Eddie & the Cruisers: The Unreleased Tapes

I hate to write a review like this but after all these years of loving this band, some record producer was trying to make a buck by slapping together movie tracks as a story line with some music which takes away from the songs.

This is like the same attempt they made with the 2nd movie. Bad story, different actors, and good music is not a good mix.

Get this for the music, put it on your Ipod, and delete all of the movie tracks. Then it's awsome!

Eddie & the Cruisers: The Unreleased Tapes

Date undefined

If you have followed and enjoyed the movies chronicling the fictional rock band, Eddie and the Cruisers - Eddie and the Cruisers (1983) & Eddie and the Cruisers II: Eddie Lives (1989) - then the CD may be a means to bring the story to an audio conclusion.

Issued in 1991, it is the "unreleased tapes" that was a major part of the storyline in the first movie. John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band again portray Eddie and the Cruisers, but these recordings have a more unpolished sound of a demo tape, in an obvious way to closely follow the movie scripts.

For the uninitiated, the 49 seconds of Eddie's Confession will be nothing short of puzzling, since it explains the major mystery which would only be known by watching the movies. And with the total running time of a few ticks under 30 minutes, this may ultimately be an unsatisfying game of lost and found.
