This double-disc special edition soundtrack summarizes everything that made Mike Hodges' groundbreaking 70's revenge film a cult classic. This soundtrack is mandatory for any fan of the film or of talented composer Roy Budd whose haunting theme is highlighted throughout the album with dialogue samples from the film selectively placed between music cues capturing the gritty atmosphere of Michael Cain's uber-cool Jack Carter. In addition, this album includes a bonus remix CD featuring 10 tracks remixed by some of the most talented techno DJ's world wide and take Roy Budd's main theme to a new level, eclipsing Tyler Bates electronic reworking for the disappointing Stallone remake. This special edition import CD is beautifully packaged in a glossy gatefold sleeve featuring liner notes booklet with stunning cover artwork and photographs capturing the essence of the quintessential film. It is worth every penny (or shilling) to purchase this import version instead of the standard version which includes 28 tracks, 3 more than the standard edition which are basically just additional dialogue samples from the film, however the instrumental version of Getting Nowhere In A Hurry is absent from this edition. I own both versions and the special edition is by far the best, the rarest, and geared for the collector so go get yourself some Carter!

Got it for the theme song and it sounds great!

The dialogue is an added bonus!
