This cd ranks about 1,000 stars. Yep, put this in your car stero and soon you will be taking immposible super long jumps in slo motion and leaving your enemies in the dust just like Mr. T. and the rest of the A-Team. With the reruns on every day and this CD we just need Regan back in the White House and all would be right with America again. The first track is the best as it is a long version of the opening theme and in every episode the bad quys lock up the team in a home depot and after they bulid a log throwing, machine gun toting, smoke spieling, monster vechicle the easy sounds of track 2 come through as the team bulids thier latest mechincal monster, great tune for oil change time!

I received this CD as a (very) late birthday gift a week ago, and since then it's been playing nonstop in my car. Somehow, a traffic jam seems much more bearable when "BA's Ride" is playing in the background.

This CD is a compilation of much of the background music that plays during "A-Team" episodes. Family members have complained that some of it sounds the same; however, it is important to note that this is a television score, and that repeated themes are common (and important) in TV music. I enjoyed hearing the songs and recognizing some of the melodies that had been stuck in my head for days at a time. The music is very catchy, particularly "Young Hannibal," "Bandits!," and (of course) the theme.

Granted, fans of the show (like myself) are more likely to buy the CD than those who have never seen it. However, that does not mean that you have to belong to the A-Team fan club to enjoy the music. My friends, who have never watched a single episode, love this album, and while understanding the events that the music accompanies may give you a different perspective on the CD, the music will bring scenes to your mind that will be just as interesting. I highly recommend this CD to any TV/movie or 80s music fan, and to anyone looking for something fun and a little different.

Ahh yeah. This is a pure classic. The A-Team Theme has to be the greatest television theme song of all time. Having The A-Team Theme on CD is well worth the (money) this CD costs. But wait there's much more here. All the tracks on here are teriffic. The A-Team Prepare For War, and The A-Team Escape are superb. This is simply great music 1984 or 2000 the music stands on its' own, and you also get such a feeling of nostalgia that you will feel as if your riding in the A-Team van as you listen to this in your car. If you love the A-Team, classic televion or great music then this CD is for you.

The A-Team are back in this terrific assemblance of music from the TV score. From the opening theme, to the A-Team in New York City, and right through the closing theme you cannot help but visualize Hannibal, Face Man, B.A. & Howling Mad Murdock either eluding, chasing, fighting or rescuing someone. If you appreciated the shows music back in the 80's - "you ain't heard nothing yet!" until you've heard it on digital disc. An absolute must for all true fans of the A-Team

This is an absolutely amazing CD. When I first heard the single "More bandits" I was blown away by it's beauty. It is mystical. I play this CD while I am reading, quilting, writing, anything that I want to relax doing. This was one of the CDs we played during child birth....I wanted it to be a part of the experience, absolutely amazing.

if you loved the A-Team, You must have this album. great music, you really can picture the team building amoured tanks in a garage, listening to this. BA and hanibal kickin ass. Face getting all the ladies, and Howlin Mad murdock. I ain't goin on no Plane.

i just picked up "The A-Team - music from the original television score" (amazon.com) what a masterpiece! sometimes disco sometimes touching (song: young hannibal) somewhat motivational in a "rocky III" sense. no-one can listen and be untouched. my fave is "The A-Team goes to War" inspiring track! makes co-workers/friends/enemies jump out skyscraper windows or go into a Mr T like rant....

Awesome CD dudes! I listened to some of the samples and it ROCKS! I agree with like all the other comments. You know, I almost forgot about this show and I can't believe I did, because cranking it up to eleven on "The A-Team Theme" really brings back those heady, heady glory days back in '82-'84 -- can you believe it only ran those three years, considering the impact it had on American -- if not world culture?! The ripples of this show still reverberate outwards into all our lives (who knows how far outward -- there may well be some alien fans of Mr T out there -- way out there! oh yeah!!). Sure I chuckled at first, thinking, oh come on, how can you separate the music from the groundbreaking show itself -- and why would you want to? But the truth is, of course, that there are times when you can't watch it on TV, like when you're driving and stuff (I unlike some of you cannot afford that mini-van with the built in home entertainment system; yes, you detect envy, guilty as charged), but when you might want to still have some of the flavor of the show in your life, and so what these CDs (woops -- it's only ONE cd -- wishful thinking I guess) do is to do just that. For driving probably "Taxi Chase" would be good. Or when you're working around the house with power tools, etc. -- now you can drill and saw and snake your toilet line all to the accompaniment of these turbo-charged numbers, such as "The A-Team Prepare for War", or maybe "Move, Sucker" (as in, whatever's clogging your toilet better friggin get outta the way pronto!). Just depends on your mood I guess. Indeed, I was intrigued by the poignancy of the track 2 title: "Young Hannibal" And sure enough when I listened to the brief taste of it a whole series of associations flooded into my consciousness having to do mostly with the character hannibal (mostly I say -- a few of the tender emotions evoked involved my own adventure-filled glorious youth, and I'm not ashamed to say it dammit!, because I suspect that I'm just the FIRST to say it and not the first to FEEL it). I mean, "Murdock's Face" practically brought tears to my eyes (why did I have to throw the word practically in there -- have the courage of your convictions, Kent, just like the A-Team did before you). I still remember his face, a face, what a face... Regarding track 5 I found myself speculating about the import of the exclamation point so pointedly rounding off the title: "Bandits!" But once I listened to it all speculation was pointless -- this song rocks!!(that 2nd exclamation point was no typo) I am so psyched to accept a mission ASAP --just give me the prep papers and it's "Showtime"(as in, track 9!) right here in reality -- 24-7!! I think I'll go see if I can get some A-Team DVDs, because while most of the songs I can like totally match with their episodes and scenes, there are a few I can't quite place, like "Let's Get Busted" and "B.A.'s Ride", although there can me no question about "A team in new York City" (track 4) or "Murdock's Face -- those are etched deep in my brain as indelibly as if I was an intel chip, or like a tatoo on your brain -- you get the idea! However, some songs could maybe go with various episodes, like "The A-Team escapes" and "Helicopters" (there were a lot of those); maybe some were used more than once, I wonder, I'm gonna have to visit some of the a-team fansites to look into that. Well, that's enough (for now), but needless to say -- buy this album!! (buy a couple cause you'll probably wear the CD out -- it's possible, I did it with my "Magnum PI" CD!) Hey -- anybody in the mood for some more "Bandits"? (I am) -- No problem, just pump up the volume on "More Bandits"!!(track 14) --KG
ps -- Email me if you wanna form like the B-Team.(it could be cool -- way cool!)

The best part about the A-Team (besides no one getting hurt, the homemade weapons, the Team member's personalities, and the bad badguys) was the music. From the intro, to Face srenading his girl-du-jour, or Murdock talking to his invisible dog, to B.A. helping out at the Youth Center, to the raging firefights and homemade weapons, to the end credits, the music in A-Team was always appropriate for the setting, and always good. I love it when a soundtrack comes together!

The A-Team is a "Magnificient Seven" type series set in the "present day", with tons of action, yet the action wouldn't have had its punch if it weren't for the music to go along with it, and this soundtrack takes the best of this music and puts it on an album all its own, great stuff.
