Artists: various
Lakeshore Records
RRP: £13.99
Available 18 September 2012


Two young women come up short on the funds needed to live in New York City. Lauren Powell, a reserved overachiever, is suddenly on her own. Katie Steele, an irrepressible free spirit, is about to forfeit a dream residence unless she finds an apartment-mate. Without options, Lauren reluctantly moves in with Katie. With nothing in common, she and Katie barely speak - until Lauren discovers that Katie is working as a phone-sex operator. This is, Lauren reasons, a good business opportunity; together, they will buy a land line and start up their own answering service. Katie is - it would seem - already in her element, and Lauren catches on quick; it’s not long before the blushing subsides and the candid chatting becomes second nature to her. But as their business partnership takes off, Lauren and Katie’s newfound friendship finds unexpected challenges that may leave them both, as they say, hanging on the telephone...

The soundtrack to For a Good Time, Call... contains an interesting mix of musical styles and artists. While not an album I'd necessarily rush out and buy, there are some nice tunes here.

Highlights include 'Operator' - Mary Wells; 'Back and Forth' - Operator Please; 'I Promise' - The Generationals; and 'Stick Together' - Mack Winston & The Reflections.

The album lasts for 42 min, 42 sec and contains 12 tracks.
