Music from American Graffitti
The music on the CD is very good, but the copy I received had a scratch on it. 2009-01-06




NOT the movie soundtrack
Don't be fooled! This is not the motion picture soundtrack album. It is, true to its name, a presentation of all of the songs used in the movie and in the order of their appearance. Anyone who has heard the original soundtrack however will quickly realize that this album is missing the pacing and transitions between songs that help you relive the movie as you hear the music. If you really just want all the songs from the movie, then get this album. The collection is fantastic and provides a great compilation of hits from the era. If you are familiar with the soundtrack then you will shudder every time the CD transitions abruptly from one song to the next as if being played on a iPod. A sign of the times I guess! 2008-12-09

CD SOUNDTRACK -AMERICAN GRAFFITI
Great sounds from the '50's and '60's! CD arrived in good condition in a timely manner. I would recommend this to anyone who likes the oldies. 2008-10-20




Why does this matter?
The movie used music to move the story but most songs were cut short. The CD is the soundtrack of 1963, the last year American pop music was really American music. One hit wonders, Detroit, surfers, tragedies, it's all here. Within a year it all changed. The Beatles and the Stones became "American" music. The serendipity of one hit wonders was replaced by mass marketing telling us what music we should buy. The "Sixties" began in 1964, 1963 was in many ways the last year of the "Fifties" Enjoy. 2008-09-18
