Back in the nineties I had a CD. I’ve lost it and I’m trying to see if I can replace it. The first problem is that I don’t remember its name.

It was somewhat based on the _Pulp Fiction_ soundtrack. But it wasn’t the official soundtrack. Its title was something generic like “Pulp Fiction Type Music”.

And, no, I don’t remember any of the specific songs that were on it.

Any ideas?

I had one called (I think) The Tarantino Collection. It had songs from many of his movies, like Stuck in the Middle, Little Green Bag, Misirlou, etc.

Here… found [this.](http://www.amazon.com/Tarantino-Connection-Soundtrack-Anthology/dp/B000005KOO)

I’m guessing **lieu** nailed it, but this is just to say that if you ever come across a Dick Dale ['60’s surf rock guitar god] G.H. collection on sale or in a used bin, buy it. (“Miserlou” is one of his hits.)

No, it wasn’t the Tarantino Collection. This CD appeared to have no official connection to Tarantino or _Pulp Fiction_. Basically it seemed to be a collection for people who liked the kind of music that was in the movie soundtrack. It wasn’t either one of these - [here](http://www.amazon.com/Pulp-Surfin-Various-Artists/dp/B000001JJ0/ref=sr_1_33?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1247523211&sr=1-33) [here](http://www.amazon.com/Pulp-Rock-Instros-Vol-1/dp/B000000N4I/ref=sr_1_39?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1247523077&sr=1-39) -but this gives you the idea. It might be [this](http://www.amazon.com/Pulp-Rock-Various-Artists/dp/B000000N4J/ref=sr_1_63?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1247523319&sr=1-63) but I can’t be sure.

You could try places like [Tower Records](http://tower.com) and [HMV](http://hmv.com). A lot of times when you look for things they’ll have suggestions.
