Dick Dale's surf-guitar provided the memorable title theme Misirlou for Quentin Tarantino's 1994 smash, and although that sound runs throughout the soundtrack (along with bits and pieces of dialog from the movie), this is a pretty eclectic bunch of really terrific songs. Where else are you going to find Chuck Berry, Maria McKee, Al Green, The Statler Brothers, Kool and the Gang, Urge Overkill (singing a Neil Diamond ballad!), Ricky Nelson, Dusty Springfield, and the Tornadoes (among others) on one album? LP - 180 Gram Vinyl.
