"Dang! Why is this totaly out of print? In addition to the Elvis Costello title song (that has yet to appear on ANY of his CD's), this ecclectic collection contained a who's who of Brit's best doing cover versions. They include Sting cutting loose on Little Richard's "Tutti Frutti," and Midge Ure of Ultravoxx doing Bowie's "Man Who Sold The World" a decade before Nirvana unplugged it. I have and love this on LP still, but sure wish this one "party party" could finally drop on CD."

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

"The movie that this is the soundtrack to, that is. In the meantime, though, get this album and listen to it obsessively. Like me.



This was the soundtrack to a movie that never got released in the States, but the OST came over as a new-wave sampler. You've got a fine panopoly of icons of the era with gerat tracks. Sting's contributions are a heck of a lot of fun, and Costello's track is a blast in spite of what he has to say about it.



All in all, it's just a great disc. Highly recommended."
