Soundtrack review - Best Of Adventure Soundtrack Compilation CD

This is must CD if you can get your hands on it. It has some fantastic soundtracks including some rare ones such as The Young Indiana Jones title and the complete previously unreleased eighteen minute Goonies suite from Dave Grusin. This eighteen minute rendition is worth the asking price alone and is one of the only places you can get this suite.

It boasts impresssive artwork on the cover which would make a great poster. It comes on two cds and tracks are performed by The City Of Prague Philharmonic and The Budapest Studio Orchestra. A great addition to a soundtrack collectors collection. Only problem is that it is quite a rare CD. Going for about $70 on amazon and about $40 on ebay.
