5 out of 5 stars Great to have this version to replace my "burned from vinyl" version!.......2005-09-14

But very disappointed at the missing tracks, "The Good the Bad & the Ugly" by the Pogues and "Money, Guns & Coffee" by Pray for Rain. The liner notes do say that all songs on this CD are in the order they appeared in the film. Maybe those two tracks didn't make the cut for the film? I haven't seen the film. But I'm a Pogues fan and this is an essential collectors item, more so than many of the re-releases of old Pogues albums. Some fantastick new Pogues material that needed to get into my hands!

Just finished listening to the soundtrack loaded into iTunes, with the two missing tracks at the end and the missing Pray for Rain song sounds so out of place with the album! It really sounds like a pop remix of several of the Pray for Rain tunes elsewhere on this CD. I can see why that one was cut. Never noticed it so stringly without the full soundtrack to compare against.

The missing Pogues song turns out to be the same thing. Another pop remix, with a whole lot of audio clips which I assume are from the movie and simply blended with a Pogues riff. I mean the "The Good the Bad & the Ugly" starts with a drum track! then soon inserts electric guitar riffs? When did the Pogues ever use a drum machine and electric guitar? Yes, those two tracks from the original soundtrack don't belong here except as "bonus tracks".

The shortened version of "Killers" also seems to be attributable to only including on this release what was in the film. The version on the 1987 album has a reprise that just repeats the theme for another 58 seconds only to fade away at the end. The version on this CD has a crisp ending, and as such would make a better beggining to a film of this sort. Hard edges. If I were editing the film, I'd use the version on this new CD. The old version may have been "fluffed" for the original music release, as the two missing tracks seem to be.

Other than that, Todd's review sums it up!

4 out of 5 stars Straight To Hell Returns.....but not with everything!.......2004-09-11

If you were lucky enough to buy the soundtrack when first released in 1987 on Enigma Records, hang on to that out of print gem! Straight To Hell is back on CD as Straight to Hell Returns, and may have a lot more tracks this time, but it also deleted two tracks from the original release and shortens another track.

Not appearing this time are: "The Good, The Bad And The Ugly" by The Pogues, and my personal favorite "Money, Guns And Coffee" by Pray For Rain. The track "The Killers" by Pray For Rain ran 2 minutes 55 seconds on the original, but on this new release was shortened to only 2 minutes. This is rather perplexing considering Straight To Hell Returns runs a total of 55 minutes 7 seconds, which would have left room for those other tracks to be included (since CDs can run a total of 79 minutes 59 seconds). I'm deducting a point from my rating of this CD because the missing tracks should have been included!

On the plus side, this new release contains a lot of short instrumental tracks from the film that were not on the original CD release in 1987, as well as some brief dialogue excerpts.

The film was a misunderstood classic, and the soundtrack of spaghetti western-style rock is wonderful: The Pogues, Joe Strummer, Pray For Rain, Zander Schloss, Elvis Costello's MacManus Gang, and even dialogue excerpts from Courtney Love before she was, well, I guess the word is "famous." If you're a fan of any of these artists, you'll love this assortment of songs...those not familiar with the film may not be able to absorb the atmosphere these songs and instrumentals create, so get the film on DVD and you'll appreciate the works of these artists so much more.

The liner notes claim this CD is to be considered the "official" soundtrack, while the first release of it back in 1987 was basically a "souvenir." I enjoy both releases immensely, but since I was listening to those other deleted tracks for nearly 20 years now, it's sad to not hear them this time around!
