Customer Reviews

Summer in the City?
Once again the one track you can't find anywhere else is also the one missing from the soundtrack album. The inclusion of the Gutter Brothers' cover of "Summer in the City" from the episode "Miami Twice" would have made me buy this. As it is it's just a collection of your average late 80's / early 90's middle of the road stuff you could hear by tuning into a commercial radio station anywhere in the country.

A Good Mix of 80's music.
Despite the fact that there are a few tracks here I don't recall hearing on the show, along with the fact that The Hollies' 'He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother' isn't on here when it should be, this album comprises a pretty good range of 80's music with a dash of 90's to make it feel slightly contemporary. There is one song on this album which I adore. I remember it featuring in the Christmas 1982 episode of OFAH, 'Diamonds are for Heather'. The song is 'ZOOM' by Fat Larry's Band. The title of the song really doesn't do it justice. I pictured an anebriated, obese, thirty something scrambling around outside the pub mimicking the noise of the passing traffic, but what I actually got was an immensely catchy, uplifting, poetic number which of course I then remembered I'd heard on the programme. Anyway, what with that, Paul Young's 'Wherever I Lay My Hat', Wet Wet Wet's 'Sweet Little Mystery' and many other top tunes, this is a very good CD indeed.

Some good songs but not really for OFAH
This is a good album if you enjoy listening to 1980s music as it includes some of the great songs from that era. I would have liked some more real OFAH songs for example, Del's rendition of Barry Manilow's 'One Voice' or 'Our House'(this appears at the end of 'Time On Our Hands' from 1996 where we see the Trotter's new house, cars etc). Overall i would only buy it if you really like the songs included on the CD.
