Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
For those of us who grew up in the '70s, this drive-in compilation of '50s and '60s rock and doo-wop, complete with Wolfman Jack introductions, was our introduction to this music. There are 41 jukebox hits here, and every one of them is a classic of its time (although two tracks--"At the Hop" and "She's so Fine" are covers by the revival band Flash Cadillac & the Continental Kids). In his 1973 movie, director George Lucas used the music (and the presence of mysterious deejay Wolfman) as the AM-radio soundtrack to one night in suburban California, 1962. The idea was to capture and sustain an end-of-summer, end-of-innocence mood that's in the air throughout the picture-- not as a shortcut to establishing a period (as in Robert Zemeckis'Forrest Gump). There's an awful lot of spontaneous energy in these tunes--from Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly, to the Platters and the Clovers and the Del-Vikings, to the Crests and the Beach Boys--and also just a hint of melancholy that goes down very nicely with a burger, shake, and fries. --Jim Emerson

Customer Reviews:
Music of an Entire Era.......2007-05-03
I loved the movie and I love the soundtrack. It's amazing to hear so many great songs and bands of the past all together at once.
The soundtrack truly embodies an entire era of music, the mood and feel of which anyone who listens can feel. You are drawn into it by listening and just plain feel good during it, the songs are some of the most remembered and loved of all time.
This movie started or at least kept alive that trend of letting music be another character and being a significant part of the story. George Lucas, i and I'm sure everyone else believe, accomplished his goal. To make a movie that dealt with, among other things, coming of age; and to let music be a huge part of that story. You wouldn't have American Graffiti without all of these great songs of the olden days. They made that movie great.
Gets the Party Going !.......2007-04-23
Great fun in this collection of great Classic songs.
Getting right to the point, this CD is an essential addition to any music lover's collection.
Buy it and get the party mood going ! :)
Classic.......2007-01-21
This is a fantastic soundtrack. The oldies are fading away from every day radio. Now is the time to buy CD's like this to keep that era alive.

Customer Reviews:
This is only half of the soundtrack..........2005-09-03
Note that this is only half of the soundtrack to _American Graffiti_ (hence the "Volume 2" subtitle). The original soundtrack has 41 songs.
To the reviewer below, "Hang on Sloopy" was on the soundtrack to the poor sequel, _More American Graffiti_, not the original.
This isn't right.......2004-07-17
This isn't right. I've been hunting for this soundtrack and this isn't it. I distinctly remember "Hang on Sloopy" and "Why don't you write me?". They are missing here. I had it originally on 8 track.

This 20-song distillation of the original 41-song soundtrack from George Lucas's potent paean to rock & roll strips out many of the one-hit wonders originally featured while retaining the more enduring artists. Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Fats Domino, and the Beach Boys are back, thankfully. However, Danny & the Juniors, the Monotones, and the Silhouettes have been expelled from Mel's Drive-In. Granted, none of those outfits had an abiding impact, but their songs--"At the Hop," "Book of Love," "Get a Job"--are as unconditionally emblematic of the pre-Beatles period. They didn't skimp on the whipped cream at Mel's, and they really don't here. But where's that cherry on the top? You'll find it on the original American Graffiti soundtrack. --Steven Stolder
