Director David Lynch's affection for kitschy lounge music and emotionally overwrought mid-century pop has long since proven to be more than trend or irony; indeed, it's often the uneasy spiritual axis of his films. The soundtrack of Mulholland Dr. turns on the usual Lynchian motifs (the brooding atmosphere of Angelo Badalamenti's ominous synth-and-orchestra cues tossed with a dash of Lynch's own off-center compositions), yet manages to evoke a sense of foreboding that's distinctly its own. Badalamenti leads off with a curve, the nervous orchestra swing-romp "Jitterbug," before descending into a dark soundscape that becomes murkier and more avant-goth at every turn. Bubbling through that morass are pop nuggets variously cheesy (Dave Cavanaugh's lounge-ready "The Beast"), lugubriously bluesy (Sonny Boy Williamson's take on Willie Dixon's "Bring It On Home"), and alternately innocent ("I've Told Every Little Star") and liturgical ("Llorando"). Three tracks of the director's own (cowritten with John Neff) skulking Lounge Music from Hell ratchet up the tension even further; it's the perfect garnish for this darkly delicious film-music cocktail. --Jerry McCulley

In this dream, you are Betty Elms.......2007-01-13

The reviews here simply don't do justice to the soundtrack. It's very hypnotizing and elevates you to this reality that you indeed have the same mental energy displayed by the first character of Betty Elms, who Diane Selwyn identifies with as herself in a dream she is having. The dark scenery conveyed by this music puts you in her place, where through darkness you hold to your innocence. The movie and music interplay in this way to the effect of putting you in that darkness where you are the same girl that Diane is seeing in her dream, the girl she knows herself to be without the hellish reality she is in as a sort of resolve to the hell she's in. This Naomi Watts specifically conveyed what I thought is a part of me that may also be a part of you, and you will notice it in the way you look at things and how your face expresses your innocence to a dark world. Then there is the music for Rita. I also reviewed the movie, which I also recommend. My favorite track is the 9th one in this respect. Secondly, which you may find suitable for your funeral, is the last song. The rest I almost prefer watching the movie and appreciating it all while viewing, but it's music you must have after you've seen it.

Badalamenti does it again........2006-11-17

If you're a fan of Angelo Badalamenti's scores for David Lynch, you'll want to add this to your collection as well. Haunting synth pieces lull you into the dreamlike world Lynch created with this film, and there are some other types of music to jazz it up a little. Particularly striking is Rebekah Del Rio's cover of Roy Orbison's "Crying."

Take a drive through David Lynch's musical hell and deluding darkness..........2006-06-26

To start of, I regard "Mulholland Dr." as David Lynch magnum opus, his most masterfully created cinema of deceit, lust and darkness. Compelling, totally deranged, original, sometimes hilarious funny, and three minutes later scary as hell.

David Lynch's movies are always heavy set on atmosphere, and this is partly caused by the director's long time musical collaborator Angelo Badalamenti. From the jazzy, loungy tunes for the t.v. series "Twin Peaks" to the dark overtones of "Blue Velvet", Badalamenti knows wich buttons to push to make an eerie composition, a few notes of estrangeness and give the audience an unsetteling feeling.

"Mulholland Dr." is filled with music. Most of it is purely on the soundrack with Badalamenti's score coming very close to high quality dark ambient acts like Lustmord, Raison d'Etre or Hazard, others are sung "live" in the movie, like Linda Scott's sweet bubblegumish "I've told every little star", two very hip tunes ("The beast" by Milt Buckner and Sonny Boy Williamson's "Bring it on home") and of course Rebekah Del Rio's acapella performance of "llorando", the Spanish version of Roy Orbison's evergreen.

But the greatest surprise to me were three tracks by David Lynch himself in collaboration with one John Neff. And these three pieces are to be find on a solo cd by David Lynch called "Blue Bob".
I never knew before seeing "Mulholland Dr." that David Lynch is also a guiter player and singer. Now I know and I must say that his song "Mountains falling" is the most brooding, creeping, swirling and erotic sounding piece of electric guitar music I have ever heard.

So play this album and hit the road, Jack. And pray that indeed you will come back...

dark and (often) beautiful.......2005-11-25

anyone who has seen mulholland drive knows that the soundtrack lent a very important hand to the overall vibe of the movie. so you would think that it would be hard to enjoy one without the other, but this soundtrack suceeds very well on its own. alot of film scores are fine and enhance the movie while yr watching it, but are trash when taken alone and this sndtrk is kind of above that. i'm not really big on any of the lynch/neff tracks, but they work fine in the movie. the other songs that weren't written by badalamenti are pretty good and are a nice change of pace. my favorite tracks are dwarfland/love theme (especially the latter half), mulholland drive/love theme, llorando, and diane and camilla. i dont believe that diane and camilla was in the movie, but its a very beautiful piece that i think sums up the diane/camilla relationship quite well. anyway, i really like this cd and anyone who enjoyed the film would do well to pick this up

A dark journey through the sphere of horror........2005-10-26

It may not be a horror movie, but the score for Mulholland Drive could be a journey through the ultimate graveyard or haunted house on a stormy Halloween night. I have never even seen the movie, though I love David Lynch's movies for the most part. This score is a dark and haunting musical journey that might work well for a score to a creepy vampire movie or something. Some of it, including the heavy jazzy and dark rock pieces, might be better suited for a suspense thriller, which it is. But the more ambient dark themes could work in any supernatural thriller much as Mark Snow's music could. Enjoy the tour! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Irving Berlin's Wild West Show-themed romp Annie Get Your Gun has long been a Broadway evergreen, including a wildly successful modern revival starring Bernadette Peters and Tom Wopat. But its original 1950 MGM film translation was fraught with production problems and recasting; Judy Garland was initially signed to star and even recorded her vocal numbers before being dismissed (due largely to her notorious personal problems) and replaced by Betty Hutton. While several of Garland's performances as Annie Oakley have been released on other compilations, this generous, 31-cut release not only marks the CD debut of the film's original soundtrack (originally just eight tracks), it compiles all of the various Garland versions (including the first release of a spectacular stereo Garland version of "There's No Business Like Show Business") onto its second half, essentially re-creating the "Annie that never was," in addition to the first complete release of the Hutton score. Also included is a superbly illustrated and well-annotated booklet that tells the complete story of the show's Broadway origins and rocky journey to Hollywood. --Jerry McCulley

A great buy!.......2006-07-08

This CD is well worth the money. If you loved the movie and want to relive the thrill and energy of the production while driving or around the house - get this CD you won't be sorry. I want to point out that some other reviews said Betty Hutton was not as good as Judy Garland. Not true. Betty's ability to sing in the accent she spoke in brought the character and performace to life. Judy's great but not great at everything.

The two Annies.......2006-03-13

I was very pleased with this CD because it not only had the original movie musical soundtrack, but also included the versoin with Judy Garland that was scrapped when she was replaced by Betty Hutton.

Buy it for the movie it could of been.......2005-03-13

I bought this especially for the "missing " Garland soundtracks. And yes , anything Hutton sang, Judy sang better. It goes to prove that as a singer, Betty was a struggling artisan, croaking out the words badly at times. Whereas,when Judy the artist sings, you can feel every emotion and nuance that you would expect from a great artist.

Even though the movie version with Hutton isn't the greatest, it's still worthy of getting for your collection. Hutton's version adds a bit of zaniness to the character that neither Judy, or Ethel would want to attempt. With Garland the movie would have been entirely different, and knowing Judy's ability to rise to the occassion, it probably would have been better. After all,there is a reason why she has been known as the "world's greatest entertainer". Even in her outtakes that were supposed to be "so horrible", she seemed to have that performers ability to entertain. (I felt her outtakes were better than Hutton's finished performances.)

That being said, this soundtrack gives you an idea of what a Garland Annie could have been like. Its kind of fun to compare and contrast. Hutton did give her Annie a slapstick, comedic take that makes it fun to watch, and she did give it her all. Its amazing to hear the Garland naysayers, though. For one, Judy was always beautiful as an artist and as a person. Secondly, everyone has a favorite Judy Garland movie whether it be Oz, or Meet me in st louis, or Girl Crazy, or A Star is Born. Each of her characters were different and her co-stars and chemistry were different,yet each perfomance was done beautifully. I have to give the little lady the benefit of the doubt. I think Judy Garland would have been a terrific Annie Oakley.

I love this CD.......2004-04-05

I was a little nervous ordering this CD because I thought it would be poor quality based on the reviews. I was very pleasantly surprised and enjoy the music. The CD includes Both Betty Hutton and Judy Garland. ( I prefer Betty Hutton) and 2x Howard Keel. If you like the music from Annie get your gun, you will enjoy!

Betty Get Your Gun.......2003-11-23

The only reason I'm giving this CD 5 stars is because of Betty Hutton....Judy Garland can sing and is an amazing actress, lets not overlook that, but she brought nothing to Annie Oakley. She didn't have an accent in any of the few outtakes they have of her, she shows no enthusiasum, and Betty Hutton just outmatches her beyond imagination. If you like the Judy Garland outtakes I'm holding nothing against you, I just don't think she did anything good for the role.

Customer Reviews:

Based on a great book so the music makes sense.......2006-01-17

My appreciation for EVEN COWGIRLS GET THE BLUES is based mainly on the novel by Tom Robbins. The first song, `Just Keep Me Moving' is based on the theme of hitchhiking. Sissy Hankshaw, played by Uma Thurman in the movie with extended thumbs, is a champion hitchhiker. "Moving" and "freedom" form the theme and the feeling of the music. It was easy to be a fan of the book, and the CD might be easier to appreciate if it included the words of the songs instead of its brief description of events at the Countess's Rubber Rose Ranch without mentioning the whooping cranes who fail to finish their migration after the cowgirls hook them on psychedelics. The movie was a failure because the attempt to build creative tension for a climax based on a shootout between cowgirls and federal agents did not live up to the low standards of credibility usually expected for a Hollywood western. But allowing a romantic team like k.d. lang and Ben Mink to compose the music for the film was brilliant.

The CD gets to track 8, `Lifted By Love,' before the line "I long to be lifted" combines all the "lifted high, carried by ..." images of the film into a musical statement. Then track 9 is an `Overture.' Violin coming out of nowhere leads into orchestration of all the themes used in previous track titles like `Myth,' `Apogee,' (only 37 seconds) and `Virtual Vortex' (44 seconds). Then a minute waltz precedes track eleven, "In Perfect Dreams."

In perfect dreams, you can fly, it seems.

Next, `Curious Soul Astray' pictures life as a child would, wanting it all.

Loving and laughing and longing to fall
A curious soul astray.

I ran for the wisdom and glory
Away, away, I ran

`Ride of Bonanza Jellybean' is a bit rocky. It stops, starts again, but no words. `Don't Be A Lemming Polka' sounds like a barn dance.

I'm gonna run high as can be
I looked behind to see them following me

Lemmings, head for the cliff
Round 'em up.

Banjo dominates `Cowgirl Pride' at the end of the CD. I personally believe that this CD shows how well musicians can do when they have a particular story to tell, and these tunes are much more to my liking than the introspective set of songs lang and Mink wrote for `Ingénue' in 1992. I wouldn't even know what to say about `all you can eat' from 1995, which I have not listened to in 2006.

ONE GOOD SONG! ONE STAR EARNED!.......2004-11-27

Quite frankly, in my opinion, there is only one good song in
this album, and actually the only song I was interested in to
begin with when I purchased this CD.The song is: "Hush My Baby"
The rest of the CD is boring!

Surprise.......2002-08-19

My socially instilled biases kept me from ever giving K.D. Lang's music a listen. Then I watched the video; Who wrote that music?! Who sang that music?! It was K.D. Lang. Now I understand. She wrote some incredibly beautiful music for this movie. The quality of the album is consistent from track to track. It's a clear 5 stars. I can't really understand anyone giving it less.

I love it.......2002-04-09

I pull this out every year or so and give it a good play. Her voice is as beautiful as ever but the soundtrack has the added attraction of variety. I just feel like I'm riding over the plains on horseback through the whole thing. Very relaxing and beautiful. I think if you like kd lang at all, you will appreciate this very much.

Her best ballad ever. And a few other good tunes........2001-12-04

"Hush Sweet Lover" is k.d. lang at her seductive, sultry best. If the song didn't even had words, you could still feel her vulnerability. But alas, it does, which makes it all the sweeter. Another gem would be the opening track, which is just a fun way to get the whole thing started. Within the rest of it, there are moments ("Lifted By Love" and "In Perfect Dreams"), but bear in mind this is a soundtrack CD, so not every song is meant to leave you in mesmerized a la "Get Some", "Constant Craving" or "Trail of Broken Hearts."

Great jazz!.......2002-01-24

This CD would be great even if it wasn't the soundtrack to a wonderfully fun movie. The jazz is light enough to be enjoyed by most.

Hits the spot every time.......2002-01-20

Movie soundtracks tend to be in one of two categories: the made-for-movie kind and the collection-of-tunes-that-fit-the-movie-and-mood kind. This soundtrack has a little of both. John Lurie, who can be heard in movies like Manny & Lo, African Swim, and Fishing With John, provides the made-for-movie part, an upbeat, tambourine-shaking bunch of tunes with squeaky saxes and funky bass lines. The true funk, however, comes from Medeski, Martin, & Wood's "Chubb Sub" a strong bass/drum/organ jam that'll knock you off your feat (or onto your feat if you were sitting down.) The flow of this album may be one of its greatest features. "Green Onions" might go back to the early sixties, and "Panacea" might have been recorded yesterday, but there is still a unique continuity that this music maintains. It's a groovy jazz, blues mix that has a funky result that you can really tap your foot to.

The soundtrack is not flawless, though. Its 17 tracks might be deceiving as it only runs about one hour. That means some tracks are just over 1 minute long . . . but I guess that comes with the made-for-movie part. The song "Stink" also appears twice. The short version is really just the long version with a fadeout. Also, the Morphine track "I Had My Chance" isn't a bad song by itself, but what is it doing on this album? It's the only track that has a singing. And since it's slower than the rest, and even a different style, it tends to stand out. And if my memory's correct it's heard for exactly 2.4 seconds during the film . . . but that's true with all of them I guess.

Despite some minor glitches, the soundtrack really works. Its got a lot of class and really fits the movie. Also, it doesn't have any silly talking or sound clips from the film (if you want conversations watch the movie, if you want music buy the soundtrack.) Aside from the ones mentioned above, other tunes that stand out are "Nose Punch" and "Chili at Airport (part II)".

Better if you don't quite remember the movie..........2002-01-09

It's hard to believe that this movie came out in 1995. It's also hard to believe that I've only lsitened to this soundtrack once since I bought it back then. This explains the low rating -- it seemed too easy to put away. Perhaps this is a function of my being unable to separate the film from the soundtrack Both were quite good, but the album is better enjoyed on its own, if you ask me. However, I recently purchased the new album by "Action Figure Party" and they sounded similar enough to make me listen to Get Shorty again. I can cay that if you like either one, you should own both.

A Cool CD........2001-01-16

The music in this CD is sooooo cool. It will make you wanna go cruisin' at night or go out with friends in cool threads. Although this CD is certainly not for everyday use (due to its "unique" (for a lack of a better term) sound), it is certainly one for keeps.

very good.......2000-07-19

A Near-Classic.......2007-06-13

While "There's No Business Like Show Business" is not one of Hollywood's top musicals it's still worth watching. The story is simple and entertaining. Ethel Merman, Donald O'Connor, Dan Dailey and Mitzi Gaynor are, as usual, entertaining and fun. Though Johnnie Ray tries very hard he shows that he is a singer rather than an actor. Marilyn Monroe is, at best, adequate. While she has never been one of my favorite performers she usually does a better job than she does in his movie.

Superior in all ways........2007-04-11

They certainly don't make 'em like them used to, and this film is a fine example. Excellent songs, actors, story line, costumes, etc. Superb all the way.

The real star of this film!.......2006-09-05

This is a great movie with Marilyn Monroe and Ethel Merman.
However the real star of this movie is the vivacious Mitzi Gaynor! She steals every scene she is in. She is beautiful, talented, and hard to take your eyes off of!
I recommend this movie ! I also recommend " Anything Goes"
with Mitzi Gaynor. It has just been restored and the look of it is probably the best color of any DVD I own.

ONE OF THE VERY BEST MUSICALS EVER.......2006-05-29

it surpasses many an MGM extravagansa..... I`ve been thinking.... "What and WHO does this film miss? Judy? NO! I`m mad for Judy and will always be a fighter for her and Liza.... but THIS one may be the very best musical I`ve ever seen... If I ever produced or directed a film - this would be it.....

The musical score is out of this world as are the performances, set designs, choreography, costumes and art direction...

It`s a very CinemScoped film aaaaaaaaaaaaaand for the better of it:-)))))))

Marilyn deserved a better script. Her musical numbers are a joy to watch........2005-12-15

Why did Marilyn accept such a limited role as Vicky after she was a full star in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) is hard to
explain.
Yet there are things in this movie that has caught my attention.
As soon as Marilyn appears as the Hat check girl named Vicky, she mentiones that she has just finished acting in the CHERRY
ORCHARD, a Chekov play. This movie was filmed 2 years before she
joined the Actor Studio. But at this time, she was receiving
acting lessons from Michael Chekhov, nephew of Anton Chekov the
Russian playwright who wrote the Cherry Orchard. One gets the
feeling that this dialogue in the film was ¨suggested¨by Marilyn
herself. It shows the intellectual side of Marilyn.
Her comic ability does not get many scenes. There's is a comic
scene in which she plays with the pronunciation of the word
AFTER, right before she sings her sing AFTER YOU GET WHAT YOU WANT YOU DON'T WANT IT.
Her best number is HEAT WAVE. Even today it does not look dated.
Her other number LAZY is ok, where she shares the number with
Mitzy Gaynor and Dan Dailey. I felt a more glamorous number
could have been selected here.
¨You'd be surprised¨¨ was a number deleted from the film, but it is found in many Marilyn Monroe CDs .¨In Donald O'Connor's song
A MAN CHASES A GIRL Marilyn provides a background voice. This
song was later recorded by Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds and

Marilyn deserved a more comic role in this film. Walter Lang did
not know how to make good use of Marilyn's humorous ability. In
her next film, the SEVEN YEAR ITCH, Billy Wilder got a tremendous performance out of Marilyn.

Smash Mouth make no apologies for keeping the party going on their fourth album. There they again turn out a lighthearted mix of surf music, reggae lite, and beach anthems, even going so far as to graft a snippet of the Beach Boy's "Good Vibrations" onto "Hot" just to make sure we don't miss the point that they are the preeminent summer band of their time. But they're at their best when they're anthropomorphizing their cars ("Hot") or singing the praises of driving in the fast lane, ("105") as they turn up the heat on the subversive-sounding Farfisa organ, conjuring up the greasy spirit of ? & the Mysterians. They're less appealing when they're reminiscing about the awkwardness of a school dance on "Seventh Grade Dance" or extolling mall culture. --Jaan Uhelszki

vintage smash mouth.......2007-02-17

I've always loved Smash Mouth, and this album is no exception. Their music doesn't sound like much else in my music library, but I like that. Smash Mouth is what I pop in when I want to listen to fun, catchy tunes that don't take themselves too seriously. Smash Mouth has definitely perfected the fun-in-the-sun, beach-rock music. I like Get The Picture even more than any of their other albums. It just seems more polished and energetic than a lot of their other stuff. Don't get me wrong; I love all their albums, but everybody has a favorite, right? This is it for me. Another reason I love this album so much is that my 7-year old daughter loves it, too. It's music we can listen to together. She asks me to play it all the time. She knows the words to the opening track, 'Hang On', by heart, and I get a kick out of hearing her sing it. In fact, she loves the album so much that I got her her own copy to listen to whenever she wants. In short, this is a fun album by a fun band who make no apologies for their style of music. Kudos to Smash Mouth and here's wishing them much success and longevity.

The Good Old Days.......2006-02-14

Smashmouth was once my all time favorite band. Then around a couple years ago I was introduced to a certain band called Led Zeppelin by my dad, and I quickly became more interested in classic rock, and eventually heavy metal and alternative rock, and pretty much stopped listening to Smashmouth all together. Recently I was going through a bunch of my old CD's (Good Charlotte, Nickeback, Sugar Ray, UGH) and I managed to dig up this album. And I decided "you know what, maybe I'll keep this". So I listend to it.

Yes, although I didn't realize this until recently, the music is kinda mediocre, the songwriting is on the level with something any 8 year old could write about summer and stuff, yet, the album just makes you feel really good, it's almost like the fact that the songwriting is mediocre doesn't mean anything, now for me, this album is particuarly special...

When I bought this album, I was at the all time height of my happiness. I was 12, or maybe I was 11, doesn't matter, I was at that age were everything is set in stone and seems right before everything starts to got down during your teen years. That summer I went to Orlando, Florida for the first time ever and stayed in a buetiful hotel called the Gaylord Palms (yes, the name is weird), everything there was sunny and Florida-ish, just like the whole trip was. I had bought the album like a week earlier, and I absolutly loved it at the time, so naturally I bought my walkman with me to Florida, and whenever I got a minute to myself I listend to it, the music would fit in with my enviornment perfectly, so sunny, so innocent...

Now that I am at the point where I have gone as far as begging to listen to old school Death Metal, Smash Mouth's 'Get the Picture' album provides an alternative to the mostly darker music I prefer to listen to these days. They just bring back good memories. That's all I have to say, it may be mediocre, but it's good enough for me, and I'm glad I rediscovered this band and this album.

The Good-Yet-Maybe-Too-Slow Cd.......2004-12-27

I don't regret buying this cd, yet I wish the overall tempo was a bit faster. The first track "Hang On" is, in my opinion, the best song I have ever heard in my life. Yet being the first song, it served to set my expectations a tinsy bit high for the rest of the album. The semi-sluggish songs like Looking for a Wall, 7th Grade Dance and especially Space Man slow down the cd's momentum. This album doesn't produce that same energy-boost that I still get from listening to Astro Lounge. Nevertheless, the rest of the cd is great; worthy of the SmashMouth name. Track one, Hang On, rocks!

okay cd.......2004-12-06

still very godd

you should still buy this

I think I got the CLOUDED picture.......2004-07-29

It seems like I'm always the person writing the first three-star review for an album. But anyway, I was surprised to come across this Smash Mouth album from last year, because I didn't even know it existed. I listened to the album, and it turned out to be one of those albums that you start out listening to and then eventually get caught up doing something else.

I'm not necessarily saying Get the Picture is bad, but it's just not that interesting. For one thing, there definitely aren't any standout songs to the likes of "All Star", "Then the Morning Comes", "Walkin' On the Sun", or even "Can't Get Enough of You Baby". And another problem is that a lot of the songs on here sound too much alike, almost as if the only difference between the songs is the lyrics. This is especially evidenced by the unnecessary remix of the Neil Diamond-penned "You Are My Number One", which doesn't sound any different from the original version.

There are also a couple of lyrical missteps to be found ("Hot" is the opposite of that). This album is really for diehard Smash Mouth fans only, so if you're not one, you might want to pass this one by.

not inspired.......2005-12-16

Though the Pretty Things' second album at least equals their first in its music-quality, it lacks its fire. And unfortunately the Things' uncompromising style needs such a fire to sound well.

This lack of inspiration may be due to the times changing. In the second half of 1965 trends in popmusic definitely turned soft and more melodious. In other words, turned contrary to everything the Pretty Things stand for.

In hindsight it's quite clear the band could not cope with this new development. So I guess issuing 'Get the picture?' mainly must have been due to their contractual obligations.

Bad Boys Make Good.......2004-10-08

The good cop/bad cop image that the Beatles and the Rolling Stones had in the 1960s may have been a tad contrived. The Beatles weren't the clean cut lads they might have seemed and the Stones certainly played up to the Bad Boys Of Pop reputation they had that oiled the publicity machine so well. They had risen from a pool of bands playing blues and Bo Diddley covers, bands like the Downliners Sect, the Cops 'n' Robbers, the Bo Street Runners and the Pretty Things.

When it came to bad publicity, the Pretty Things had it in spades, and were rarely out of the headlines for their rock 'n' roll crimes. They were badder than the others and their music was rawer, wilder, bluesier and more crudely recorded. Most of them shared a house and lived the rock lifestyle of excess to the full.

Their second album, Get The Picture?, came out only a few months after their self-titled debut, and showed a laudable unwillingness to compromise, though it also showed they had not stood still musically in the intervening months of grueling round-world touring (they seemed to have left the drummer behind in New Zealand) as there was now a light and shade to the group sound and signs of experimentation.

It also featured more of their own material, which included not only ravers like Buzz The Jerk, but also lighter folk-influenced songs like London Town and the excellent Can't Stand The Pain, on which Dick Taylor's guitar stands out. The covers include a great rough and ready rendition of Slim Harpo's Rainin' In My Heart, Ray Charles' version of I Had A Dream and the Cops 'n' Robbers' own But You'll Never Do It Babe. Their hit version of Cry To Me, written by Bert Berns for Betty Harris but best known at the time in Solomon Burke's cover is also featured. The Stones had recorded the song around the same time for Out Of Our Heads, so a direct comparison can be made.

This reissue has been given the re-master treatment, and now includes all the extra tracks added to the contemporary EPs Rainin' In My Heart and The Pretty Things On Film, plus the raw soul power 1966 single Come See Me, adapted from the northern soul version by JJ Jackson.

The Pretty Things On Film featured 4 songs from the soundtrack of LSD, a Chaplinesque short directed by Caterina Arvat and Anthony West, described on the EP sleeve as "sixteen minutes of chase, laughter and many brilliant club scenes", and included their all-stops-out recent classic single Midnight To Six Man ("he might be gone first but is he going anywhere?"), recorded apparently between midnight and six at IBC Studios, and featuring the tinkling piano of Nicky Hopkins and Margo from Goldie and the Gingerbreads on organ. It stalled surprisingly at number 46 in the UK charts but was included on Nuggets II.

If you want one Pretty Things album in your collection, this is probably the one to go for

pretty powerful punk.......2004-04-28

Following the explosive first set,PRETTY THINGS,it's hard to believe their second is even better--but BELIEVE IT!Going with the unusual trend at the time of writing their own tunes,May and Co. prove themselves to be more than up to the task.Nearly every tune works here from the title tune to the ko signature song,MIDNIGHT TO SIX MAN.Adding their hit British single,the thunderous COME SEE ME,the Pretties display a deft mix of Stones raunch with a Beatlesque sense of melody--get it now!

This star vehicle for Sylvester Stallone may be a remake of the 1971 film starring Michael Caine, but the soundtrack music is clearly from this era. Jellybean Benitez worked as executive producer, and the coterie of trip-hop and techno-dance DJs and stars is noteworthy. From the expert grooves of Manchester duo Mint Royale to Petersburg, Ontario's most popular brothers, Soma Sonic, the waves of sensual ambience flow like lava from a lamp. Expert British remixer Paul Oakenfold (Happy Mondays) teams with programmer Andy Gray for "Descents." Soundtrack perennial Moby contributes the hypnotic "Memory Gospel." Bill Leeb and Delerium are on target with "Enchanted." Jellybean himself gives us a take on "Jingle Bells," which is sandwiched between the Accidentals' choir versions of the Christmas carols "Joy to the World" and "Silent Night." --Rob O'Connor

"There is a song in Get Carter that I fell in love with immediately, unfortunately its not on the soundtrack. I heard the song when Stallone crashes the rich-nerdy guy's house party in search of revenge. I also heard the same song in Vanilla sky, during his birthday party. Can anyone help me find the name of this song and who's it by??"

The song is called: From Rusholme With Love - Mint Royale

Amazon.com

Richard Lester's The Knack...and How to Get It captures the mystique of London's Carnaby Street days. Composer John Barry matches the subject with a perky to pensive score that juxtaposes Alan Haven's sometimes bubbly, sometimes funereal pop organ with strings, xylophone, and a blanket of female voices. The result is an often haunting backdrop that strangely conforms more to waltz rhythms than the expected discotheque beat. As usual with many Barry scores, there are variations on one melody (often in a minor mode). Here the tracks provide an eerie musical picture to Lester's foray into the alienated and sometimes twisted psychology of '60s youth. Included are snippets of incidental film dialogue and a vocal version of the theme song by Barry's singing protégé Johnny De Little. --Joseph Lanza

Customer Reviews:

One of Barry's best.......2005-07-24

I haven't seen the film in 30 or more years (and suspect it's dated, as all Lester's 60s films have), but Barry's swinging score has often been on my mind. I bought the vinyl mono soundtrack when it was out and later was lucky enough to find a stereo version. It's just great - Lester's visual style freed Barry up and this is score is more sheer "fun" than anything he wrote before or since. It's hard to pigeonhole. I guess these days it would be categorized as "lounge music," but with its ultra-cool organ solos, it kinda sounds like roller-rink music for the ultra hip! The expanded CD seems to include dialogue from the film, which I'm not sure is a good idea. Too bad it appears to be out of print again ... grab a copy while you can find it.

Swinging!!!.......2005-02-04

This charming and uplifting soundtrack is fast becoming my favourite John Barry score and believe me there's a lot of contenders for that title!

Even without the visuals from the very individual movie which spawned this music, you can't help be transported to the popular image of 'Swinging' London in the 1960's.

As with many Barry scores most of the tracks are variations on the title theme, but each has its own identity. With Alan Haven's groovy jazz organ to the fore it's one of Barry's more overtly jazzy scores. There's some great arrangements with Barry's tradmark swooping strings, bold brass and that sexy muted trumpet used so effectively in his mid-Sixties output. In fact many of the musical styles he used for the Bond soundtracks like Thunderball are evident and there are times when you can almost visualise a tuxedo clad Connery prowling a casino.

If you want to hear well crafted melodies equisitely arranged and performed then look no further than The Knack.

groovy soundtrack!!!!.......2004-06-27

This movie was made by Richard Lester...in between his 2 Beatles films, A Hard Days Night & Help. The movie captures the same feel as his other movies. Very uplifting!!! Great movie and soundtrack!

A TRULY 5-STAR CD OF THE 60'S SWINGING JAZZ.......1998-07-14

The movie THE KNACK--AND HOW TO GET IT was awarded best picture of the year 1965 at Caines Film Festival. An important reason for this award was the music score by John Barry. The movie almost serves like a music video or a format to present John Barry's score. Rykodisc accomplished a nearly unbelievable enhancement of the sound quality in this CD. It sounds like a recent recording made with the latest technology!

As to the music itself, it captures a swinging jazz style very reflective of the 1960's in England. And the music is truly 5 stars! Everyone I have ever shared this music with absolutely loves it!

Since John Barry is the original James Bond composer, there are elements of the music that are wonderfully reminiscent of the early Bond music. But John Barry is a master of a wide range of different types of music; therefore, the music is also quite unique.

Every track on this CD is great! It is one of those "must buy" CDs.
