Product Description

CD Description

Bringing together some of Richard Curtis’ favourite songs, many of which have never been cleared for soundtrack usage before, the soundtrack to The Boat That Rocked is truly integral to the movie. It features some of the greatest songs from the 60’s and 70’s, as well as the odd gem from the 80’s (David Bowie’s "Let’s Dance"). A new version of "Stay With Me Baby" performed by Duffy, meanwhile, provides the backdrop to one of the film’s most poignant moments.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic..., 17 May 2009
By 
LittleReader (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
I loved this film and the Soundtrack, for me, was what really made my experience so enjoyable. I originally wasn't convinced by Duffy's rendition of 'Stay with me baby' (the track that opens the film) but admittedly, it has grown on me - her voice is so unique.
Other favourites include 'The Beach Boys', 'The Turtles' and 'Dusty Springfield' and after downloading this album straight to my ipod have found it to be an upbeat, funky playlist that I use when exercising...Oh and partying...And cleaning...And driving...
Highly recommended, in my opinion the Soundtrack manages to outrank the movie somewhat!

3.0 out of 5 stars 101 great pirate tunes will always beat 36!, 9 Sep 2009
By

This review is from: The Boat That Rocked (Audio CD)
Not a bad album, with some very memorable tracks (especially if you were like there at the time man!)
However it doesn't really hold up against one of the other albums offered on this site - '101 Pirate Radio Hits' - which gives loads more - equally good tracks - for (a little) less money. Take a look at that album before you buy this one, as a lot of the tracks are duplicated. What swung it for me was the inclusion of the Cryin' Shames brilliant version of Please Stay. I have been after a copy of this record for simply ages. So it's the 101 pirates for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars It really was like that ...., 4 April 2009
This review is from: The Boat That Rocked (Audio CD)
The 1960's - when the transistor radio allowed everyone to listen to the pirates, snuggled up in their bed room, late into the night. John Peel, Johnnie Walker, Dave Lee Travis, Tony Blackburn ... and the list goes on. It was great music, slightly naughty, and great fun. Bands came from nowhere and musical innovation was everywhere. And the pirates opened up the floodgates for commercial radio, the grandfathers of what is happening in the music industry today.

The movie and the CD captures those times perfectly. The CD is not so much a "soundtrack" album as a first class compilation of the brilliant music of the era. There is not a bad track on the album, although it is a pity that bands like the Beatles are missing as they, too, were part of the revolution.
