young's version of Your Love Is King, and Mary J Blige's version of Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word. Some of the songs on this album are very "mushy", but personally I see this as a bonus (let's face it, the film is pretty mushy and girly but that's what we love about it) and there are some more uplifting, upbeat ...
...by The Darkness. The highlight of the album in my opinion, is I Eat Dinner. It is such a beautiful song and I'm so glad they included it in both the film and the soundtrack. I like the fact that the album consists of songs which have been huge hits, aswell as some great songs which most people will not have heard before, not forgtting the amazing covers. Overall, the CD is definitely worth the money, and I would certainly recommend this soundtrack ...

The Who's who?

Advantages: Good souvenir for fans
Disadvantages: Very similar to original "Quadrophenia" album

Described as one of the most "powerful British films ever made," you would expect more from this album than just a re-release of an album with a few chops and changes. However, it does serve as an appropriate souvenir of the film, and the new songs "Joker James" and "Four Faces" gives you the extra bonus material that the original "Quadrophenia" album doesn't provide. Decent tracks included the first "I Am the Sea," "Helpless Boy" and "Joker James" ...

Excellent Evita

Advantages: A pure, raw and brilliantly original cd.
Disadvantages: N/A

One of the most historic and successful shows produced by Andrew Lloyd Weber and Tim Rice. This recording pre Madonna's film version still remains a classic and a sure fire hit. This original compilation two cd version of the show allows for a lot of open interpretations to these now recognised classic songs, with top notch performances from Julie Covington, Paul Jones and even Tony Christie. A very emotional yet raw production that shows the quality ...

Has the moon lost her memory?

Advantages: Excellent mix of music, very easy listening and full performance.
Disadvantages: Repitition

...a catalyst for future musicals. Cats became London's longest-running musical in 1989 when it played its 3358th performance at the New London Theatre. In 1996 it became the longest running musical ever to play in the West End or on Broadway. It is probably Lord Lloyd Webber's best known work. Thankfully we managed to see the production London Company on it's farewell tour at the Edinburgh Playhouse Theatre about 2 years ago and we will always treasure ...
...when the tribe of Jellicle Cats reunites to celebrate who they are. The cats emerge one by one, singing of their unique abilities and special traits in a fusion of poetry and dance. But the cats are not alone - humans (the audience) are present in the cats' private world. The cats are at first reluctant and suspicious to include others in their domain. They are proud, however, and they explain to their human visitors who they are and reveal that ...

Who let the Dogs out?

Advantages: A wide variety of tunes
Disadvantages: Too short

I’m a big fan of the film, so when I saw the Soundtrack on offer, I decided to buy it. When the film was released in 1992 it caused a storm with its extreme violence. The soundtrack on the other hand doesn't seem to mirror any of that. The cover shows the film cast with blood splashed in the background, yet the CD is made up of uplifting 70's songs. Some of them now famous and well known because of the film. It's become common to include little ...
...no different. Some are main lines from the film and others are the monotone DJ from the film playing ‘K-Billy’s Super Sounds Of The Seventies’. The tracks are as follows: 1. Little Green Bag – performed by George Baker Selection- Anyone who knows the film will know this song. It’s the one that’s played during the opening credits while the cast are walking down a street in slow motion. It starts with a guitar and the shaking of a tambourine in the ...
