While not as much of a commercial success as Quentin Tarantino's later film Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs is today regarded as a classic, although happily one that doesn't take itself too seriously. With its out-of-sequence narrative involving a diamond heist, its desperate characters expressing opinions on music and cinema, and the constant radio play (all the film's music is from source cues), Dogs remains shocking and exhilarating. Even stronger on the CD is the implication that the story is somehow being told by Steven Wright's deadpan '70s disc jockey. Tracks include "Little Green Bag" by the George Baker Selection, "Hooked on a Feeling" by Blue Swede, "I Gotcha" by Joe Tex, "Coconut" by Harry Nilsson, and the one that will always remind viewers of the movie's grisliest scene, "Stuck in the Middle with You" by Stealers Wheel. --Stanley Booth

 An odd upside to 70's radio September 18, 2008

Tarentino's first soundtrack was just as eccentrically spot-on as any other he would continue to explore, though you could argue this one works as his most cohesive disc since they tied Wright's DJ character throughout the impressively obscure track list.
 Easy transaction April 6, 2008
Very easy trans. came in the mail a little over a week. Impeccable condition. Thanks.

The Tarantino phenomenon begins with "Reservoir Dogs", the film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino which won him worldwide acclaims and gave him his first break.
This 1991 film is about six perfect strangers with colour-coded aliases (Mr Orange, Mr White, Mr Blonde, Mr Pink, Mr Brown and Mr Blue) pulling off a simple heist. But one of them is an undercover cop and the story ends with the most moving and unexpected twist despite all the typical Tarantino blood, gore and violence.
The film is absolutely captivating not only because of Tarantino's marvellously creative direction but also his brilliant choice of music which creates the most unexpected impact on the audience. This CD is the original film soundtrack with 16 tracks plus the dialogue. Well, who can ever forget the violent ear-hacking torture scene accompanied by Stealers Wheel's delightful "Stuck In the Middle With You". Ingenious!

Let me just start this review by saying that THE only way I can listen to George Baker's LITTLE GREEN BAG is with Steven Wrights informative talk up at the beginning... "K Billy's Super sounds of the seventies weekend just keeps on rolling with this little diddy from 1971..."
While the CD itself may not always present itself so well at a party, with all of the dialougue mixed in, and the fact that you can't put it on shuffle if you want to enjoy the Steven Wright goodness, because the dialougue is seperated from the song tracks... this CD is still a party in itself... I've mixed every single one of these songs into various mixes...Steven Wright warm ups ARE essential, and a sure fire way to mix in some songs like HOOKED ON A FEELING or NILSONS' LIME IN THE COCONUT song! And don't forget STUCK IN THE MIDDLE! Awesome music! Party! Rock! Easy choice...
Best. Soundtrack. Ever. June 27, 2007
For any fan of the movie, the soundtrack for Reservoir Dogs constantly brings you back to those gut-wrenching and mind-blowing scenes from the movie.
A must have for any lover of the 70s or just the movie.
