While not as much of a commercial success as Quentin Tarantino's later film Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs is today regarded as a classic, although happily one that doesn't take itself too seriously. With its out-of-sequence narrative involving a diamond heist, its desperate characters expressing opinions on music and cinema, and the constant radio play (all the film's music is from source cues), Dogs remains shocking and exhilarating. Even stronger on the CD is the implication that the story is somehow being told by Steven Wright's deadpan '70s disc jockey. Tracks include "Little Green Bag" by the George Baker Selection, "Hooked on a Feeling" by Blue Swede, "I Gotcha" by Joe Tex, "Coconut" by Harry Nilsson, and the one that will always remind viewers of the movie's grisliest scene, "Stuck in the Middle with You" by Stealers Wheel. --Stanley Booth

PARTY!.......2007-06-29

Let me just start this review by saying that THE only way I can listen to George Baker's LITTLE GREEN BAG is with Steven Wrights informative talk up at the beginning... "K Billy's Super sounds of the seventies weekend just keeps on rolling with this little diddy from 1971..."

While the CD itself may not always present itself so well at a party, with all of the dialougue mixed in, and the fact that you can't put it on shuffle if you want to enjoy the Steven Wright goodness, because the dialougue is seperated from the song tracks... this CD is still a party in itself... I've mixed every single one of these songs into various mixes...Steven Wright warm ups ARE essential, and a sure fire way to mix in some songs like HOOKED ON A FEELING or NILSONS' LIME IN THE COCONUT song! And don't forget STUCK IN THE MIDDLE! Awesome music! Party! Rock! Easy choice...

Best. Soundtrack. Ever........2007-06-27

For any fan of the movie, the soundtrack for Reservoir Dogs constantly brings you back to those gut-wrenching and mind-blowing scenes from the movie.

A must have for any lover of the 70s or just the movie.

If there's one thing I must give Quentin Tarantino high marks for is putting together some amazing soundtracks that both make for great listening and complement the film. After I'd first seen "Reservoir Dogs" (far later than every other decent movie-loving person on the planet), it struck me as being a good film with the potential to be truly great after several more viewings. I already knew it was going to become one of my top favorite movies of all time. But what gave it that special kick -- besides the simple but tight plot, the incredible actors, and the love of my life Steve Buscemi (did I just type that out loud...?) -- was the music. And even before I learned to fully appreciate the movie, I wanted -- no, *needed* -- the soundtrack. The songs weren't extraneous or inappropriate, but they effectively punctuated, underlined, and italicized certain scenes and made them even more memorable and meaningful than they would've been without the aural enhancements. As opposed to just random musical sounds laid over a scene, they actually fit in and occasionally lent some commentary if you think about it.

I can listen to this soundtrack over and over (much like the "Pulp Fiction" soundtrack) and it's almost like reliving another layer of the movie. It also has the eclecticism of a free-form radio show, thanks to Steven Wright's "DJ"-ing. Okay, so this CD short. Okay, so some of the songs have been played to death already (did anybody catch the stupid Coke commercials that totally ruined the "Coconut" song? Feh...). It still works as a whole, film dialogue and DJ bits included.

Seriously funny.......2005-01-04

I did feel a bit gypped when I paid the regular price for this half-hour CD, but for anyone who saw the movie and even moderately enjoyed it, it's a must-buy. With the dialogue included, it can even function as a kind of poor man's DVD.

One star for Little Green Bag. I never realized how good this song was until I heard it in full.

One star for Blue Swede's Hooked on a Feeling, which, although it only plays for a second in the movie, is a great song.

One star for the way Steve Wright pronounces 'Bohemiath.' It's worth buying it just for this. I'm serious.

One star for the Madonna Speech, and Lawrence Tierney muttering: "Chu...Toby Chu?"

One star for the way Steve Wright says: "...and Edison Lighthouse's...Love Grows...Where My Rosemary Goes."

The Coconut song and Stuck in the Middle With You are also great. The only thing I missed was any part of the dialogue which begins with Steve Buscemi saying: "How come _I_ gotta be Mister Pink?"

Overrated, but still good........2004-04-19

I'm more a fan of the film, but still decent tunes on here. Truthfully, these 16 tracks contain just 8 songs, the rest is dialogue from "Steven Wright" and others, and amusing just a listen or two. To be honest, unless this is your favorite movie ever, I think you'll find half of these songs annoying, and the only ones I really enjoy are "Fool For Love" and "Stuck In The Middle With You". The rest have been overplayed to death. I like the "Pulp Fiction" disc more, but still only play that once a year. I'll tell you which "Tarantino" soundtracks are excellent though: "Natural Born Killers" and "True Romance".
