Trivia

• This is the soundtrack to the film American Psycho, directed by Mary Harron , which opened in theatres 7 April 2000.
• Recall: All copies in the channel were recalled shortly before the official release date because of apparent "copyright" problems to one song - the Huey Lewis Hip To Be Square which on the original version was the final song on the album.
• Hidden Track: On the original pressing (with Hip To Be Square), the CD actually has a final hidden track, about 5 minutes after the Hip To Be Square - which contains another dialogue between Patrick Bateman and a woman (Chrissy?). John Bowerman wrote in with the transcript:

  Patrick Bateman (PB): Did you know (pause) that Whitney Houston's debut LP? Called simply "Whitney Houston," had four Number One singles on it? Did you know that, Chrissy?

  Chrissy (?): (giggling) You . . . you actually listen to Whitney Houston? You own a Whitney Houston CD? (laughing) More than one? (more laughing) Ooo!

  PB: It's hard to choose a favorite among so many great tracks. (pause) But "The Greatest Love of All" is one of the best, most powerful songs ever written . . . about self-preservation, dignity. Its universal message crosses all boundaries and instills one with the hope that it's not to late to better ourselv... Since . . . Elizabeth . . . it's impossible, in this world we live in, to empathize with others. We can always empathize with ourselves. It's an important message. Crucial, really . . . as beautifully stated on the album.
