Just make sure you have a real present waiting in the wings. It's difficult to imagine anyone actually wanting to purchase Rocky III, but the CD does make a good gag gift if you have a friend who finds this kind of thing amusing. Conti could have just recorded white noise in place of songs like 'Decision' and the pointlessly long 'Conquest,' and no one would have known the difference. Considerably less amusing are the album's instrumental tunes, composed by Bill Conti with the exception of the requisite rendition of Rocky's theme song 'Gonna Fly Now, each of these tracks is painfully generic. An actor as well as a crooner, Frankie contributes two versions of a little ditty called 'Take You Back' and the truly hilarious (unintentionally so, of course) disco/pop number 'Pushin.' Chock-full of howlers like 'Keep on pushin/don't give up the fight,' the song sounds like a long-lost collaboration between the Bee Gees and the Village People. Down in the Tennessee hills Aint no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top.

If you do, however, you'll be treated to the unique sound of not just one, but three songs from Sly Stallone's lesser-known brother Frank. (Boudleaux Bryant and Felice Bryant) Wish that I was on ol Rocky Top. Let's face it, once you've heard the pop chestnut 'Eye of the Tiger,' which has aged surprisingly well (that opening guitar sting remains potent after all these years), there's really no reason to keep listening. At only ten tracks, the album still manages to seem padded. Plays when Rocky returns to his home after his match against Spider Rico.Like the movie it accompanies, the soundtrack to Rocky III is a pure '80s throwback, and that's not necessarily a compliment.

Although the Conti version of 'Gonna Fly Now' is the most recognizable arrangement, a cover of the song performed by legendary trumpeter Maynard Ferguson on his Conquistador album prior to the release of the motion picture soundtrack actually outsold the soundtrack itself.
