With a soundtrack that\u2019s almost as recognizable as the film that spawned it, the music of Dirty Dancing has gone on to be one of the most enduring collections to come out of the \u201980s. While various versions have been reissued with bonus material over the years since the film\u2019s release in 1987, the compilation has been restored to its original 12 tracks for Dirty Dancing: The Deluxe Anniversary Edition. Released to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the movie, the soundtrack is presented with the same sequencing as the original from 1987. The hook with this edition, however, comes from the packaging, which features liner notes written by the soundtrack\u2019s producers, offering insight into the selection of classic songs like \u201c(I\u2019ve Had) The Time of My Life\u201d and \u201cShe\u2019s Like the Wind.\u201d Musically, this deluxe edition doesn\u2019t offer anything that the myriad reissues of Dirty Dancing\u2019s soundtrack don\u2019t already have, but for die-hard fans of the film and its music, the new perspectives on the film and its music, as well as the nicer packaging and included film stills, might make this a worthy replacement for the copies of the original that they wore out long ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
