Sad To See It Go: No

The soundtrack for the third film in the Porky's series that I had outgrown after the first one had a whose who of British Rock Royalty and the things that influenced them.  

I talked about George Harrison's version of Dylan's throwaway "I Don't Want To Do It" when I wrote about his bootleg with a gazillion versions on it several months back.  It was the track I bought this soundtrack for in the closeout bin Columbia House had, if memory serves me correctly.

Mostly this is a covers record the way you'd think British legends would handle a soundtrack toss off in the mid 80's.  Edmunds does "Do You Wanna Dance," Beck does "Sleepwalk," Willie does "Love Me Tender," The Robert Plant led Crawling King Snakes do Charlie Rich's "Philadelphia Baby," Fabulous Thunderbirds go for "Stagger Lee"  and quality wise the best of the lot is Clarence Clemmons take of the "Peter Gunn Theme."  Carl Perkins is backed by the Stray Cats Rocker and Phantom for a bad to the future "Blue Suede Shoes."  

Dave Edmunds, being producer has the most tracks.  He opens with "High School Nights" is totally 80's meets everything else fashion and his "Queen of the Hop" as well as the theme song closer with session guys from the Allmans, Santana and Graham Parker.

Looks better on paper.  Played once and filed away in 1986 and did the same yesterday.
