Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
No matter whether or not you think Sylvester Stallone should have gone back to the Rocky trough one more time, this soundtrack is fun because it's basically a collection of music from all the past movies in the saga, ending with Three 6 Mafia's rap contribution to Rocky Balboa, "It's a Fight." The CD starts off with Bill Conti's "Gonna Fly Now (Theme from Rocky)," which remains so totally awesome that we can only bow to its 1970s brilliance; a 2006 remix tagged on at the end doesn't improve on it. Oddly, the sequencing isn't chronological, maybe so the two best-known tracks--the original theme and Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger," from Rocky III--could start off the CD with a one-two punch. But that also means that we zig-zag back and forth in the Rocky saga. James Brown's "Living in America" (from Rocky IV) has aged rather well, but the compilers realized Bill Conti's proto-disco score for the first installment still fares the best, and so five tracks are pulled from it (compared to just one from Rocky V). That old warhorse's still got some juice. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Format:Audio CD
I'm going to make my review short and simple, the songs are brilliant, and they are all in brilliant remastered sound quality.
However the reason i did not give this 5 stars is because they left off a couple of the best Rocky soundtrack songs:
Training Montage (Rocky IV)
The Measure Of A Man (Rocky V)
Hearts On Fire (Rocky IV) [Extended Version]
Its a shame really, because it would have been the most perfect soundtrack album of all time, but hey its still great, you just have to buy another 2 Rocky soundtracks with it if you want the complete 'best of' :-)

Format:MP3 Download
You know all the classics like eye of the tiger, burning heart, gonna fly now, no easy way out blah blah blah. If you've ever been shadow boxing around the room after watching Rocky on telly then this is the album for you. It's fantastic to train to and I owe a few seconds off my half marathon time to eye of the tiger and no easy way out.
There is a fair bit of rubbish in their to pad it out but to get the classics I mentioned then it's worth it. There are a few tracks with short samples of motivational speech from the film and they are cheesy but good. It's classic for your ears only stuff. Download onto your mp3 player and nobody in the gym needs to know that Rocky is shouting "Yo Adrian" in your earphones. Just don't start shouting it out as you pick up the pace on the treadmill with 20 people training around you!
