Editorial Reviews

There's a popular movie trivia game called Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon whose rough hypothesis is that the actor is somehow the center of the cinematic universe. One doesn't get very far into the game without encountering Footloose. The film that seems destined to become an 80's camp classic (repressed Midwestern youth bravely fighting for their right to dance) was also a notable trailblazer in the pop song soundtrack marketing scam, i.e. line up a bunch of contemporary hit makers and have them cut a batch of songs that might not be germaine to the film's plot but will sell oodles of units. But damned if Footloose isn't a classic slice--for better or worse--of mid-'80s, album-oriented rock. This kind of instant era-compilation must make the folks at K-Tel very nervous. --Jerry McCulley

4 out of 5 stars Eh, It's Okay.......2007-04-24

If you like listening to songs played in the background of movies, go for this one. I am more of the score type of soundtrack buyer. The CD in a whole was enjoyable for a car ride, but not much more than that. I am still satisfied with my purchase though.

2 out of 5 stars the burden of older recordings.......2007-01-09

I was a bit disappointed about this SACD. The sound quality is better then the original one but not that good compared to some other SACD's I own. The best one until now is by far 'Brothers in Arms' by Dire Straits. It is also based on a (20 years) old recording but you really get the feeling sitting next to Knopler when he tickles those strings.

5 out of 5 stars better than the first.......2006-11-03

There are not many times that the remastered out does the original but this does and the added bonus of 4 tracks are a welcpme addition.

5 out of 5 stars great music with great technology.......2006-10-29

This SACD is worth buying. Sound is better than it was eventhough it has only two channel.

3 out of 5 stars FOOTLOOSE ~ A little too loose for me........2006-09-19

A great CD! However, it cannot compete with the hits from "FLASHDANCE".
