5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful music that stands on its own
If you've seen "The Long Good Friday," you know the value of Francis Monkman's music in the film's overall success-- its propulsive beats move the story along and act as an enriching element. The brilliant opening and closing themes, with their glitzy sax sound, echo the flash of Harold Shand's crime organization, all sheen and flash on the outside, but raw and violent...

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not get this inferior version!
This is a shocking CD, all-too-clearly lifted direct from an LP and absolutely riddled with clicks and pops. Horrible. Avoid like the plague. I can't imagine anyone reviewing such a dire disc positively unless they were trying to sell one.
The version on Silva Screen label is the only one worth having, but it now seems to sell at crazy high prices.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful music that stands on its own, May 28, 2003
This review is from: Long Good Friday (Audio CD)
If you've seen "The Long Good Friday," you know the value of Francis Monkman's music in the film's overall success-- its propulsive beats move the story along and act as an enriching element. The brilliant opening and closing themes, with their glitzy sax sound, echo the flash of Harold Shand's crime organization, all sheen and flash on the outside, but raw and violent on the inside. The **** film features a **** soundtrack, and it can be listened to time and again (I just put it on again for the 100th time last week-- still sounds fresh.) Warning: one track is a reggae song featuring vocals by Bob Hoskins; those without strong stomachs should avoid. All else is sterling-- buy it.

The music itself is excellent and I only hope Silva re-release it sometime soon.

Great movie - I just had to have one of tracks from the sound track, so I got the whole CD. it was worth it, because its very hard to get.

besides music, I live Raw foods, and recommend this book for those into health:
