Your Cheatin' Heart (The MGM Soundtrack Album - Hank Williams' Life Story) - Original Soundtrack

Advantages: Legendary soundtrack is given the deluxe edition, with full remastered tracks
Disadvantages: Some minor flaws...

...<<<<< Seventeen Years Old And Still Going Strong >>>>> In the summer of 1987, the biggest smash of the summer was DIRTY DANCING. We all know the story and the characters, but most of all we remember and love the music. A unique collection of classic 1960’s tunes and 1980s songs made this the best selling soundtrack of the year---shattering previous records held by SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER, FLASHDANCE and FOOTLOOSE. I was shocked when I read inside the new, ultimate edition of the soundtrack that the original soundtrack CD sold over a million copies in the first five weeks. In fact, the soundtrack sold so well, that it was the first time in history where a film spawned a second soundtrack, and both of them had stayed on the Top Ten for a long time. Needless to say, also, the hit climactic song, “I’ve Had The Time of My Life... Read review

Advantages: It's the best Harry Potter score yet - deeper, darker and inspired!
Disadvantages: Where have the old themes gone??

...John Williams. + Album produced by John Williams. + Enhanced CD Summary: John Williams’ score to Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is a triumph - dark and intelligent. Not only is it more inspired and exciting than the last two, it also recognises the changes that both the franchise and Harry himself are going through.

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

...commercial hits by well known artists of the time. Yet, many of these songs I think don't hold that deep a connection with the show and in a way were just album fillers. 'Coz I Luv You' by Slade is an undeniable reference to the affection that Sam has for fellow copper, WDC Annie Cartwright. To me though, its appearance in the series seemed a bit corny, a feeling that for me translated over to the soundtrack CD. 'Whisky in the Jar' by Thin Lizzy is a song that I consider to be a classic rock track with great, edgy guitar riffs and powerful, engulfing vocals provided by Phil Lynott. However, in the context of Life on Mars, it makes very little sense as it was originally an Irish folk tale about a highwayman being betrayed by his lover! However, if you did want to find a link with the show, then I guess you could link it back to super alpha male... Read review
