China Beach, a series that ran on ABC-TV in the late '80s and early '90s, was about the Vietnam War -- and this soundtrack does contain some definitive examples of rock and soul classics from the '60s and early '70s.

But the China Beach soundtrack has more ups than downs, and fans of the ABC series will probably want a copy despite its shortcomings and imperfections.
