Editorial Review: Album Description: 1998 reissue on Simply Vinyl of MCA's smash soundtrack toQuentin Tarantino's 1994 film starring John Travolta, SamuelL. Jackson, Uma Thurman and Bruce Willis. Contains classicslike Urge Overkill's cover of 'Girl, You'll Be A WomanSoon', Dusty Springfield' Amazon.com: Dick Dale's surf-guitar provided the memorable title theme ("Misirlou"), for Quentin Tarantino's 1994 smash, and although that sound runs throughout the soundtrack (along with bits and pieces of dialog from the movie), this is a pretty eclectic bunch of really terrific songs. I don't know how it all manages to hang together, but it does (you might say the same for the interwoven stories in the movie). Where else are you going to find Chuck Berry, Maria McKee, Al Green, The Statler Brothers, Kool & the Gang, Urge Overkill (singing a Neil Diamond ballad!), Ricky Nelson, Dusty Springfield, and the Tornadoes (among others) one album? McKee's beautiful "If Love is a Red Dress (Hang Me in Rags)" is a standout, partly because it's less familiar. One of the few soundtracks of the '90s that went into the CD player and stayed there for weeks and months thereafter. --Jim Emerson Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - 16 definitions of coolIt makes sense that when Tarantino was in the grips of his creative writing peak, this unusually attuned song selector would be at his best as well. Stringing together this unusual mix mainly contrasting R&B with Surf but certainly throwing in other classic genre nods as well, Pulp Fiction's distinct sequencing still stands out as one of the hippest soundtracks to emerge. Rating:  - Perfect conditionThe CD was in perfect condition and arrived in less than a week. And all this at a great price! Rating: - Tarantino knows his musicIt's a safe bet that the Soundtrack to any Tarantino movie won't disappoint, and Pulp Fiction delivers. In addition to reviving the career of John Travolta, the movie resurrected many classic songs: Kool and the Gang's "Jungle Boogie", Dusty Springfields, "Son of a Preacher" and the Statler Brothers, "Flowers on a Wall" were invigorated by the movie. With classic lines from the movie spliced in ("In France, it's a Royale with Cheese") it brings back the best of the movie. Certainly a great CD for the car CD player when the movie's not available. Rating: - Where's Wray?I can't say anything about this soundtrack that hasn't been said a hundred times. The known songs are great and the surf songs are better. I just wonder why Tarantino didn't include Link Wray's "Rumble" that is played in the background during the Jack Rabbit Slims scene. It is such a great song, it would have put this soundtrack over the edge. Rating: - The soundtrack is better than the film...I like this soundtrack a ton. Surprisingly, despite the fact that I love films, I rarely buy soundtracks. I only buy them if I dig the music. This is one of the few soundtracks I have, and I play it quite a lot. I think Tarantino is an overrated filmmaker, but his choice of music here is excellent. I really like the Chuck Berry song You Never Can Tell, and I really love Miserlou, the theme of Pulp Fiction. Son of a Preacher Man is a bonafide classic, and I dig Jungle Boogie, which is superior to Kool and the Gang's awful Celebration song. This soundtrack is better than the film. |
