Reviews

Hazumuchan Apr 9, 2021
Edited 3 years ago
First of all, this soundtrack has been hard-to-find for literally decades. While none of these are my favorites, the Thomas Dolby and Dolby's Cube / Cherry Bomb tracks are fun romps in 1980's nostalgia. I literally bought this only for those songs!

I'm seeing the jacked-up prices for used copies of this and it just makes me sad. As of April 9, 2021, there are still new copies to be purchased from the label itself. Save yourself the trouble and go do that instead of paying the overinflated prices for used copies here!
