At first glance, the "Dream a Little Dream" soundtrack was a track we thought we'd never hear again. After all, it was targeted at a miniscule audience: Corey Haim and Corey Feldman were a tag team aimed squarely at GenXers in the eighties. This soundtrack gave the movie a big boost of sophistication by getting away from the techno-hip-I-just-bought-a-new-synthesizer genre of the mid-eighties. The "Into the Mystic" track is a beautifully recorded acoustic by Van Morisson, an actual studio version that surpasses the one on his "greatest hits" album. Also adding some prestige to this album is Otis Redding's "I've Got Dreams to Remember." (This song really made the movie's most mental scene work.) This is a song we'd never remember to buy if we were browsing for something on the shelf: Sometimes a good album lures you into good music.
When it does play some of the music of its time, this soundtrack gives you two songs that stand for the good things about eighties music: End of the World by R.E.M. cooks the way it ought, and the lyrics of "Time Runs Wild" remind you just how tough it was to be a kid, which may (or may not) have been the theme of the movie. It finally combines the old and the new with its second version of "Dream a Little Dream", where a fifties-style singer duets with an eighties-type singer. The contrast is almost educational.
Let me sum up this soundtrack this way: I bought the cassette back in 1988 or so because it had R.E.M.'s "End of the World". That tape being history, I want the CD because of Van Morisson and Otis Redding. How's that for some sophistication?
Free Music Review: A great collection of songs

This soundtrack contains some awesome songs, but a few crappy ones too. The two versions of Dream A Little Dream are great, but the first one is better just because Mickey Thomas is a much better singer than Mel Torme (in my opinion). Then again, I am a big 80's fan, so 50's fans will probably disagree. "Whenever There's A Night" is an awesome power ballad by former Loverboy lead singer Mike Reno, and it is my favorite song on the CD. You'd Better Wait and Never Turn Away are two more great songs with a really fun 80's feel. The REM song is also cool and upbeat. The Otis Redding song is pretty bad, though, and so is Dreams Come True. Nevertheless, this album is definately worth a listen.Free Music Review: A must soundtrack. An 80's special

I watched this film a couple of years ago on VHS and loved the soundtrack. After searching for a long time, I managed to find a copy at a record fair and loved the content. For anyone who grew up in the eighties, this is your typical type soundtrack filled with power rock ballads. Do not hesitate to purchase this item
