Blast from the past
I found these while cleaning my office over the weekend. Perhaps my favorite soundtrack of all time.

Just saw this post, so I’m late to the party, but that 2nd soundtrack is a unicorn! I only knew one person that had it or was even aware of it. Little Stars has turned into one of my reference tracks for hifi. I didn’t love it back in the day lol.

I used to have both volumes. The second one has When Doves Cry by Quindon Tarver (the kid who sings in the choir) and the rest of the tracks are score. Really only worth it for superfans. Stick with Volume 1 and you'll be good.

Volume 1= licensed artists' songs Volume 2 = the score

I was literally trying to explain to a guy I went on a date with how we, as 25 year old girls, saw this movie a hundred times over the course of 3-8 years. I never knew there was a second one and I’m not sure I wanted to. 😬

Accurate. Several times in the same day even.

There isn't a sequel movie, just a second soundtrack with more music

Okay - now THAT I can get behind. Thank you for squashing my fears of someone ruining part of my teenage hood

No problem, there have been eniugh unwanted and uneeded sequels that I absolutely understand the fear!😆

Sorry for the jolt of panic! The second disc is more of the secondary music from the movie. It is a great listen for super fans, I promise.

Did you ever put this in your computer? It was one of those enhanced CDs and it came up with it's own player and pictures from the movie and stuff.

I did way back when and had totally forgotten about that until seeing it in the comments today. I’m genuinely excited to check this out when I’m back home this evening!

I found it on CD shortly after it's release at a former discount department store, Bi-Way around the same time that I also found a 90's Jefferson Starship CD Grace Slick came out of retirement to guest on. I often found cut out bin cassettes from the late 80's still shrink wrapped a decade later there too like Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe and Mojo Nixon & Skid Roper - Root Hog or Die.

The Garbage song from this soundtrack certain helped with my imagination driven self pleasure sessions.

As a guy who was 16 when this was happening, I can tell you. You didnt even need to listen to them. There were certain cds that you just needed to have the case in your car for girls to find, and they would think you were sensitive. - Rome + Juliet soundtrack - Sade, Best of - Garbage, Garbage - Lisa Loeb, Stay(single)

Vividly remember getting drunk with my friend in college [both of us high school English teachers in training] and listening to/reciting along with the intro of volume 2... We did our best drunken choral effort before completing the most epic air drum fill leading to "the boys, the boys." Ahhhh...the nerdom.

Did you ever put it in your CD-ROM? There was a little program it would run.

It’s been decades for me. Thanks for the reminder as I’ll do that after work!

For anyone who doesn't have the CD or, more likely, a computer with a cd-rom: [https://archive.org/details/r-j\_20220907](https://archive.org/details/r-j_20220907) (This is also a computer activity. Wouldn't load on my phone.)

These were probably the two most influential albums of my early teen years and I’m not even exaggerating.

I remember teen me being incensed that the first one didn’t include when doves cry so I had to hunt down the second one. Still have both.

Back when movies had excellent soundtracks to go with them. This is a banger, as are the Trainspotting and Hackers OST. (Both of which spawned multiple soundtrack albums.)

I loved this soundtrack. This soundtrack, The Crow, The Craft, Empire Records, Singles.. we had amazing soundtracks.

This was such a cool idea for a movie, I wish he'd done more Shakespeare adaptations! And yes, best soundtrack!

Radiohead's "Talk Show Host" is one of the best b-sides on a soundtrack ever! (NIN's "The Perfect Drug" also comes to mind)
