Jaws: Original Motion Picture Score (50th Anniversary Edition)

~ Release by John Williams (see all versions of this release, 39 available)

Annotation

One of the finest achievements in film music and quite possibly the most iconic soundtrack of all time, John Williams’ score to JAWS is an absolute essential for collectors. While the Grammy® -winning 1975 MCA album was a re-recording, this double vinyl set presents the entire Academy Award®-winning score as composed and recorded for the actual film.

For the film’s 50th Anniversary, Mike Matessino restored and remastered the music with a brand new high-resolution transfer from the original studio elements to create the definitive release of the JAWS score, approved by maestro John Williams himself.
