| Professional Review: |
| Unavailable on CD in the U.S., this is the soundtrack to Dennis Hopper's 1969 film about drifters Hopper and Peter Fonda motorcycling across America. This is a reissue on MCA of the original soundtrack, but with different cover art. 10 tracks, including classics from Steppenwolf, the Byrds, Jimi Hendrix, Roger McGuinn, the Electric Prunes and more! Both the original 1969 soundtrack & this 1976 reissue are MCA releases. |

 Written on February 20, 2007 Summary: Mother Earth will swallow you... Before the soundtrack was issued on CD in the states, only this German import was available. Boasting some superb period tracks like the Byrds' "Wasn't Born To Follow" and Hendrix's "If 6 was 9" alongside some harder to find stuff like the Electric Prunes' "Kyrie Eleison" and Roger McGuinn's version of Bob Dylan's "It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)," it's easy to overlook some of the omissions and flaws. Of course there's the substituted version of "The Weight," not a bad version at all really. Sound quality-wise, it sounds like a lot of early unremastered CD re-issues. That is, not great. But not terrible either. Audiophiles take heed and run screaming for the pricier re-issue, which is bulked out with more "period" music (which, honestly, is really nice as a "value add-on" but does nothing for the soundtrack since most of these extra songs weren't featured in the film and are thus just a post-summer of love pastiche). An interesting sidenote: The closing track, McGuinn's "Ballad Of Easy Rider," (a different mix than the version recorded by the Byrds) was originally going to be Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's "Find The Cost Of Freedom." Apparently Dennis Hopper wasn't into it at the time, so the song became CSNY's longstanding show-closer instead.  Written on March 16, 2006 Summary: chopper rock This landmark album launched the whole Harley Davidson biker movement. It features great tracks from most of the heavyweights of the day. It introduced America to the "chopper" motorcycle which was almost unknown outside of the west coast and the whole nomadic motorcycle outlaw culture that went with it. My favorite is "kyrie Elison" by the Electric Prunes but every song is memorable. Written on July 25, 2005 Summary: To old D.H. Lawrence. The soundtrack of Easy Rider is in many ways an important one.It was one of the first films to use rock music as a base for film.That would have been just nice if the songs weren't great,but fortunately the songs themselves are great.It contains the ultimate biker song "Born To Be Wild" as well as Hendrix's classic "If 6 Was 9". There's one strange thing about this soundtrack though.The song "The Weight" from The Band isn't sung by The Band but by Smith which makes it less interresting to listen to.And there are songs from Bob Dylan that are sung by Roger McGuinn,it is said that Dylan didn't like the ending of the movie and therefore didn't want to have his voice on the soundtrack. Anyway,despite these points it truly is a great album.The lesser known songs are just as great,listen to "Wasn't Born To Follow" and "Kyrie Eleison" for some great psychedelic sound.The two absurd tracks "Bird" and "Bogart" are very funny,but are even funnier when you see the movie. A soundtrack classic that everyone should own. Written on December 15, 2004 Summary: Works... in combination with "The Trip" Contains _most_ of the music from the film. But is missing one key track: "Flash, Bam, Pow" by Electric Flag (played in the film as Wyatt and Billy ride away from New Orleans after the LSD sequence and before Wyatt concludes, "We blew it" during the final campfire scene). The missing Electric Flag track can be found only on the CD soundtrack to "The Trip" -- a Peter Fonda film written by Jack Nicholson which itself contains some pretty cool music.
