Grand Theft Auto San Andreas Official Soundtrack Box Set LIKE NEW 8 CD's (Set 5)

Description: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas soundtrack This soundtrack is more sought-after than ever since many of the songs have been deleted from the game due to expired licensing! Part of the pleasure of Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto games is that they create their own world filled with clever, imaginative details, and one of the most obvious and satisfying of those details is the radio stations they create for their GTA games. It's not just that there's a variety of stations covering different genres, it's that the song selection is sharp and endlessly listenable -- which is a big bonus if you're going to spend hours listening to these stations as you complete game missions. San Andreas, their 2004 installment of the series, it the most ambitious yet, recreating the Southern California of the early '90s, starting in a re-creation of Los Angeles and then expanding to variations on Las Vegas and San Francisco. The music to the game is similarly sprawling, not just covering the omnipresent gangsta rap and grunge of 1991/1992, but also classic soul, reggae, classic rock, new jack swing, classic hip-hop, and country. There are many hits here, but what brings these stations to life is that each has some idiosyncratic selections, choosing songs that aren't widely heard on the radio, whether it's such album tracks as David Bowie's "Somebody Up There Likes Me" or such country gems as Jerry Reed's "Amos Moses." Both of these appear in the game, but the accompanying eight-disc box set soundtrack only contains the latter, presumably due to licensing restrictions. There are a few other songs that appear in the game that aren't here, but this isn't a set for music collectors, it's a set for fans of the game who want enough of the highlights from each of the stations so they can re-create the gaming experience in their own, real-life cars (well, at least the driving aspect of it, anyway). On that level, this works tremendously well, since each of the eight discs is well sequenced and well chosen and represents its genre well. Plus, the packaging -- the size of a DVD, not CD, box set -- is very attractive and would fit nicely next to the games on the shelves, making this a cool collector's item for hardcore GTA fanatics. Why would you want a box set of an old video game? That isn't the question. The question you should be asking yourself is who do you know that loves music? Because this box set is one of the most incredible collections of great music you could purchase. Throw these CD's in someone you loves CD changer in their car and watch their eyes light up. My favorites? Playback FM, CSR 103.9, K-Jah...they're all just amazing. It's the greatest collection of mix CD's ever made!

Exsorbeo Handheld Gaming System The soundtrack of the computer and video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, which is set in 1992 in the fictional U.S. West Coast state of San Andreas, required that the game's radio stations reflect the music tastes of the time and area, in addition to covering current events in the state of San Andreas, and even weather forecasts. Together with several pieces of early-1990s music, the soundtrack also included songs from the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Many of the songs interpolate or sample other songs which feature in this or other GTA titles, such as Ice Cube's "Check Yo Self", which samples "The Message", which was featured in Vice City or "Weekend" which appears in its original form on Paradise FM in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. Primarily, the player hears the radio when the protagonist acquires a vehicle. The player is also given the option of listening to the radio stations "out of game" by calling up the game's Audio Options. The station that will be playing when the player gets into a vehicle is determined by several factors, and players can change it or switch it off as desired (or set the game so the last station heard by the player will be playing when a new vehicle is obtained). The only vehicles in which the player cannot access the radio are the emergency and police vehicles (which use the police scanner), tractors, bicycles, forklifts, the Bandito sandrail, and certain boats. Radio stations, or some of the songs featured on them, can also be heard in the background in certain locations, such as bars, clothing stores, clubs, casinos, and safehouse wardrobes. The Xbox and PC versions of the game allow the player to create their own custom radio stations with user imported tracks. However, unlike previous GTA titles, which also offered this feature, San Andreas can place commercials between tracks. The game offers a few firsts for its soundtrack. One change made it necessary for why the game can place commercials in between the tracks: the player now hears news breaks at certain points during game progress. The news break that plays depends on where the player is in the story. This is later used for Grand Theft Auto IV's Weasel News. Similarly (and more frequently) some DJs can also be heard announcing the arrival of weather systems such as fog and thunderstorms which occur randomly in San Andreas. Another change was that the stations were now uncensored, and unlike previous entries in the series, words like the f word and s word were used on the stations without consequence, whereas in the past, DJ's scolded callers for using such language. Finally, at certain points in the game, the game changes the scripts for all of the stations, making them dynamic. This usually occurs when a player unlocks a new major island in the game. This last change has yet to be reimplemented in later GTA games, thus making it an exclusive feature to San Andreas. The official soundtrack, available on Interscope Records, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Official Soundtrack and the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Official Soundtrack Box Set collection were released internationally on November 23, 2004 and December 7, 2004 respectively. Michael Hunter is the composer of the theme song and incidental music. The following is a list of radio stations and songs that are featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Bounce FM DJ: The Funktipus Genre: Disco Tracklist: Zapp - "I Can Make You Dance" Kool & the Gang - "Hollywood Swinging" Ohio Players - "Love Rollercoaster" Rick James - "Cold Blooded" Maze - "Twilight" Fatback Band - "Yum Yum (Gimme Some)" The Isley Brothers - "Between the Sheets" (Radio Edit: Ends at 3:35) Ronnie Hudson & The Street People - "West Coast Poplock" Lakeside - "Fantastic Voyage" George Clinton - "Loopzilla" Dazz Band - "Let It Whip" Cameo - "Candy" MFSB - "Love Is The Message" Ohio Players - "Funky Worm" Johnny Harris - "Odyssey" Roy Ayers - "Running Away" The Gap Band - "You Dropped a Bomb on Me" Summary: Bounce FM is a funk radio station hosted by The Funktipus (voiced by George Clinton) Surprisingly, WCTR's Area 53's host, Marvin Trill, calls into Bounce FM foolishly thinking that 'The Party Ship' (Bounce's sub-heading/nickname) is a genuine space ship, asking how to get on it. Contemporary Soul Radio, CSR-103.9 DJ: Phillip "PM" Michaels Genre: Pop Tracklist: SWV - "I'm So Into You" Soul II Soul - "Keep on Movin'" Samuelle - "So You Like What You See" Johnny Gill - "Rub You the Right Way" (Remix) Ralph Tresvant - "Sensitivity" Guy - "Groove Me" Aaron Hall - "Don't Be Afraid" Boyz II Men - "Motownphilly" Bell Biv DeVoe - "Poison" Today - "I Got the Feeling" Wreckx-n-Effect - "New Jack Swing" Bobby Brown - "Don't Be Cruel" En Vogue - "My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It)" Summary: Contemporary Soul Radio (CSR 103.9) is a new jack swing radio station hosted by Phillip "PM" Michaels (voiced by Michael Bivins). Michaels is an extremely self-obsessed character who believes that he is the next big star, despite his entertainment career having very limited success. The game's "Audio" screen and instruction manual refer to this station as CSR 103:2. K-DST "The Dust" DJ: Tommy "The Nightmare" Smith Genre: Hard Rock Tracklist: Foghat - "Slow Ride" Creedence Clearwater Revival - "Green River" Heart - "Barracuda" Kiss - "Strutter" Toto - "Hold The Line" Rod Stewart - "Young Turks" Joe Cocker - "Woman to Woman" Tom Petty - "Runnin' Down a Dream" Humble Pie - "Get Down to It" Grand Funk Railroad - "Some Kind of Wonderful" Lynyrd Skynyrd - "Free Bird" (Radio Edit: Ends at 5:30) The Who - "Eminence Front" America - "A Horse With No Name" Boston - "Smokin'" David Bowie - "Somebody Up There Likes Me" Eddie Money - "Two Tickets to Paradise" Billy Idol - "White Wedding" Audioslave - "Cochise" Summary: K-DST "The Dust" is a classic rock station originating in San Fierro and hosted by Tommy "The Nightmare" Smith (voiced by Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose), former frontman for the fictional 70s progressive rock band, Crystal Ship, which is also the title of a song by The Doors. Smith is surprisingly calm and constantly reminds the listeners about the 1970s and the classic "rock n roll" lifestyle. He dislikes Sage, the Radio X DJ, telling her to "get over it!" during the intro to Tom Petty's "Runnin' Down a Dream". In one broadcast, Tommy "The Nightmare" Smith says that, "all we need is patience, I said it before and I'll say it again," probably referring to the Guns N' Roses song "Patience." K-Jah West DJ: Marshall Peters and Johnny Lawton Genre: Reggae Tracklist: Black Harmony - "Don't Let It Go To Your Head" Blood Sisters - "Ring My Bell" Shabba Ranks - "Wicked Inna Bed" Buju Banton - "Batty Rider" Augustus Pablo - "King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown" Dennis Brown - "Revolution" Willie Williams - "Armagideon Time" I-Roy - "Sidewalk Killer" Toots & the Maytals - "Funky Kingston" Dillinger - "Cocaine In My Brain" Toots & the Maytals - "Pressure Drop" Pliers - "Bam Bam" Barrington Levy - "Here I Come" Reggie Stepper - "Drum Pan Sound" Black Uhuru - "Great Train Robbery" Max Romeo & The Upsetters - "I Chase The Devil" Summary: K-Jah West is a reggae radio station hosted by Marshall Peters & Johnny Lawton (voiced by Lowell Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare respectively).

Mary-Beth has been married numerous times, many of her husbands having died under suspicious circumstances; she also demonstrates an ability to play the harmonica with her vagina. Oddly, the track New York City was not listed in the included booklet guide for the first PS2 version. It was however included in later versions. Master Sounds 98.3 DJ: Johnny "The Love Giant" Parkinson Genre: Groove Tracklist: Charles Wright & the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band - "Express Yourself" Maceo & The Macks - "Cross The Tracks (We Better Go Back)" Harlem Underground Band - "Smokin' Cheeba Cheeba" The Chakachas - "Jungle Fever" Bob James - "Nautilus" Booker T. & the M.G.'s - "Green Onions" The Blackbyrds - "Rock Creek Park" Bobby Byrd - "Hot Pants" James Brown - "Funky President" Lyn Collins - "Rock Me Again and Again" Maceo & The Macks - "Soul Power '74" Bobby Byrd - "I Know You Got Soul" James Brown - "The Payback" Lyn Collins - "Think (About It)" The J.B.'s - "The Grunt" War - "Low Rider" Gloria Jones - "Tainted Love" Sir Joe Quarterman & Free Soul - "So Much Trouble In My Mind" Summary: Master Sounds 98.3 is a San Fierro based rare groove radio station hosted by Johnny "The Love Giant" Parkinson (voiced by Ricky Harris). Despite his nickname, it is implied that he is quite short in stature and is possibly a dwarf. Notable of this station is that all of the songs in its playlist have been sampled by Hip-Hop songs. Playback FM DJ: Forth Right MC Genre: Hip Hop Tracklist: Kool G Rap & DJ Polo - "Road To The Riches" Big Daddy Kane - "Warm It Up, Kane" Spoonie Gee - "The Godfather" Masta Ace - "Me & The Biz" Slick Rick - "Children's Story" Public Enemy - "Rebel Without a Pause" Eric B. & Rakim - "I Know You Got Soul" Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock - "It Takes Two" Gang Starr - "B.Y.S." Biz Markie - "The Vapors" Brand Nubian - "Brand Nubian" Ultramagnetic MCs - "Critical Beatdown" Summary: Hosted by self-righteous conspiracy theorist Forth Right MC (voiced by Chuck D), Playback FM plays classic old school style rap from the Golden age hip hop. The Host is disliked by its listeners, as evident from the station callers and from Julio G (the DJ of Radio Los Santos), stating that "the station plays great music but the DJ is whack". This station was released on a joint album with Radio Los Santos. Despite the old-school designation, the tracks range from 1987 all the way up to 1992, the era the game is set. Radio Los Santos DJ: Julio G Genre: Hip Hop Tracklist: 2pac (feat. Pogo) - "I Don't Give a ****" Compton's Most Wanted - "Hood Took Me Under" Dr. Dre (feat. Snoop Dogg) - "Nuthin' But a "G" Thang" Too $hort - "The Ghetto" N.W.A - "Alwayz Into Somethin'" Ice Cube (feat.

Snoop Dogg & RBX) - "**** Wit Dre Day" (Radio Edit: Ends at 3:53) The D.O.C. - "It's Funky Enough" N.W.A - "Express Yourself" Ice Cube - "It Was A Good Day" Eazy-E - "Eazy-Er Said Than Dunn" Above The Law - "Murder Rap" Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg - "Deep Cover" Da Lench Mob (feat. Ice Cube) - "Guerillas in tha Mist" Summary: Radio Los Santos is a Gangsta rap, modern golden era West Coast hip hop radio station hosted by Julio G, (who is a real life DJ) located in Los Santos (hence the name). Julio G is a very calm and collected person, who is simply a rap/hip-hop aficionado. He comments on many bad things going on in Los Santos, and persuades people to take a non-violent approach to all things. RLS hosts a number of shout-outs from the public of San Andreas and in-game characters. This station was released in a joint album with Playback FM as part of the 8-Disc soundtrack. The station also includes references to "carjacking on the rise", that activity being a key element of the gameplay. Sometimes after a mission, Julio gives out weather reports and news regarding Los Santos events, and encourages Carl "CJ" Johnson to phone his girlfriend, Denise. Radio X DJ: Sage Genre: Rock Tracklist: Helmet - "Unsung" Depeche Mode - "Personal Jesus" Faith No More - "Midlife Crisis" Danzig - "Mother" Living Colour - "Cult of Personality" (Radio Edit: Ends at 3:26) Primal Scream - "Movin' On Up" Guns N' Roses - "Welcome to the Jungle" L7 - "Pretend We're Dead" Ozzy Osbourne - "Hellraiser" Soundgarden - "Rusty Cage" (Radio Edit: Ends at 2:53) Rage Against the Machine - "Killing in the Name" Jane's Addiction - "Been Caught Stealing" The Stone Roses - "Fools Gold" Alice in Chains - "Them Bones" Stone Temple Pilots - "Plush" Summary: Radio X is an Alternative and period modern rock radio station hosted by Sage (voiced by Jodie Shawback). Sage is a very self-obsessed woman and self-proclaimed rebel who seems to always be worked up about something, making her a stereotypical Gen X-er. Sage has a "bleak outlook on life" and her most apparent obsessions are the sound of her own voice, along with sex as she admits to have slept with the entire Danzig line-up, along with a man she "did behind the Cluckin' Bell", and pleads "could somebody please sleep with me!" during the outro to Soundgarden's "Rusty Cage", amongst at least two other references. She comes from an upper class suburban family that gave her a trust fund, which she takes shame in, stating that she is "poor in spirit". Sage has strong dislike towards people over the age of 29, believes in reincarnation and admits to having huffed paint and ether. Sage reacts negatively to the in-game events barring the Los Santos riots, and gets excited when the forecast predicts rain. Radio X picks up a couple of callers, however these "two" callers are both voiced by Jeff Berlin who voices and produces the Radio X imaging. The name itself is a possible reference on Generation X, who came of age and were the main listeners of the genre in the early 90s, and/or Detroit's alt-rock radio station 89X Radio, which was founded in the very early '90s.
