3/5 A fine colection but...
  by Erik Vitols (San Antonio, TX)
No question about it, all the songs on here are great. However, you're better off searching for the expanded edition of this soundtrack, which has 4 extra tracks. It's out of print, but can be found in used CD stores. This soundtrack is often used to represent the baby boomer generation, but believe me, it barely dents the surface.

3/5 Maybe the Stones wouldn't cough up the rights.

Could be my memory's faulty. Could be the Stones wouldn't give the rights to the label. But don't I remember the movie starting out rolling a coffin down the aisle to the wistful cynicism of Jagger's scratchy tenor complaint, "You Can't Always Get What You Want". To prove the literal truth of the lyrics, the song isn't in either soundtrack.
What else are we missing?!

3/5 Great music; greedy record company.

There's no question, the music is wonderful, but for goodness sake, why is Polygram being so cheap? Both this and the supplemental compilation could easily fit on one disc.

5/5 Why the 60's was know as the "free love" decade.
  by Anthony Hinde (Sydney, Australia)
Even if you haven't seen the movie, you would appreciate this soundtrack album. It is a one stop shop for the 60's music scene. If you are young and don't remember the sixties, get this CD and you'll get the cream of the crop. It's got great artists like Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye and Aretha Franklin, who shaped a generation. Be warned though, it will make you want to rush out and buy a dozen other albums as you dive into the past. As the man said, "There is no other music."

4/5 A great collection of songs

This soundtrack is one of the best I have heard, where every song is a joy. If you are a fan of oldies or just enjoy being able to listen to a CD all the way through without having to skip any bad tracks, then buy this CD!
