As a story, "The History Boys" makes for a pretty good play, and an artistically successful movie. Unfortunately, I'm reviewing the soundtrack, and that's another story entirely. The movie/play storyline takes place in the early `80s, so naturally, the lion's share of the soundtrack is extracted from that era. The band representations are good and at times, even surprising; you'd expect to see New Order, the Pretenders, Echo & the Bunnymen and the Clash in a mid-eighties period piece, but adding Aztec Camera ("Walk Out to Winter") and Pigbag ("Papa's Got a Brand New Pigbag") are an inspired touch. While the band selections are spot-on, the tracks leave a bit to be desired; the Clash are represented here by the lame `dub' version of "Rock the Casbah", entitled "Mustapha Dance," and the Pretenders track is their Christmas tune, "2000 Miles." Worse, these recordings are interspersed with tired reproductions of Tin Pan Alley tunes, such as "Bewitched" (which appears twice) and "Bye Bye Blackbird." The result is, at best, uneven and inconsistent. If you love the movie, you'll enjoy the soundtrack. Otherwise, simply rent the DVD. C+TOM RYAN
See This Film & Buy This Soundtrack January 2, 2007
Seeing this film was a real delight. It's not often in our superficial society that we get to see men have authentic conversations about sexual desires.
The music; I can't say enough about the music as it thrust me right back to my college days as a DJ with The Smiths, The Clash, Echo & The Bunnymen; it is awesome music appropos for the time and this story.
What a journey!

My first review after MANY purchases, but this CD inspired me to write. I saw the movie tonight and loved it! Came home to see if there was a soundtrack available and finding it so, purchased it immediately. I haven't listened to the whole thing through, but the samples provided enough to leave me wanting more....again and again. I am also delighted to see original songs included, as performed by the actors. That smilin' amazon box can't get here soon enough. An absolutely delicious movie and soundtrack. Well done and Cheers!
