"for all of you who were extremely confused on which version of the soundtrack you wanted to buy (as I was ), there's hope. There are 3 versions...the american version, import from UK, and a version sold in India (the one I got). The american version has less songs ( a list of which can be obtained from the amazon site). The Import version has a few more songs ( a total of 22), but neither version has the Curtis Mayfield song. NOW, the INDIAN version which you can find by clicking on the icon for other price options under bend it like beckham import...you will see that under the seller's comment, it says 21 tracks...this is the Indian version. this version is not expensive at all and the case of the cd is one of those singles cases and yes, it does contain the Curtis Mayfield song. for the dilemma of which one to get, which one would get you the most songs...well, each version has a song (I think) that none of the other versions have. I think the UK import would be the one which is most complete in terms of songs, but it's also more expensive...but if I were to do it over again, I would have gotten the UK Import, even if I had to pay a about 10 more dollars. I personally loved the movie and so I had to have the soundtrack. But other than that, if I didn't have it to bring back memories of the movie, I would not have gotten it."

Can't get enough? Get the soundtrack!

"I am a HUGE fan of Jonathan Rhys Meyers and heard about this movie on his official site. When a friend of mine recently went on a trip to England and Ireland, she got me two of his movies that, at the time, were only available there. " Tangled" and "Bend It LIke Beckham" I was hooked on Bend It Like Beckham from the first and wanted MORE! So, I went online and found the soundtrack from an Indian music store and I have been blasting away ever since! So, if you want a soundtrack that helps you relive the glory of the movie through its' soundtrack, then this one is definitely for you!"

Great regardless of version - and there are 5 differences be

"This is a great soundtrack - found some Indian songs I'd never even heard of that I really like, especially "Jind Mahi" by Malkit Singh and "Tere Bin Nahin Lagda" by Partners In Rhyme with Nusrat Faten Ali.



Buyers should note that are indeed differences between the British (22 tracks) and Indian (21 tracks) versions. Make sure you order the one you really want by confirming with individual sellers about which edition they're actually selling. I myself ordered the British and received the Indian.



Here are the differences that really haven't been described accurately in previous reviews.



The British and American versions have these exclusive tracks:

Titles - Craig Pruess And Bally Sagoo Ft Gunjan

Hai Rabai - Craig Pruess And Bally Sagoo Ft Gunjan



The British version has this exclusive track:

Do Your Thing - Basement Jaxx



The Indian version has these exclusive tracks:

Move On Up - Curtis Mayfield

Rail Gaddi - Kuljit Bhamra



So basically there are five differences in total between the British and Indian versions while the American version is the most watered down."
