Commitments
The Commitments O.s.t.
Edition on 180-gram vinyl, including a 4-page insert. Alan Parker's adaptation of Roddy Doyle's crackerjack novel 'The Commitments' (1991) kept its focus on the classic American R&B and soul which the titular workingman band cranked out in pubs across Ireland. The book as well as the movie was about love of music, so it didn't matter that the soundtrack offered workmanlike versions of oldies the band and audience knew by heart. It was done with soul, so the film worked, as did the score.
