Rumble Fish: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Reviews:
Fantastic 
2007-01-24 - I recently saw the movie for the first time, which I thought was fantastic. Couldn't get the soundtrack out of my head for the next several days, so I decided I had to buy it. Got it on iTunes for $9.99, as one of the other reviewers suggested, and it was easy to burn to CD from there. Definitely don't pay what these people are asking, even though the soundtrack is so good, it would be worth it, if there was no other alternative.
a fantastic soundtrack from a fantastic person.
2006-12-12 - Hey folks.this is a really great soundtrack,just do yourself a favor and do not pay the overinflated prices that these people want for the cd in the z-shops.just download i-tunes,go to the i-tunes store,and do a search for this record.it is only $9.99,and no different from what the z-shops are selling.Enjoy!
The Search for the Rumble Fish Soundtrack
2005-05-31 - When the "Rumble Fish" movie came out, I was very excited to see it. But even more, I looked forward to hearing the soundtrack upon knowing that it was by Stewart Copeland. Recognizing his name alone as being the drummer in the Police, I made up my mind to buy it without even knowing what it would sound like. I knew it would be good because it would feature his brilliant percussion. I used to listen to my vinyl record all the time--especially with headphones. Unlike other reviewers though, mine didn't wear out. :) It's very rare to hear and enjoy an album cover to cover; this one flows extremely well. It's even better to know that Francis Ford Coppola preferred to make movies like this and "The Outsiders" rather than the Godfather trilogies. (info from "Inside the Actors Studio") Can you believe that?! See Rumble Fish and treat yourself to the soundtrack--it's phenomenal.
One of the most unique film scores of all time.
2003-10-18 - Like apparently many other people, I purchased the soundtrack in 1983 on the strength of Stewart Copeland's name (and some rave reviews of the soundtrack), without having seen the movie. And, like many others, I wore out my vinyl album and had to buy the cassette, etc. It's that good. The music is unique, but very approachable.
My personal favorite track is the bluesy "Our Mother is Alive"; it's both desperately sad and somehow optimistic. The other top track is "Brothers on Wheels", which famously incorporates the sound of a ticking clock and an industrial pile-driver into the percussion, backing up a bouncy acoustic-guitar melody. But even the "happy" tracks are tinged with sadness.
I eventually did see the movie, and I do love it, but be warned: The score itself is actually way undermixed. At times you can barely hear it, which seems like an unconscionable choice on the filmmakers' part. The movie also uses alternate versions of some tracks, so even if you already own the video, do yourself a favor and buy the soundtrack on CD.
Desert Island Pick
2003-01-12 - I watched this movie eight times before I realized that it was more for the music than anything else. I bought the soundtrack on vinyl and wore that out. I bought it again on cassette and wore that one out in my Walkman. Get the CD - now.
