Various Artists

The  listing here are movie soundtracks or “Best of” compilation releases. It does NOT include those releases that include any of the following Big Country singles: In A Big Country Fields of Fire Chance Wonderland Look Away One Great Thing King of Emotion Alone There are FAR too many of these to list. The purpose of THIS list is to showcase those other tracks that have appeared on one or two non-Big Country releases. Of course, Restless Natives is treated separately on this site.

Let me know if you have any additions to this list.
