This disc is a great buy for discovering some good 1970's tracks which have somehow fallen into obscurity. The soundtrack includes some surf guitar, some rock, some soul music and also a tune from Ennio Morricone, the composer of much of Sergio Leone's scores. Tarantino is always able to get a hold of diverse and interesting music for his movies and Death Proof is no exception. The song which initially got my attention was the track titled "Hold Tight". If you've seen the movie then you would have learned that that was the band that Pete Townsend almost left the Who to join. Anyone who dug either the Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs soundtracks ought to won this one as well.
Lot of Great Songs, from the opening by Jack Nitzche to the last song by April MMarch. Checking out April March on Youtube, she has a couple of other great songs: On her video Mignonette, proves that a woman at 30 can be so cute. From there she turned me on to France Gall. But April March's version of "Cet Air La" beats out France Gall's version. April March never attempts big dance numbers and tries to raise the sex bar, so therefore she is not MTV material. Don't trust me, see for yourself about April March and France Gall. Also, I was surprised that there is video of France Gall with Elton John & Cindi Lauper.
no cons, great cd ,fast deliv.

I don't know how Quentin Tarantino does it but this soundtrack to his newest film, DEATH PROOF, makes you want him to keep making awesome films in order for us to be exposed to his outstanding knowledge of music! Across the board from a Morricone (hope I spelled that correctly) selection to a lost classic by Dave, Dee, Dozy, Mitch & Titch ( who knew that Pete Townsend almost ditched The Who for these guys?), as well as some choice Kurt Russell dialogue, and you've got a winner of a soundtrack!
This car is 100% death proof......
