Free Music Notes for Raiders Of The Lost Ark (1981 Film)
Free Music Review: raiders of the lost ark soundtrack
Hit: 5 Stars
some of the best music from john williams , with added score that wasnt avaiable from the original release in the eighties this is very high end adventure at its best.Free Music Review: Even with the Concorde release, still the best presentation
Hit: 5 Stars
The Recent Concorde Indiana Jones box set contains additional music, but I still regard this as the best presentation, as it has the full version of the Desert Chase, and superb liner notes in the booklet.
If the Concorde release had an update of these liner notes, and the full version of the Desert Chase, it would have won out, but this edition gets the top by a hair, dispite the slightly muddier souns quality of this set.
Free Music Review: Great Music -- New Release comming 2/24/2009

It's great music, and I am looking forward to replacing my Album with a new cd. DON'T BUY THIS COPY -- WAAAAAY OVERPRICED!

The studio will using the original tracks (1981) conducted by John Williams and used in the film. Amazon should have the CD available for preorder soon.
From the Press Release (10/14/2008):
This DCC version of RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK includes 30 additional minutes not on the original release.The London Symphony Orchestra includes: John Williams (conductor).Original score written by John Williams.Recorded at Anvil Recording Studios, Denham, England and EMI Abbey Road Studio No. 1, London, England in February 1981. Includes liner notes by Lukas Kendall, Steven Spielberg and John Williams.Composer: John Williams.Steven Spielberg reinvented the cliffhanger adventure formula of the '40s and '50s with this Harrison Ford blockbuster. Longtime collaborator and composer John Williams further ignited the screen with his rousing and robust score. Williams, who had already lent his deft hand to such notable Spielberg films as JAWS, elevated RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK to instant-classic status with a score marked by triumphant choirs of brass and bravura.On CD, the soundtrack has been treated with the attention it deserves. Fans all over the globe can rejoice in Williams' complete score, remastered and reissued in a beautiful cardboard slipcase. Exhaustive liner notes detail the music's creation, and entire pieces never featured in the film are restored. Williams' mighty symphonic tome is an adventurous exploration for the ear, by turns foreboding when necessary or dazzling in the grand, epic manner of Hollywood's bygone era, yet always powerful.
Free Music Review: A Rousing and Memorable Soundtrack!
Hit: 5 Stars
John Williams' score for RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK may be the second most memorable score of all time, second only to Williams' score for the original STAR WARS film. The music is engaging and moving, and browses its way through many different styles and genres. You can see the scenes playing in your head as you listen. Great CD. Highly recommended.Free Music Review: Awsome
Hit: 5 Stars
This is truly one of John Williams greatest works.
The only thing is that Marion's Theme. It is a nice track but it doesn't really fit her in my opinion. I loved the Desert Chase and Miracle of the Ark.
A must have soundtrack!
