Crime Story Soundtrack
Alright, fans, this is my attempt at a soundtrack list, episode by episode. Songs are listed in the order played on the show, and I have omitted the opening and closing credit music, as well as incidental music and other things written for the episodes. I will add more episodes as I get to them. Please let me know any corrections or additions - perhaps those of you with better audio systems can help me place the songs I can't quite make out!
