1.0 out of 5 stars They're NOT the original TV soundtracks, folks!, November 21, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Ultimate TV Drama Themes (Audio CD)

This collection does not have any original soundtracks in it. Instead, it is a collection of reinterpreted theme songs all performed by a group of studio musicians. Some of the interpretations are pretty good, and some are not. If I had to evaluate it on its own merits, I would say this CD is okay. However, I was looking for original tracks, and this CD doesn't come close (especially for "Miami Vice" and "NYPD Blue"). If you're looking for the original tracks, stay away from this one!

The original recordings of these tracks, most of which are instrumentals, are almost impossible to find. I normally do not purchase re-recordings by the original artists or those made by others. I keep waiting eagerly for Mike Post to put out a collection of his original recordings of some of TV's best theme songs. In the meantime, this is pretty good listening and at a bargain price.
