This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
With apoligies to Quentin Tarantino: You know what the funniest thing about England is? It’s the little differences. I mean, they got the same stuff over there they got here — it’s just a little different.
Example: The soundtrack for this hypercool, Pulp Fiction-style heist flick from British director Guy Ritchie. You get the same sort of classic tracks from the likes of Iggy Pop (I Wanna Be Your Dog), James Brown (The Payback) and even Dusty Springfield (Spooky). You get the clipped, crackling snippets of dialogue. But you know what they put on this disc instead of surf music? Ska, noirish jazz and Brit-pop. Just substitute Stone Roses for Urge Overkill and Robbie Williams for Al Green and you’ve got a Royale With Extra Cheese.
