# Molly: Do Yourself a Favour

Molly: Do Yourself a Favour is the soundtrack to the two-part Australian miniseries Molly, which screened on the Seven Network in February 2016. The miniseries tells the story of Ian "Molly" Meldrum, an Australian music critic, journalist, record producer and musical entrepreneur.
The soundtrack features some of Meldrum's record productions, including Russell Morris' "The Real Thing", the Ferrets' "Don't Fall in Love" and Supernaut's "I Like It Both Ways", as well as contributions from close personal friends Elton John, Lynne Randell and Kylie Minogue and songs that recall classic Countdown moments, which Meldrum hosted from 1975 to 1987.
The physical edition features three CDs, with the first two discs including songs featured in the miniseries. The third disc includes tracks handpicked by Meldrum.

## Critical reception

Paul Cashmere of Noise11 said; "The songs featured in the soundtrack are not just the soundtrack to a mini-series, they capture the musical landscape of Australia across the 60s, 70s and 80s. These songs were the popular music Australian's were hearing daily on radio and became the soundtrack to many lives."
Cameron Adams from the Herald Sun gave the album 4 out of 5 stars, asking readers "How do you distil all the music lived and loved by Molly Meldrum? It's taken 60 tracks to even scratch the surface" before calling Molly a "legend".
A staff writer at The Music said that the album is "the best thing since [compilation] Ripper '76".
