Raiders Of The Lost Ark

Firstly, don't get me wrong: this is a brilliant CD and if movie scores are you in your wheelhouse, then this is for you. But there's a reason why I deduct a star: it's a bit deceiving. Even though the album purports to have extra music, buyers should also be aware that it's missing 'The Raider's March' track (found on the 1995 CD issue) and the track 'Desert Chase' is a slightly edited version of the complete track - once again found in the 1995 issue. There are three new tracks here in total but they are brief and as they are cues taken from other tracks that already exist in the album, you don't really get much new material here. Also the inlay booklet was better and more informative in the 1995 version with the inclusion of production sketches. In closing, if you really need this in your collection, get it. But if you want a more accurate representation of the score, my advice is to get the 1995 CD version.

This soundtrack CD is awesome. I have seen the movie so many times that when I listen to the soundtrack CD, the musical pieces help to tell the movie story. The pieces are melodic and easy to listen to.They are real audio gems.I remember vividly, the piece of the Ark and Marion's Theme as well as the Famous Raiders March.A fine CD to have in anyone's collection especially if that anyone is a fan of the movie.

One of John Williams best soundtracks. The original soundtrack only had one record, this is the expanded soundtrack which covers two records. The sound quality is fantastic as you would expect from a brand new pressing.

I own this on Vinyl and now on shiny CD. It's a treat for the ears andI loved reliving my youth to it.

A good cd as described and on time

A superb re mastering but the pressing is oh so noisy. So many pops and crackles especially on first side.will be sending my copy back for exchange. Fingers crossed.Update. Replacement received and is considerably better. Still a bit crackly this time more so on the second side. Nowhere near as intrusive as noise on the first copy .Have increased ratings from 3 to 4 star.

Very nice quality vinyl, up to expectations

great music of maestro Williams
