5.0 out of 5 stars
The last score on my list of "holy grail" OST albums,
By Into "voidness" (everywhereandnowhere) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dirty Harry (Score) - O.S.T. (Audio CD)
Like many others of you out there, I've waited an absurdly long period of time for the complete OST album of Lalo Shifrin's Dirty Harry score to be reissued on CD. Collecting OST's can be exasperating because record labels tend to keep them in print for relatively short periods of time compared to other albums, and even classic scores can take years--or even decades--to be reissued. Over the past few years, I've watched the last few of my favorite "lost" scores to be reissued on CD--including Leonard Rosenman's Fantastic Voyage and Beneath the Planet of the Apes; and Komeda's Rosemary's Baby (although the latter is absurdly overpriced)--and, since Dirty Harry is one of my all-time favorites, I suppose it is fitting that is the last one to "fall" from my list.I'm not going to pretend that Dirty Harry is "high art," but imo it is the best "cop flick" ever; and it has elements of a good psychological thriller to boot...then there's the atmospherically creepy night scenes, perfectly accented by Shifrin's eerie score. It has been menioned by reviewers of this album, and the less-than-satisfactory Dirty Harry Anthology, that some of the best moments have been left off of previous albums bearing excerpts of this score: the crucial "Dawn Discovery" and End Title music have not previously appeared on CD, and the Main Title music only appeared as a "bleeding chunk" excerpt. This album is not missing any of the essential cues, and anyone who is a Dirty Harry buff, or just a movie score/OST album buff will find everything they've been waiting for right here.

Finally, the original Dirty Harry soundtrack on CD!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dirty Harry (Score) - O.S.T. (Audio CD)
If you like the music heard in the original Dirty Harry film - you will certainly like this CD - it has every composition on it (including the songs with vocals played in the background during the movie), and all songs are played in its entirety, (bonus songs are cool too, they fit nicely at the end)- and the sound quality is great! A definite must for anyone who appreciates original soundtrack music. (Lalo Schifrin's 1971 score influenced so many composers who followed, akin to what Ennio Morricone did with the spaghetti westerns.) And by the way, the first 2 songs on the CD is EXACTLY what you hear during the opening scene/credits to the film! Awesome!!!

Complete package here, folks...,

This review is from: Dirty Harry (Score) - O.S.T. (Audio CD)
I've never written a review on here, but I had to say something about this Dirty Harry album... After searching for the complete soundtrack to this film and buying other albums that came up short, I was very pleased when I accidentally stumbled over this one. After listening to it, it's obvious to me that this is THE album to get. All the tracks sound like they've been remastered. the music and the vocals sound crisp and like they were recorded yesterday. Every song for every scene is in here... This isn't one to pass up!
