Editorial Reviews

Sonny and Cher appear as themselves in Good Times, the 1967 spoof of various genres; including mysteries, westerns and spy thrillers. The soundtrack features new songs written by Sonny, as well as two new recordings of their #1 hit, 'I Got You Babe' (a Pet Sounds in an elevator version and a comic acoustic version). The album also features two bonus tracks: The single edit of 'It's The Little Things,' and the rare single 'Plastic Man'. The album will be released in the original Mono version.

Good Times: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by Sonny and Cher

Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2016

Verified Purchase

I was listening to this soundtrack today, and was hoping "It's the Little Things" would have better sound. on "the Beat Goes On: the Best of Sonny and Cher", as Cher starts singing the lyric "you're not the smartest man", the tape starts dropping in and out. this CD reissue of the 1967 film soundtrack made the song sound a little bit better. it wasn't perfect, but I found it sounding better than on the 1991 Rhino best of CD release. this is a fun soundtrack to listen to.

Major Disappointment!

Very bad sound quality. I do not own previous versions of this on CD but I hope they sound better than this. If you have a previous version...beware, this will NOT be an upgrade I'm sure. More likely a downgrade. Very disappointing. I believe when this initially showed up on Amazon it did say remaster, then that was no longer listed. After that, I assumed it was a remaster and was wrong. I will stick to my LP to disc copies (both mono and stereo) which are MUCH better.

A poor reproduction of the original lp.

Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2009

This cd by one way records seems to have had an inferior translation. I listen to the lp,especially the stereo version,and sonically it is far superior.
I am sorry for this fact as I get very excited when I saw it available. Glad it is out there,but remastering is a big thud!
Lovely Bono compositons here though!

I recently bought the movie on a 3 dvd/ set. So I decided to get the album to add to my My Sonny & Cher/Cher music collection. The songs are pretty OK. Typical 60's stuff. I ordered one then I thought I'd canceled the order. But didn't. and ordered from somebody else. come to find out when it was too late to cancel. I had ordered two. But this one was cheap. I think $2.95

Sonny & Cher’s soundtrack outshines their film

Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2016

The most notable element of Sonny & Cher’s 1967 film Good Times wasn’t the duo’s move into acting, the skit-based humor or even the meta-conceptual plot of a movie about making a movie. The film’s most lasting contribution to the arts was the introduction of William Friedkin as a mainstream director. Friedkin had been directing documentaries, but it was this collaboration with Sonny Bono that launched his feature filmmaking career. The film is an interesting lark, capturing mid-60s mood, design and a bit of artistic ennui, but without the acidic bite of Head . The original eight-song soundtrack gave Bono a chance to stretch out, and added several excellent titles to the Sonny & Cher catalog.

Leading off is a waltz-time instrumental version of the duo’s signature “I Got You Babe,” a title that appears again at the soundtrack’s end in a fetching acoustic arrangement. In between is Sonny’s perfectly self-deprecating “It’s the Little Things” in all its proto-Spectorian grandeur, its B-side Cher showcase “Don’t Talk to Strangers,” the sultry B-side “I’m Gonna Love You” (originally released as a Cher solo on Imperial in 1965), and several songs lifted from the soundtrack with lead-in dialogue. The latter include the stage-hall styled title tune and another of Sonny’s self-deprecating, average-guy love songs, “Just a Name.”

The bonus tracks include the single “Plastic Man” and its B-side edit of “It’s the Little Things.” The latter shortens the album track by dropping the middle stanza of the refrain. Earlier reissues have included only the edited version, so the full album take turns out to be the real bonus. Varese has used the true mono master, unlike One Way’s 1999 reissue , and though quite listenable, the fidelity still isn’t the best that the era offered. Friedkin’s original liners are included alongside new notes by Larry R. Watts, rounding out an obscure entry in Sonny and Cher’s catalog, but one that harbors several top-notch tunes.

"Dance and sing and raise your glass; Drink to the good times and hope my friend...that they last..."

Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2013

GOOD TIMES (1967) was a first feature film for its stars Cher and Sonny Bono and director William Friedkin ( THE EXORCIST ). The movie seems ad lib or slapdash and so it was. Pre-production remarks like "I wanna be a sheriff," or "I'd play a gangster's moll" became script points. Cher designed her own wardrobe, and the results are, to be kind, "original." The loose plot, surrealism and way-out threads were all manifestations of the "anything for fun" '60s mentality that counterbalanced dead serious concerns about foreign wars and injustices at home.

"Good Times" the movie is an anachronism, and so is this ATCO soundtrack (SD 33-214). Included here are good-sized dollops of dialogue and extremely primitive stereo mixes. As cover art reveals, back then the former Miss Cheryl Sarkisian spelled her first name with "accent aigu over the 'E'," to misquote the great Dukenfield. Seeing these two happily together leaves a yearning in any S&C fan's heart for the "Good Times."

SIDE ONE NOTES
1.) Title sequence orchestral track opens briefly and closes with girl singers. 2.) Cher sounds great at the top of this fine rock ballad. Sonny handles the middle section and there's a short baritone sax solo. 3.) This Western sheriff film segment (see front cover photo) has Sonny, then Cher, performing the title song. A strange audio mix pushes all instruments off to the left with vocals at center. 4.) A Sonny slow number that starts with movie dialogue. Cher's part of the song is a contrasting melody. When Sonny returns for their duet it becomes yet another song, one in which they daydream about experiences they'd enjoy having.

SIDE TWO NOTES
1.) Totally Cher, totally lovely. 2.) Another for her, this time quite bluesy. 3.) Angry fight dialogue included here may symbolically represent struggles that director Friedkin suggests in liner notes occurred during the shoot. After Sonny rides off on a motorcycle, Cher sings of her devotion to him. Of course, at the end Sonny expresses the same feelings for Cher. 4.) A gently romantic version of their hit song features Spanish-style acoustic guitar and chimes. It's a lovely album closer.

SIDE ONE
[4:48] I Got You Babe (Opening Scene Instrumental)
[3:31] It's the Little Things
[5:15] Good Times
[4:40] Trust Me

SIDE TWO
[2:43] Don't Talk to Strangers
[2:33] I'm Gonna Love You
[6:28] Just a Name
[2:15] I Got You Babe

TOTAL TIME: 32:13
