Customer Reviews

I got mine autographed by P.J. Soles!
This is the soundtrack to the cult movie where P.J. Soles plays the Ramones #1 fan. It features two great original songs by the Ramones, plus an 11 minute live performance by the Ramones. The Ramones also back up The Paley Brothers on a cover of Ritchie Valens classic "Come On Let's Go". (Incidentally, Andy Paley later became a well respected producer.) The only other song recorded especially for this album is a cute version of "Rock 'n' Roll High School" by P.J. Soles herself. The rest of the album consists of tracks licensed from other record companies. Most of them are very good, although I don't care much for the weird instrumental by Brian Eno. Several of the songs have a "school" theme, appropriately enough. I should mention that "School Days" by Chuck Berry is not the original version, it's a rerecording that sounds almost identical to the original (it's even in mono). In short, this is a terrific soundtrack. Highly recommended.

Rock n Roll HS
This is a great CD and a great movie! I hadn't seen the movie in years and when I came across the sound track it brought back so many good memories. If you grew up in the early 80's and were into the "punk" scene this is the CD for you.

Great Soundtrack for a Great Movie
All the Ramones' music on this album is top-notch, particularly the live medley and the cover of Ritchie Valens' "C'mon Let's Go." The PJ Soles version of "Rock N' Roll High School" is fun, too. And the Ramones' Ed Stasium-produced version of the song here is far superior to the Phil Spector version on "End of the Century." The rest of the album is cuts from other artists (Nick Lowe, Eddie & the Hotrods, Devo, Brownsville Station...). The only thing missing is the Paul McCartney & Wings song that opens the picture. Probably cost too much to license.
