3.0 out of 5 stars Top CD but incomparable to the film, March 10, 2001

By	Matt Cobb (Chobham, Surrey United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

To be blunt - its a good CD if you are a major fan of the film. However, most of the tunes are good only as backing music to classic Michael Caine acting, and lose a lot when played alone. There are one or two good tracks, suck as Matt Monros opening song 'On Days Like These' and the 'Self-Preservation Society' from the end of the film. Listening it through you'll recognise many parts but none of the other tracks are paticuarluy noteable on their own. As part of a CD soundtrack they rock but each one isnt brilliant. I guess it all depends if you were a major Italian Job fan.
