Great CD - My Wife's Favorite,
July 17, 2005 Robert Alan Bryan "JettBlackBerryX" (Waldorf, Maryland USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: China Beach (Audio CD)
My wife owned a cassette of this soundtrack. When I married her she asked me to find it on CD. [This was before amazon.com's new and used store I think]. [...] I also found a RARE Promo CD of the Katrina & The Waves cover song.
This CD goes with us when we travel. It's one of her Top Ten CDs.
Their are sound effects leading into some of the songs [Like the added helicopter opening to "Reflections"]. The effects don't take away from the emotions this show can bring back.
The dialogues by real Vietnam Vets is short but very emotional.
[this is NOT dialogue by the actors]
I think this could easily have been a much longer CD [and it should have]. How ironic is it that I find a Volume 2 as an Australian issue CD?
Sadly this show is not yet on DVD. There is a campaign to get it out there.

China Beach Soundtrack,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: China Beach (Audio CD)
I bought this CD in 1990 (approx) by accident. I absolutely love this CD. If you are from the 60-70's you will relate to each and every track on this CD. It brings back the memories, all the sights & sounds from when we were young. The track that Dana Delany sings, 'Far from home' will tear at your heartstrings. Please give it try, you will like it. I wish the Classic radio stations would play it.

What happened to the theme music on the China Beach CD?,
November 23, 2005 James Campbell - See all my reviews
This review is from: China Beach (Audio CD)
I loved the China Beach series, and I watch it every time it is on TV. I loved the theme music. The show always ended with it, and it would play at certain times during the show. The CD has NO theme music. That was the only reason I bought the China Beach CD. John Sacret Young and Artie Ripp made a big mistake by not having a lot of the theme music on the CD. The only thing that half-way saves the CD is Dana Delaney's song, "Far from Home". I am now waiting for the series to come out on DVD just so I can hear the theme music!!
