4 out of 5 stars soundtrack review.......2007-03-21

If you are a fan of authentic 80's synth pop then this is a good choice!
I would recommend this album for some kind of 80's themed party or event - it is an upbeat, feel-good compilation.

5 out of 5 stars Nice cd.......2005-10-19

It is a good cd, if you like music from 1980. I live in Denmark, so it took some weeks before it got there, but that was okay.

3 out of 5 stars Beverly Hills Cop-Great Movie, Good Soundtrack.......2005-06-25

My brother and I saw Beverly Hills Cop at the movies when I was 7 and my brother was 10. The next summer for my 8th birthday I got the Soundtrack at a party for me at Chuck E. Cheese's! Man was I happy. Now, 20 years later I'm buying the Soudtrack on CD. It's a pretty good Soundtrack. The Patti LaBelle songs are good, and I'm a big Glenn Frey fan, although "The Heat Is On" is no Eagles. The only downfall is the omission of the song "Nasty Girl" by Prince protege Vanity 6. Oh well, it's still a pretty good soundtrack. For me the Soundtrack brings back memories of my youth. A very impressionable movie for a 7 year old, and the music made an impression too.

4 out of 5 stars Fantastic and Infectious.......2004-09-07

This is one of the best soundtrack albums to come out of the 80s. Many a good song on this collection, the best ones are highlighted below -

1. Neutron Dance by Pointer Sisters. Fantastic piece of electro-pop used in the truck chase at the beginning of the movie.
2. New Attitude & Stir It Up by Patti LaBelle. These songs are probably Patti's finest work.
3. The Heat Is On by Glenn Frey - fantastic sax solo and infectious chorus makes this song one of the best from the 80s.
4. Rock and Roll Me Again by The System. Remember the System? (Don't Disturb This Groove) This song wasn't in the movie but it's still a good catchy pop tune.

The only reason this soundtrack doesn't get 5 stars from me is because it's missing "Nasty Girl" by Vanity 6. However, it remains just as good without it. If you can, try and pick up an early copy of this album which includes a song by the late great Rick James (Can't Stop) which was originally going to be used for the strip bar scene in the movie.

5 out of 5 stars Y'all have all missed the ball.......2004-06-06

I was over 17 when this movie came out. It is one of Eddie Murphy's best. 48- Hours is his best. But this is one of the best soundtracks of the 80's. Don't listen to "I wish I could give 0 out of 5 stars". (...)This album, 'Miami Vice' and 'Top Gun' are the best of the 80's movie music. Though the original release of the soundtrack has a song by Rick James on it, all subsequent releases have not had the song "BHC". Instead the song "Emergency" by Rockie Robbins is on track #4. Which is too bad because the "James" is one of the best. The person who says the Patti LaBelle songs are the worst is also very mistaken.
I have the original with the Rick James song and the 1985 CD release. All the songs are what the Mid - 80's Pop Music was all about. These songd transcended regular soundtrack music and became Top 40 Hits. Also, Glen Frey is also on the 'Miami Vice' T.V. Soundtrack (another Top 40 soundtrack to have).

Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars The album is good.......2006-04-01

The album is pretty good. The main reason I like it is because of the tune "Shakedown" sung by Bob Seger.

The song was given to Glenn Frey formely of the Eagles, (who had a succuessful solo career in the 80's with hits for soundtracks such as "The Heat Is On" and "You Belong To The City") to sing but he came down with laryngitis and Seger recorded the song instead. As well "Shakedown" was Seger's first #1 hit of his career, with his vocals that do the song justice. I cannot picture Eric Clapton singing that song, it would not work.

4 out of 5 stars More diverse mix in BHC 2 soundtrack.......2004-03-16

Whereas the first Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack was a celebration of 80's electropop, the second one shows a split between rock and R&B/pop, with multiple producers. And hey, they had three Top Ten songs, including a #1 and #2. And three of the songs ended up on the artist/group's albums, making this soundtrack a launching pad of sorts.

"Shakedown" was yet another soundtrack song for Bob Seger, and this time, he hit the top, with its infectious backbeat thanks to rapid-fire keyboards and some soulful backing vocals in the chorus. If this sounds like a Billy Idol song, it's because Keith Forsey was one of the producers, the other being Harold Faltermeyer, who did one of the best songs on the first BHC movie and fresh from the Top Gun Theme.

Forsey produces another track here, Charlie Sexton's "In Deep", whose fiery guitar solos and power synths and keyboards might work for Sexton but is something Forsey's star client, Billy Idol wouldn't touch with a barge pole.

Canadian singer Corey Hart has a good turn with the inoffensive 80's pop of "Hold On," with its jingly synths, pulsing rhythm guitar, all produced by Giorgio Moroder.

The only other group from the first movie to do a song here are the Pointer Sisters with "Be There." Despite the brassy horns, rattling drums, and Narada Michael Walden's production, this song is half-hearted, showing the trio's last bit of oomph was 1985's "Dare Me."

George Michael sure picked some way to introduce his second solo hit, his first being "A Different Corner," due to the unnecessary controversy created by the title and the alleged meaning of the song. "I Want Your Sex" made it to #2 despite the brouhaha. Hey, it has a good backbeat, and a real underlying message: "It's natural, it's chemical, it's logical, habitual" And of course it ended up on his Grammy-winning Faith album.

The last couple of songs are firmly in the soul/R&B area. Former Prince guitarist Andre Cymone produced two tracks here. The first is James Ingram's "Better Way" which is typical 80's R&B/soul with some accompanying horns. This song though doesn't do justice to Ingram's voice, as he's done better. The second is Pebbles' funky jam "Love/Hate" which sounds like a refugee from Janet Jackson's Control album. This also landed on Pebbles' self-titled debut.

Yet another song that ended up on the group's album is the Jets' bouncy crossover pop "Cross My Broken Heart" also on the Jets' Magic album. If the beat resembles early Madonna, it's because the song was co-written and co-produced by Stephen Bray, a songwriting collaborator on Like A Virgin.

And then, those guys who imitated Prince with "Oh Sheila"--Ready For The World. This time, they demand "36 Lovers," as extravagant a demand as their synths. The sound's more pedestrian soul-pop.

Sue Ann's "I Can't Stand It" recalls brassy Pointer Sisters fare like "I'm So Excited" and THIS is the kind of stuff the Pointers should've been doing here. Jermaine Jackson's synth-happy "All Revved Up" makes him another Giorgio Moroder client, but Moroder did better for Hart earlier in the album.

Not a bad album in itself, with numbers by Seger, Michael, Hart, Pebbles, and the Jets pulling the weight here.

2 out of 5 stars Reflects the death of the pop music industry post-1986.......2002-11-30

THE BAD:

The original Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack is one of the best OSTs of all time- layered with innovative artists and overall control from film composer Harold Faltermeyer and producing colleague Keith Forsey.

Four songs apart, the same cannot be said for the inferior sequel's album. Unlike BHC, BHC2 is a largely manufactured album and Harold Faltermeyer was only involved with the sig song SHAKEDOWN. Interesting to note that his credit on the film is that of "music score by" as opposed to his BHC credit, "music by". And we don't even hear ANY score music. The manufactured tunes of this album came from the hands of Giorgio Moroder (who Bruckheimer and Simpson worshipped after going soft rock on most of the Top Gun OST songs) and former Prince producer Andre Cymone. But then again, BHC2 was made post Stock Aitken Waterman, so it's unfortunately natural that the OST is out of the hands of the innovative (Forsey, Faltermeyer) and into the hands of the manufactured. It's totally representative of the late 80s Pete Waterman-initiated death of pop music, with plastic teeny bop garbage The Jets, Ready for the world, Corey Hart, Pebbles, and I WANT YOUR SEX, the sadist solo effort from George Michael. The rot had set in.

Also annoying, the sleeve track listing differs from the track arrangements actually on the CD.

THE GOOD:

SHAKEDOWN- AMAZING production, AMAZING sound quality, AMAZING music (much more synthy than the rock-orientated edit heard in the movie), but let down by the misplaced presence of idiosyncratic hick Bob Seger. His contributions, including the lamentable lyric "Shakedown, Shakedown, You're busted!" Original choice Eric Clapton was much needed to respect this Faltermeyer/Forsey classic.

BE THERE- As you may know, the Pointer Sisters contributed the classic NEUTRON DANCE to the original BHC OST, and a nice bit of continuity here as they make an exclusive return to the franchise. Produced by legendary soul producer Narada Michael Walden, who went on to write and produce the last great James Bond title song, Licence to Kill, this isn't a rehash of the success of the Sisters last BHC, this is to NEUTRON DANCE what day is to night. Drum machine driven with more ecstatic saxophone solos and upbeat synth chimes, this track is probably the most all round perfect track on the album.

IN DEEP- Not actually that great a song, and it does have Charlie Sexton- But this is KEITH FORSEY producing, and it shows. One of the only links to the quality of the original BHC OST.

I CAN'T STAND IT- As with SHAKEDOWN, BE THERE and IN DEEP, this song also has direct ties with the original BHC movie OST, and it shows. Producer Howie Rice, who produced NEW ATTITUDE and EMERGENCY for Patti LaBelle and Rockie Robbins respectively on the BHC album, was responsible for this Sue Ann sung song, and as with those other three BHC2 already mentioned, it really sticks out like a sore thumb on this album. It wouldn't be out of place on the original BHC OST.

It's such a shame that those four songs apart, the only good musical contribution to this awful film's soundtrack is Harold Faltermeyer's original score, WHICH HAS NEVER BEEN RELEASED, and probably never will. It's sad that innovation and art plays second fiddle to manufactured, teeny bopper demograph fodder, yet in 1984, it was the other way around.

If you enjoyed the score for BHC 2, I recommend purchasing Harold Faltermeyer's album Harold F, as there lies a the track BAD GUYS, which is the villains theme from the movie, but with vocal lyrics performed by Keith Forsey.

5 out of 5 stars A "sampler" of what made the 80's such fun!.......2002-11-20

Yeah, most of the artists on the disc have long faded into the collective memories of those of us fortunate enough to have "boogied" to their sounds.

But, oh, what a sound they each had.

The Pointer Sisters? Any soundtrack from the decade would be incomplete without them.

Pebbles? Yeah, her "Mercedes" has long run out of gas, but it was a nice drive while it lasted.

Ready for the World? Like its "gheri curls", the group has faded into obscurity but this soundtrack reminds us of how it did shine for a fleeting second.

Bob Seger? "Like a rock", he still can stand solid and "Shakedown" remains one of his best tunes.

And George Michael? Perhaps his "I Want Your Sex" was not politically (or morally) correct, but it was (and is) a good jam to dance to.

5 out of 5 stars SHAKEDOWN, TAKEDOWN YOUR BUSTED!.......2002-05-21

My favorite song off of this cd is "Shakedown".

Amazon.com

Granddaddy of the Hollywood studios, Paramount Pictures is rightfully proud of its century of contributions to both American cinema and the art of film scoring. But the first disc of this 43-track double-CD anthology merely hints at the studio's musical peaks, blithely skipping through its first seven decades in just 17 tracks. Indeed, the package as a whole seems more interested in marketing its post-'70s catalog of hits and blockbusters than it does in paying real homage to history and roots. Even rarities like Double Indemnity and The Lost Weekend are served up via modern budget-line rerecordings, as is Ennio Morricone's epochal Once upon a Time in the West). Contemporary recordings of Aaron Copland's rare score to The Heiress and Franz Waxman's great Sunset Blvd. fare better, but soundtrack fans may miss the originals. The studio's rich pop-crossover successes in the '60s are documented via Breakfast at Tiffany's "Moon River" and excerpts from Romeo and Juliet and Love Story, while successful franchises like Star Trek and Raiders also get their due. Too often the '90s-focused second disc only underscores some uncomfortable trends in contemporary scoring--orchestral nervous tics punctuated by booming crescendos, treacly piano Muzak--and makes one wonder if the music of The Rugrats Movie and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider are really film music milestones. --Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars Great Movies have Great Soundtracks!.......2007-05-10

If you love movies and movie music, you can't go wrong with this two cd Paramount Anniversary set.

2 out of 5 stars Only Disc 1 Is Worth Anything.......2006-07-19

Normally I have a lot to say in my reviews, but not this time. The main problem with this collection is that all the most memorable film scores are just on one disc, with the second used mostly to play out stuff from the last ten years that, really, musically isn't very memorable and only includes three pieces anyone will recognize just because, like the movies they come from, they're based on old TV shows - The Addams Family, Star Trek, and Mission: Impossible.

And that brings up another problem. With all due respect to the late Jerry Goldsmith, who has provided some truly great classic movie scores, was it REALLY necessary to include TWO versions of the SAME Star Trek march in this collection? This seems evocative of the milk-it-for-all-its-worth attitude Paramount has had lately toward its now-tarnished crown-jewel franchise. Where's James Horner's theme music from Star Trek II and III? If they're gonna put Star Trek on here twice, they should have provided a little diversity. It wouldn't have taken much, I'm sure.

I'm sure that Paramount's had other films with far more memorable music (even Harold Faltermeyer's Top Gun Anthem could have helped on Disc 2). This just seems like a lazy attempt at something that really could have been great.

2 out of 5 stars More of a propaganda CD.......2002-10-30

There are some really great songs on this 2 CD set. However, those really great songs seem to be lightly interspersed amongst a large number of forgettable songs whose main purpose seems to be to remind you of those movies you enjoy(ed) so much.

It seems a little odd to me that out of 90 years of film making the most memorable scores have been largely released within the last few years. I was pleased to find themes from the Godfather, Indiana Jones and Witness. I was perplexed with the inclusion of songs from Rugrats, both Mission Impossible movies (one would have been more than enough) and Tomb Raider (memorable???).

This is my own personal bias, but I do prefer movie soundtracks that evoke a feeling of excitement. With this collection I just couldn't get excited. I kept finding myself being let down by songs that didn't in some way complement the preceeding song.

There are certainly some great tracks here, but overall I was disappointed. My advise would be to look elsewhere.

4 out of 5 stars Great selection of Film Hits!.......2002-09-25

This one was a pleasant surprise! I thought- how could any CD that had "Baby Elephant Walk" be all that good? This one is. Lots of great scores- classics and a few hidden treasures. After hearing the beautiful title score for "Children of a Lesser God", I had to buy the entire soundtrack - very soothing. There are a few that may seem too overplayed ("Love Story", "Raiders of the Lost Ark",), but most are a welcome addition to any compilation. Try NOT loving "Building the Barn" from "Witness" or the "Hymn to the Fallen" from "Saving Private Ryan". Hours of great listening.

2 out of 5 stars Older recordings, main themes only.......2002-08-27

This is a great album concept, but I really wish Paramount had re-recorded these scores as they deserve to be heard. The tracks range from 1944 to the present, and the older recordings sound just like the cleaned-up older recordings that they are.

I would also personally have enjoyed more "secondary" music themes (otherwise it becomes like reading book summaries that always only quote the opening paragraph), and I could easily have done without the "pop" tunes (like Baby Elephant Walk and the Rugrats theme). In fact, it would have been very nice to listen to an album comprised of tracks chosen for their strong musical value rather than apparently for their box office and/or hit song popularity. But, to be fair, that may be precisely what draws some people to this CD set.

Film score music constitutes the single most significant body of classical music of our time. I hope some of these tracks will entice listeners to buy entire soundtracks and listen to some of these works as a whole.

90210 rocked my world as a kid and still does. The soundtrack is cheezy 80's music but come on.....who doesn't want still love all the drama of Brenda and Dylan?

5 out of 5 stars Buy this for the theme song........2005-12-20

I bought this soundtrack and set it as my alarm clock. So every morning when I wake up at 7:15 a.m. I hear " duh nuh nuh nuh, duh nuh nuh nuh!!! CLAP!! CLAP!!" and then I do a ninja flip out of the bed into my slippers and pick up my autographed red and yellow hulk hogan guitar (custom made) and bust into a 3 minute long solo. It's become such a spectacle in my neighborhood that the children at the school bus gather around my front lawn and look into my window to witness such a display musicianship. When I'm done I yell at them to get off my lawn or I'll run them over with my 88 Le Sabre, life is sweet.

4 out of 5 stars Very good album of glossy, slick pop.......2005-09-26

This was a very thought out soundtrack of pop songs with a slickness to them. Standouts were Paula Abdul, Color Me Badd, Jody Watley, Tara Kemp, Shanice's best singing in Saving Forever For You and others. But I liked Jeremy Jordan's The Right Kind of Love and Geoffrey Williams' adventurous Let Me Be Your Baby with its out of nowhere kind of sound. What really made the soundtrack stand out was the wonderful Vanessa Williams/Brian McKnight duet, Love Is. Perfect matchup that boosted both singers' music careers incredibly and gave them more solo hits on their own. I still hear that song a good 13 years later on some radio stations--people still love it. This soundtrack set the tone for more kinds of pop oriented soundtracks in the '90s with the biggest names on the planet on one collection. These days, the NOW series does this method. But this is fun, escapism pop to promote a very popular TV show on Fox, when Jason Priestley's green eyes swooned female viewers.

2 out of 5 stars Disappointed in this..........2004-12-11

Oh sure, there's some good stuff on here, but I bought this hoping there'd be songs performed by Jason Priestly, Tori Spelling, Luke Perry and the others. Are there any songs on here by them? Noooooooo!

I once heard that Ian Ziering can sing a mean version of You Light Up My Life. Why couldn't THAT have been included on this???

I don't know what these record company people were thinking. Sure, it's hard to not like an album with songs by Color Me Bad and Chaka Kahn, but this could have been soooooo much better.

5 out of 5 stars nostalgia - 90s pop music at its best.......2000-09-17

i dont know if its because this album reminds me about a lot of good times but its just an overall great soundtrack. many of the songs hav a great beat and the album itself as a whole is original and colorful. from time to time i listen to the entire cd from paula abdul to the 90210 theme song. i personally think its a model of the early 90s pop music at its best. i will also add that if u were a 90210 fan u will definitely not regret buying the album.

2 out of 5 stars Quantity Over Quality.......2007-01-15

As a musician myself, I know too well that one of the most important ingredients in ANY performance (live or recorded) is passion. The recordings here generally lack the same passion and sheer drama of the originals. Much of the instrumentation has been reduced to a cheezy, thin, plastic synthesized replica. The performances are simply a watered-down lackluster version of the classic originals. If it were not for the sheer volume of tracks compiled here, I would have rated the comp only "one star".

3 out of 5 stars Mediocre.......2006-05-17

The sound quality for this collection isn't much better than the samples offered by Amazon.

4 out of 5 stars One Hundred Greatest TV Themes.......2005-08-06

I have watched almost all the shows that are on these 4 cd's. Many were made before I started watching TV. Most I've seen once or twice before.

4 out of 5 stars Pretty close to original recordings.......2005-07-24

Definitely not as good as the originals. You'll probably notice the slight differences since it's stuff you saw and listened to every week or everyday in reruns growing up, but it's still an amazing collection.

5 out of 5 stars Really Good Collection.......2004-07-11

I bought this in part because it had soundtracks to tv shows that are unavailable. My husband and I watch aome British programming. Many of the theme songs are for what seems like obscure British shows. That said; it has been enjoyable to hear music that I would normally never hear. Some music does sound tinny; some are very very rich, and some music is derived from actual preformances from the original artists. I think this is worth buying because is has a wonderful blend of music. The pieces are full soundtracks so they includes the parts of the theme song which are often edited out. I think the orchestra's who preformed the music did a great job. I have MonsterMania which redoes the soundtracks to the Godzilla movies. The interpretation is less heavy and stark than the preformance we associate with the original soundtrack; but I regard it as a new way to appreciate the music and all the componets which make the song unique.

4 out of 5 stars An entertaining soundtrack.......2002-08-18

This is a well-compiled CD. Over half of the songs are enjoyable ("Tarzan Boy", "Kung Fu Fighting", and "Low Rider", to name just a few)...and the dialogue melds well with the songs.

5 out of 5 stars Beverly Hills Ninja Soundtrack.......1999-07-08

This is an awesome soundtrack!! With hits like "I'm Too Sexy" and "Turning Japanese" by the greatest 90's rock band The Hazies, anyone would enjoy this CD! It is full of great songs and it is a lot of fun with the dialogue parts from the movie! Everyone should pick up this soundtrack if not for The Hazies being on there alone!!

5 out of 5 stars TERRIFIC CAMPY SOUNDTRACK!.......1999-06-01

This soundtrack has it all. Turning Japanese, Too Sexy, and the indesposable, impossible to find Tarzan Boy. Add to this mix weird little sound bytes and you have a great CD!

5 out of 5 stars ANDY SUMMERS Is Worth the Money.......2005-05-26

The Andy Summers tracks on side 2 (6-12) are worth purchasing this CD. Though they are mostly 5 versions of the same melody, I could listen to them over and over all day. There is also his version of Mission Blues, which is fantastic as well. If you like Mr. Summers' music, this is a must have.

The first five songs aren't bad, but not worth $10.

4 out of 5 stars A great idea, but incomplete.......2000-10-26

Erich Kunzel plays the Bond themes? What a great idea! In addition, there are a few more selections in the same vein, like the cops-n-robbers TV medley, music from The Untouchables, Lethal Weapon, Beverly Hills Cop, etc.

Sometimes, you want to listen to the 007 music in instrumental only, and Kunzel and the Cincinatti Pops do a good job with the arrangements. But where are the rest of the songs? Missing are three of my all-time favorites, You Only Live Twice, Diamonds Are Forever, and Moonraker. I think the album would be better with 'more Bond, less other.' We certainly don't need TWO selections from Dick Tracy. And the theme from Darkman is stylistically quite similar to Dick Tracy; nothing is gained by playing both. Don't get me wrong; I like Danny Elfman (check out his "Beetlejuice" theme on Kunzel's 'Great Fantasy Adventure Album'). I just wanted to hear all my fave Bond pieces on the one CD.

Still, it's a keeper.

3 out of 5 stars Inxs - Keep The Peace - Keeps This Album From Being Bad!.......2005-12-10

Okay..so in this day and age if you buy a CD and have more then one good song on it, it is considered luck. Most soundtracks either contain BIG hits or just random songs. I think this soundtrack went for the latter. Did it work? Well they got some "interesting" songs.

I must give credit where credit is due. Hello Inxs. Their song "Keep The Peace" is not only a great song, it is one of the best Inxs songs I've ever heard. (And I keep up with them up till Michael Hutchence's death. JD from RockStar: Inxs isn't bad but he will never fill Hutch's shoes.) Anyways..this songs features Michael Hutchence's GREAT voice and killer style..This song makes this album a must for any real Inxs fan.

So beyond a great Inxs song, what does this soundtrack offer? Well It has the song "Right Thing, Wrong Way" which has very childish sounding background music. And the lyrics sound kind of silly..but it works. While the song is kind of predicatable, it works. It is a nice song.

Also the songs "The Place Where You Belong" and "Summer Jamming" have a very good summer vibe to them. Both could be played in the summer and would be fitting. It ties into the movie also - given the location. Beyond on that, the Diana Ross tune is worth mention.

Okay I think I just about covered it..oh yeah and it has that well known 'dodododododododod" Beverly Hills Cop theme music. This time it got changed up a bit by Niles Rodgers and Richard Hilton. And it was for the best! This newer sounding mix of the song - works VERY well. It sounds VERY hip. I can just hear Eddie Murphy's trademark laugh.

If only Beverly Hills Cop 4 would start production. Oh well, I suppose this music can hold me over till then.

2 out of 5 stars Dull and boring........2002-11-27

This soundtrack isn't really up to much at all I'm afraid. The are only 10 tracks and most them are tedious songs that no one cares about. A real disappointment, much like the film.

The depth and reason behind much of the songs chosen for the film are very uninspired. It could have been a lot better, especially when you consider how well the album to the first movie sold. Tho this time the movie didn't have the expertise and scutiny of Jerry Bruckheimer and Don Simpson. The result is a flat and uninteresting soundtrack CD.

Nile Rogers even replaced the now MIA Harold Faltermeyer. His music in the movie was of a completely tone but it is still better than anything this CD has to offer. The Axel F tune is the only worthy track left. But EVERYBODY knows how it goes by now so it's hardly worth shelling out the money for.
