Advantages: spanner- waving- top -tune -fest

Disadvantages: one not worth a mention, it is so trivial.

This is one of the coolest soundtracks ever. It really captures the spirit of the movie, like other Tarantino soundtracks the music is an integral part of the film, not just background filling. So when you listen to the songs on this album they are already coloured by scenes from pulp fiction.

When you listen to the song that Vincent and Mrs Wallis danced the twist to at Jack Rabbit Slims (chuck Berry - You Never Can Tell) it makes you want to twist along, just like they did.

This was my favourite album to listen to when I used to be an appliance engineer.

I spent many a happy hour swaggering about the workshop in my boiler suit waving my ratchet threateningly at any washer that wanted to start any trouble. Eating lots of burgers and imagining my life was a lot more interesting than it really was.

There is a real mix of styles here. Old hits like Al Greens wonderfully smoochy "lets stay together" and Dusty Springfields soulfoul "son of a preacher man" side by side with top tunes from unlikely sources, Urge Overkills cover of "Girl You'll be a woman soon" is dark and haunting and Kool and the Gangs "Jungle Boogie" is a wild song that makes you want to go crazy on a rainy monday morning driving to work..

Long after the dust has settled over the film, this album will still be worth playing LOUD.

You can also scare your neighbours by playing Jules "Ezekial" speech loudly in the early hours of the morning. What Fun!
