Having watched the movie nearly a dozen times, I decided to track down the soundtrack. I wasn't disappointed at all. All of the songs in the movie (as far as I can tell) are on the disc. It's funny to hear some of the blurbs from Colin Firth, and I think that they are a cool addition to the soundtrack. If you love this movie, you need to own this soundtrack.

This CD includes great selections of rock and pop music for the film (which takes place in the late 80s and the late 60s/early 70s). It also includes wonderful selections of Colin Firth's voice-over narration. This is a fun soundtrack from a delightfully engaging film about a sports fan's obsessive love for football (that's soccer to Americans).

Why 5 stars? Well, one star just because I'm an Arsenal fan; two stars because I watched the DVD and although it was very loosely based on the book, at least the author himself, Nick Hornby no less, writes the Introduction in the cd sleeve telling us how much involved he was in selecting the tracks himself!.

3 stars because of the great packaging: great photos from the film in the cd booklet and the cd itself is made to look like a soccer ball while the backing is a picture of a field; looks very cool believe me!

4 stars because of the quality of the sound recording which is very good and much more than I've come to expect from soundtracks and finally 5 stars because of the quality of the song selections.

How can you go wrong when you have Van Morrison, the Who, the Pretenders, Lisa Stansfield and most importantly, the La's "There She Goes!" all on one disc! Thanks for making it unnecessary for me to buy albums full of fillers just to get this song plus "Been Around the World."

If you liked the movie, (not so much the book as explained why earlier)this is a good cd to get. If you are an Arsenal fan like me, what are you waiting for? Get the cd! : )

This is a great soundtrack!!! The seller was quick to respond and the product was delivered secure and in a timely manner. Thank you sooo much! It is a favorate of mine.

talk about music to fit the movie! this one has just what it takes. it is a sensational compilation of hits that make you want to relive the decade, and just beautifully underscores the movie.

Can you say play it loud? Brings back songs I had forgotten I listened to in the 80s. A real treat.
