This review is from: Mancini Rocks the Pops (Audio CD)

I bought this for the U2 track, and it's wonderful. Great buildup and grand sound. Mancini's work makes these songs sound like classical version, not muzak. A good converse would be Royal Philharmonic Orchestra doing U2 -- totally flat, combining eletrical with classical instruments, pure muzak. Mancini on the otherhand put a lot of work on this one and maybe has a full orchestra to give it a full sound. The other 80s songs on here are done quite well. If you're a big fan of any one of the other songs it would be worth buying to hear Mancini's interpretations.

The linear notes included in the CD are incorrect in places. Also, there's only 12 tracks. Imagine (11) is the last full song, the rest of the songs listed here is combined as a medley in track 12. Don't assume you're getting the full versions of the rest of the songs.
