After years of procrastination (and being reminded by Night Ranger's title track on the so-called "oldies" station), I finally saw The Secret of my Success and enjoyed it thoroughly (the comedy, the actors, the scenery, the aesthetic, etc.). Of course, I also thoroughly enjoyed the soundtrack. Surprisingly, this most '80s title -movie and/or soundtrack- isn't mentioned as often as, say, Flashdance. It's definitely as '80s as it gets, but while some may write it off as over-produced '80s cheese, I say it's high-energy, uplifting goodness. That's always in high-demand in my book. All tracks are great: Night Ranger's, Pat Benatar's, Bananarama's, Taxxi's, Restless Heart's, Roger Daltrey's, Danny Peck's & Nancy Shanks', and David Foster's. Speaking of which... Credit to David Foster (writer for John Parr's St. Elmo's Fire/Man in Motion) for putting his fingerprints on just about every track, from his own beautiful instrumental pieces to Night Ranger's title theme (that took me by surprise). My only gripe? This soundtrack is it. Just these 10 tracks. There are no special edition releases. No Anniversary editions. Not even re-releases. If you want an official release of the instrumental segment of Night Ranger's track, you're out of luck... for now anyways. In the meantime, get a copy of this release and enjoy.Read full review

After missing out on one bidding auction and losing two others in less than thirty seconds, we finally was able to nabe this vintage old school CD! It has excellant production beautifully corographed songs from start to finish. Which by the way unlike songs of today's modern era these songs all have virtual meaning to them. Defiantly a buyers choice it cost us a lot to finally hammer this one down, but we plan to win another one for cheap and resale it on ebay.
Excellent music. David Foster and all those involved captured the feel of the 80s.
