Along with American Graffiti, released in 1983, The Wanderers boasts one of the best soundtracks featuring American pop and rock n’ roll music ever released. While Graffiti focussed on teenage High School students however, The Wanderers takes to the streets. Set in the Bronx, New York, 1963, rock n’ roll is giving way to pure pop and Kennedy has been assassinated. Tensions, divisions and the popularity of the navy signal that times they are a changin’. Packed with hits from the period by artists such as The Four Seasons, The Shirelles, The Contours and Dion, the Wanderers is a great reminder of the film’s spirit. While not being as substantial as the soundtrack for Graffiti with its double disc offering, The Wanderers, provides a slightly more rebellious, edgy play list, that discards the letterman sweaters and slips on the leather.
