Amazon.com Review
The most detailed and, in many respects, the finest volume in the VideoHound series of guidebooks, VideoHound's Soundtracks is essential for music lovers. It is a comprehensive reference to movie and television soundtracks as well as to albums made from Broadway and movie musicals. Each entry is accompanied by thoughtful and trenchant commentary, a full list of credits, and the title and performer of each cut on the album. As is customary in the VideoHound series, the recordings are rated from "five bones" to "WOOF!"
VideoHound's Soundtracks also contains indices organized by album title, composer, producer, orchestrator, conductor, performer, and song title. In the back of the book you'll find a compact disc sampler titled "The Best Soundtracks in Show Business!!!" which contains music from recent films such as The Rock, Donnie Brasco, Ransom, and Mother.

3.0 out of 5 stars
A large but overall mediocre and disappointing guide.,
By Mary N Runolfson (Walnut Creek, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Videohound's Soundtracks: Music from the Movies, Broadway, and Television (Paperback)
I'm a huge fan of the Videohound books as well as movie soundtracks so when I read about this book I was pretty excited. But alas, I found this book to be the least satisfying of all their books. MANY notable and popular soundtracks are not reviewed. And I found the music compiliation section uninteresting. They could have easily filled that space with more movie soundtracks! The "free" cd is ok but unfortunately I had every soundtrack featured, but nonetheless, it was fun to listen to all the songs together. Buyer beware: This can be unsatisfactory if you're used to VH's usual high quality.
