4.0 out of 5 stars You've got the Ultimate DVD - now get this to go with it!, April 21, 2004

This review is from: Ultimate Dirty Dancing (Audio CD)

For ages, I've put off getting the second soundtrack to Dirty Dancing, purely because most of the good tracks on the original. And then with the Ultimate Dirty Dancing DVD, PACKED with extras, they go and release this. Well, obviously, a big Dirty Dancing fan is going to get both. We're not stupid - well, maybe. But this is a must-have for any Dirty Dancing fan.

This has all the tracks on one CD, better than switching back and forth between CDs just to hear a particular track. They are all on one CD now, and in the order they appeared in the movie. Well, according to some reviews, they may not be, but who cares?

Some of the best tracks are on this CD, from "Hungry Eyes" to "Love Is Strange" to "She's Like The Wind" (who says actors can't sing?) and of course, who could forget, the song that practically made this movie - "I've Had The Time Of My Life".

You will not regret getting this album. It's a collector's item, along with the DVD, has some great behind the scenes photos in the insert.

This review is from: Ultimate Dirty Dancing (Audio CD)

It's incredible that almost 20 years after its release, this album is still strong that RCA released this new and enhanced edition.
I remember being 7 years old or so when I bought the original soundtrack and it was a major hit. I knew all the lyrics and used to play it endless times (it was a cassette at that time). The success of the movie and soundtrack were incredible and the most amazing thing is that the movie took place in the early 60's and you can find songs from the 80's with that particular style that the songs from the 80's have and you won't even mind about that difference of sound and style. Among the new songs for this soundtrack. You can find the #1 hit "I'VE HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE" and "HUNGRY EYES" a song performed by Eric Carmen. The song was the second greatest hit of this production, peaking at #4 on Billboard's Hot 100. Actor Patrick Swayze recorded "SHE'S LIKE THE WIND" a song that also became a hit. The album was a big hit with sales exceding the 20 million copies, a Grammy award and an Oscar.
This new production is very special because it contains 26 songs (the original only has 12) including the Kellerman's anthem and with this you have all the songs that appear in the movie sequenced in the order that they appear in the film. The only song missing is a song (I don't know the its name) that Lisa, Baby's sister sings during a rehearsal. The other difference that this edition has is that the theme song "I'VE HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE", is added in its original edition, not the radio edit version as the original soundtrack.
This cd is worth it even tough you have the original.

This review is from: Ultimate Dirty Dancing (Audio CD)

This is the ONLY Dirty Dancing CD that has all the songs from the hit movie. An added bonus is they are sequenced in the order that they appear in the film. So if you are a big fan of the movie, just listening to the music you can remember each scene. In all there are 26 wonderful tracks. Great edition to any Dirty Dancing collection and a must have to go with the new Ultimate Edition DVD. The version I have is the 'Hyper CD' which has some extra features that are accessed with your computer's DVD player.
