This is the soundtrack to the cult movie where P.J. Soles plays the Ramones #1 fan. It features two great original songs by the Ramones, plus an 11 minute live performance by the Ramones. The Ramones also back up The Paley Brothers on a cover of Ritchie Valens classic “Come On Let’s Go”. (Incidentally, Andy Paley later became a well respected producer.) The only other song recorded especially for this album is a cute version of “Rock ‘n’ Roll High School” by P.J. Soles herself. The rest of the album consists of tracks licensed from other record companies. Most of them are very good, although I don’t care much for the weird instrumental by Brian Eno. Several of the songs have a “school” theme, appropriately enough. I should mention that “School Days” by Chuck Berry is not the original version, it’s a rerecording that sounds almost identical to the original (it’s even in mono). In short, this is a terrific soundtrack. Highly recommended.
