Original Soundtrack - Pretty Woman (CD 1990)

Really Good! Definately Recommend to any one good for any sort of mood! awesome album. Love pretty woman!

The reason I decided to buy this particular CD from ebay was because I was unable to find a web site which would allow me to download the "Fallen" track by Lauren Wood . . . . therefore ebay was the next port of call.

Pure Hollywood fluff story that is so smart and sports such a dynamite cast that it becomes one of the more wonderful films of the period. "Pretty Woman" is pop culture at its finest as Julia Roberts (in an Oscar-nominated, icon-making role) is a prostitute on the mean streets of Los Angeles who gets a big financial break one night when she meets up with cold, but lonely business guru Richard Gere. They immediately create a bond and have a night of passion which soon becomes a week-long partnership with Gere and Roberts posing as love interests (and of course $3000 is involved as well). Could it be possible that Roberts, a lady with a heart of gold in spite of her background, is just the thing Gere has been needing in his life? A trumped-up adult-oriented version of "Cinderella" is probably the best way to describe "Pretty Woman". The old Hollywood story gets a glossy new look thanks to director Garry Marshall (doing arguably his finest film-making work). Gere and Roberts make for one of the more attractive pairs the cinema has ever seen. They just shine beacons of light on one another it seems. The fact that both are very good performers definitely enhance their appearances though. A smashing soundtrack and that vivid 1980s style (even though this was released in 1990) make "Pretty Woman" one of the big winners of the last few years. 4 stars out of 5.

I am a huge fan of Go West and love their song King Of Wishful Thinking. At all Go West concertsthey always ask if anyone has seen the film Pretty Woman before playing the song!!
I also like lots of the other songs on the Cd but King Of Wishful Thinking was the main reason for my purchase.
