CD Description
Bringing together some of Richard Curtis’ favourite songs, many of which have never been cleared for soundtrack usage before, the soundtrack to The Boat That Rocked is truly integral to the movie. It features some of the greatest songs from the 60’s and 70’s, as well as the odd gem from the 80’s (David Bowie’s "Let’s Dance"). A new version of "Stay With Me Baby" performed by Duffy, meanwhile, provides the backdrop to one of the film’s most poignant moments.

Customer Reviews

101 great pirate tunes will always beat 36!
Not a bad album, with some very memorable tracks (especially if you were like there at the time man!)
However it doesn't really hold up against one of the other albums offered on this site - '101 Pirate Radio Hits' - which gives loads more - equally good tracks - for (a little) less money. Take a look at that album before you buy this one, as a lot of the tracks are duplicated. What swung it for me was the inclusion of the Cryin' Shames brilliant version of Please Stay. I have been after a copy of this record for simply ages. So it's the 101 pirates for me.

It really was like that ....
The 1960's - when the transistor radio allowed everyone to listen to the pirates, snuggled up in their bed room, late into the night. John Peel, Johnnie Walker, Dave Lee Travis, Tony Blackburn ... and the list goes on. It was great music, slightly naughty, and great fun. Bands came from nowhere and musical innovation was everywhere. And the pirates opened up the floodgates for commercial radio, the grandfathers of what is happening in the music industry today.

The movie and the CD captures those times perfectly. The CD is not so much a "soundtrack" album as a first class compilation of the brilliant music of the era. There is not a bad track on the album, although it is a pity that bands like the Beatles are missing as they, too, were part of the revolution.

superb soundtrack
This is an album people cannot be with out wether its those who grew up in the sixties or for those who missed it and are curious to check it out as its pop songs are well balanced by heavier numbers such as The Kinks "All Day and all of the night", The Who's "I Can see for miles", backed up by pop nuggets "don't have to say you love me" by Dusty Springfield and "with a girl like you" by the Troggs.

Like other reviewers have pointed out its a pity none of the Beatles tracks have made the album or The Rolling stones or even the dave clark five as they where the vanguard of the swinging sixties.
