I agree that the song choice could have been better, The McGuire Sisters' version of "Volare" drives me nuts with their mispronunciation of the Italian word "volare" and Rosemary Clooney's "Botch-A- Me" would not have been among her choice to add (she didn't like doing Mitch Miller's arrangements), overall I think that the song choice and original music merit the soundtrack as being at least a 4 star rating. For the people who are too young to remember AM radio, songs were always cut to the two to three minute mark for airplay. Therefore, complaining that Vic Damone or Bobby Vinton's songs being cut or faded out prematurely must remember that the song would have been heard by most people that way, and in that sense the MADMEN writers/composers are going for the authenticity of the time that is being portrayed.

This soundtrack could have been great like the show, but instead, corners were cut. First of all, where is Don Cherry's Band of Gold? The Bobby Vinton track cuts off abruptly. Why couldn't a sexy track like Esquivel's Mucha Muchacha have been included as a tribute to Joan, the busty office manager? This soundtrack is a dud and the original score lacks luster !

Just received in today's mail. I liked the CD a lot....expecially the song used in the show's opening credits. It's over 5 minutes long. There are so many great songs used during Season One, it would be impossible to include them all.
The DVD for Season One has a Special Feature section, where the music director explains over a few episodes, how the music was chosen and the arguments among he and his staff about how to use it. Fascinating.

I found that the cd was very short for the amount of swanky music on the first season . I look for my cds to transport me back to the show but I found this cd a little like don draper.... Cold and emotionally unavailable.

This is some great music to just sit down and relax with, preferably with a drink.

I love this series and the music that goes along with it. Will have to purchase some of their other music from this show. Makes me feel like a kid again! Not that I'm that old ;

Another CD that has fabulous song choices.
I would highly recommend this CD to those who love the oldies but goodies - you won't be disppointed.

The Music Got To Me...
The music of this made for TV show, MAD MEN got under my skin and I had to have it. An eclectic collection of music well worth the price. The opening theme in particular....

Another fantastic MadMen CD -
I own all three and they are all equally great. This one is particularly sexy and sleek: even if you are not into the show, you should still check this one out. Read more

A superb series
One of the best tv dramas I have seen. And I would add pretty accurate for the 60's.
