A unique soundtrack May 4, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
When I first saw the film in 1981, I rushed out to by the LP soundtrack. Over the years it has lost none of its sheer listening enjoyment. Naturally the cd is an improvement in sound quality over the LP.
This soundtrack really captures the movie's hugely enjoyable OTT ebullience. All the tracks in here can be listened to on multiple repeat plays. Cheap Trick's 'Reach Out' and 'I Must be dreamin' are both good. 'Radar Rider' is the stronger of the two Riggs tracks on the album. Stevie Nick's 'Blue Lamp' grows on you each time you play it, as does the Nazareth track 'Crazy (A suitable Case For Treatment). Chill out to Don Fagen's 'True Companion' and Don Felder's 'All Of You'.
What is the best track on here - two contenders in my opinion:
- Blue Oyster Cult's superb 'Veteran Of the Psychic Wars' Was this track ever released as a single, if not why not?
- Don Felder's Heavy Metal, mean, moody, and magnificent track. Slow build up to a crescendo, and then it just winds back down again to a graceful fade out.
Frankly it's a tie, both songs are too good to put into second place.
Get this cd for that drive into work, guaranteed to make it a somewhat more enjoyable experience.

One of the best collections of rock ever put together for the sound track to a film..... and boy what a film.
This collection has something for all, from the silky voice of - Stevie Nicks (Blue Lamp) to the gravelly Dan McCaffty of Nazareth (Crazy).
If a tune written by one of the best fantasy writers since J.R.R Tolkien for the very best rock band in the known universe (Veteran Of The Psychic Wars - Blue Oyster Cult) is not enough for you .......... then buy the bloody film as well.
