5.0 out of 5 stars This is THE Excalibur soundtrack!!!, May 18, 2008

By	Gene R. Obrien (Union, New Jersey) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I know that many of you, like me, bought what they thought was the 'soundtrack' to Excalibur on vinyl back in the 80's. It had the picture from the movie poster on the cover. A 'real' soundtrack never came out. All you saw at best were collections of the classical music in the film.

THIS is the REAL Excalibur soundtrack!! All the music that you know and love and heard in the movie and even a track or two that didn't make the film. I got my copy from Dandalf a few years ago and have never regretted it one bit. Love the movie? BUY this soundtrack. Forget all the others that claim to have music from the soundtrack. They may have versions of music from the soundtrack. But THIS is the REAL THING!!!!

Stop hesitating. Hit the "Buy" button NOW!

5.0 out of 5 stars AT LAST THE PERFECT SOUNDTRACK, July 5, 2007

By	Joel Ross "saratoga sifu" (Saratoga Springs, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've waited a quarter century, since the release of the film, for a faithful reproduction of Boorman's movie soundtrack. The perfect blend of (Wagner's) classical pieces with more modern work is brought out so well in modern CD format you could almost close your eyes & imagination you're back in one of Manhattan's old movie palaces.

5.0 out of 5 stars reviewing excalibur soundtrack, January 20, 2008

By	R. F. Mason - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am very delighted with this soundtrack. The audio quality is superb; you can even hear some incidental noise,during the actual recording of the film score,on a couple of the tracks. I used to look for this record in used record stores and now am very happy that I own it. Thank you.
