THE COMMITMENTS ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK LIMITED NUMBERED EDITION 25th Anniversary 180g WHITE/BLACK COLOURED vinyl NEW/SEALED PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A PRE-SALE. DUE FOR RELEASE 1st FEBRUARY. ALL ORDERS WILL BE DISPATCHED FROM THIS DATE Alan Parker's adaptation of Roddy Doyle's crackerjack novel The Commitments (1991) kept its focus on the music - the classic American R&B and Soul the titular workingman band cranked out in pubs across Ireland. As a book and film, The Commitments was all about love of music, so it didn't matter if the soundtrack offered workmanlike versions of oldies the band and audience knew by heart: as long as it was done with some soul, the film would work, and the soundtrack would too. In that sense, The Commitments were a cousin to the , John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd's tribute to the very same music but where Jake and Elwood managed to hire Stax's house band (such are the perks of stardom) , the group Parker assembled were working Irish musicians.
