Batman: Motion Picture Soundtrack by Prince (CD, Jun-1989, Warner Bros. Records Record Label)

I loved the music about prince and disliked some of his music, but i really liked batdance. I decided to buy it because I remember listensing to batdance as a kid.

This a rare album, that for some odd reason, has been swept under the rug for the past 20 years. All in all, this is one of the funkiest albums Prince released. If you are in the mood for Funk, and simply want a pice of work that makes you want to dance on the dining room table, then check this out.

from the opening "Future", to the insane in the membrane "Electric Chair", this album strikes a chord with the best of them. In the gothic threshold of Batman lies a vibrant Prince simply egging us into his world of funk, and I'm there witing with open arms. When "Lemon Crush" smashes home late in the album, we are all ready for the ultimate beatdown of "Batdance". This dance, groove funk, smashmouth, jive ensemble will reassure you that Prince can deliver, and does he ever on these licks.

If you consider Tim Burton's Batman a great movie, you should have both soundtracks. I am more into the score rather than the songs used in the film. So it may sound a little bias.

I'm not a Prince fan, nor did I listen to anything else he's done, but there was enough in the movie for me to say it's very good. After having watched the movie at least 10 times, (I had the VHS and it was on tv several times), the tracks still make me smile. Especially since they added some of the dialog from the movie, though some tracks had the dialog kept repeating was annoying.

My favorite tracks are:
4. Partyman
6. Trust

I'm not a music critic, so I won't judge the music, which makes this review kinda lame. But if you're a Prince fan or a fan of this movie, you'll enjoy it. My 2 favorite tracks listed above were just fun scenes in the movie. Also having only 9 tracks on an album is pathetic. If you can get this CD cheap, great; but if you have to pay more than $10US, you’re getting ripped off, unless you’re a die-hard fan who’s a “completist” when it comes to Prince or Batman. Just my opinion.

In case you're wondering, I gave a 3.5/5 rating, compared to the score soundtrack 4.5/5.

I purchased Batman Cd on eBay becuase I couldn't find it anywhere else. And the seller was still willing to accept a money order. The CD was new and sealed. It plays just fine.
But I will not buy from eBay again. Not because of the sellers. I would gladly buy from this seller again as long as I can use a money order to pay for it. But because eBay is now requiring buyers to use PayPal to purchase anything. Because of that I will no longer buy anything on eBay.

this seller did a fast tranaction with his sale. Would buy from him again.The product in comparison to other cd's I have bought was in great condition compare to other cd's that I have got from ebay.

GREAT OLD SKOOL! REMINDS ME OF MY CHILDHOOD. IF THE BAT WAS SOMETHING FROM YOUR YOUNGER DAYS YOU'LL LOVE THIS CD...................hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahhhhhhhhahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahhahahahahahaaaahhhhhhhhh- THE JOKER

The movie was great but I put off buying the soundtrack. Now I wish I had not bought it. It's a waste of time. The little you hear in the movie is more than enough. Glad his other CD's were better.

Nice Prince album alot of funk

If you ever have a batman party and you feel like gettin down play this album.

Play Partyman, Batdance, and Electric chair. If those jams don't get you goin then you just have dull people at your party.

Batman Rocks. What more can I say? The score in this selection is amazing, Elfman and Price both do an excellent job putting the sights and sounds of the motion picture into a musical master piece.

I really loved the cd. It was in excellent condition as well as the case of the cd. I wanted the cd because I love the movie and wanted to listen to the music while in the car. But my money was received on Aug 7 and didn't receive item until Aug 22.

Tremendous Prince Fan. I could not find the Batman CD in any stores. This CD was in GREAT condition. Would like to buy another one to keep unopened. Thank you so much.

This is a great Classic item that was a limited edition at the time. Prince at his best, a fabulous album. Comes in a collectors tin. A must for any prince fan.

CD was in fine condition. It played well and I got the song I need from it. I would buy again from this seller.

I decided tto buy this product because I knew from when I was younger I loved this album. It is one of Princes best. It has a lot of good old 80's sounds to it.
