5.0 out of 5 stars A Shame This is Out of Print!!, May 14, 2003

This review is from: Tucker - The Man and His Dream (Audio CD)

With Joe's instrumental virtuosity, no one doubted he could do amazing soundtracks. Like his amazing "Mike's Murder" soundtrack, Joe's music fits "Tucker" to a T. We already knew Joe liked Forties jazz and with this album, he gets to show off his amazing piano playing and swing music in that style. I have heard the opening track "The Captain of Industry" copied and used on "The Simpsons" (I wonder if they gave Joe composer credit?)and on countless other TV moments. His upbeat, fingersnapping entries here ("He's a Shape," "Rhythm Delivery") will have you tapping your feet. I thought the movie "Tucker" was not bad, but the soundtrack takes it to another level. Another of why Joe Jackson musically ruled the 80's!!

I loved the movie and bought the soundtrack tape a while ago. If you like Swing and Big Band with a nostalgic flavor, this is a great CD with some great compilations from Joe Jackson. Seeing the movie first (a great under-rated movie with alot of visual flair) helps conjure wonderful nostalgic imagery while you listen to the CD.

The above title says it all. What more could you want when you want/need a song...and you need it asap. I am a dance teacher, and I just had to have songs from this particular sound track in MP3 format, and I only had them on tape. When I learned where they came from originally, I had to find that sound track in CD/MP3 format, and I immediately sent away for it. The service was quick, and the condition of the CD was perfect.
