The soundtrack for the 1984 blockbuster comedy Ghostbusters, which starred Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis as a New York-based team of spook exterminators, follows the most common soundtrack formula for summer blockbuster hits: throw on a bunch of pop songs that were heard in the movie only for a few seconds, combine them with a couple of excerpts from the original score, and -- voila! -- you have a soundtrack album. The highlights here are two tracks from Elmer Bernstein's score, Mick Smiley's "Magic," which played a major role in the film, and the witty Ray Parker, Jr. theme song, "Ghostbusters," which earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Song. ~ Evan CaterWhich CD - Performance 8 / Sound 8 CD Review - Performance 6 / Sound 7 CD Review Reader Consensus - Performance 8.5 / Sound 8.4

Very Good Collection for Ghostbusters fans! This CD is a must-have if you are really a fan of the Ghostbusters saga and fandom merchandise. Even if you have the tape of the original sountrack (released in about the year of 1986 or 87, way back)the music of the movie sounds even better on the CD format. The only flaws I found was that this version does not have/contain the lyrics of the songs like the type did. Or even pictures/photos of the movie. Other then that, this is a very good buy/purchase.
