Typical 80's era pop soundtrack with a few AOR gems

"What could possibly make the soundtrack album to the 1991 movie Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead noteworthy? Scattered among the typical 80's era soundtrack pop songs (Modern English, Beat Goes Bang, etc.) are three otherwise unreleased AOR/melodic rock gems - "Perfect World" by Alias, "What She Don't Know" by Flame, and "Keep the Faith" by Valentine. Each of these bands released a single album and then disappeared, so this otherwise unremarkable soundtrack is worth seeking out just for those three non-album tracks. The soundtrack also features one of the only solo recordings by Lorraine Lewis of Femme Fatale.



It isn't a must-have soundtrack like Iron Eagle or Navy Seals: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, but if you're a fan of the late 80's/early 90's melodic rock scene, Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead offers a few real gems that make it worth picking up...if you can find a copy.
