 I love it! January 8, 2009
John Williams is an impressive individual, make no mistake. What a work of art all four of these soundtracks present. After comparing audio quality between what was previously available and this new release - clarity and brilliance are much better, overall. Listening to much more of the material never before available is a pleasure - it's literally something I've been waiting for since Raiders was released on CD (the additional material presented here is simply very nice to listen to). Packaging is quite nice and is not a disappointment. A great release and a sincerely impressive set that fans of John Williams (and fans especially of the Raiders series) will fall in love with. I certainly did! This is clearly the best available Indiana Jones soundtrack material, and complete or not it's a pleasure to own.
 Fantastic set, with minor flaws January 4, 2009
The music for these films is among the greatest put to film, and is as much of a classic as John Williams' Star Wars scores, or Jaws.
Although not complete, most of the music from the movies is there, and unlike many, I enjoy the partitioned nature of the cues.
I could not detect the Pitch issues, even though I know they are there, and the sound quality is stunning.
The only disappointment with this set is the truncated album version of the Desert Chase for Raiders of the Lost Ark. The album edits jump out at several points, and the complete music for this sequence was released in 1995 on the DCC label (Silva Screen in the UK).
For that reason, I have given the set 4 rather than 5 stars.
Having said that, The Temple of Doom and The Last Crusade have been greatly expanded, to the point where Temple of Doom is a revelation to those familiar with the rare, 11 track, 45 minute Japasese Import CD or the original LP on which it was based. Including Disk 5, we now have about 86 minutes from that score, all remastered with stunning sound quality.
The interviews on disk 5 are no great revelation, but more casual listeners may find some good information and viewpoints.
This is a must have set, and if the sound quality can be maintained for a complete score release of each film, similar to the 2CD Complete Score releases for the Star Wars Special Edition, I would be in heaven.
Listening to this set, I feel as though I have just discovered the Ark.
AT LAST THE WHOLE COLLECTION OF INDIANA JONES SCORES December 16, 2008

A compilation produced by Monsieur Laurent Bouzereau, the filmaker that has produced the documentaries MAKING OF... on over 150 special editions for DVD among them Alfred Hitchcock's movies. A fifth bonus CD comes with an audio interview including Maestro John Williams, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and Laurent Bouzereau himself.
Raiders, Temple Doom and Last Crusade CDs come with tracks never available before.
The Ultimate Indiana Jones Soundtrack Collection December 14, 2008

It's easy to dismiss a re-issue. You'd think, "...well, they added a couple of extra tracks, big deal."
Not true with this FANTASTIC boxed set! If you are a fan of the INDIANA JONES movies and especially the JOHN WILLIAMS composed & conducted soundtrack, then this is a MUST-HAVE!
Not only do you get unreleased tracks--A LOT of them, but you get, finally, the release of INDIANA JONES & THE TEMPLE OF DOOM. For years this soundtrack has been unavailable on CD and available only on a secondary market at a HUGE markup. Well, now it's included and what's better is again, the originally unreleased material is now included.
Additionally, an EXTRA CD is included featuring a fascinating interview with GEORGE LUCAS, STEVEN SPIELBERG & JOHN WILLIAMS that contains insights into the composition process, with even MORE unreleased tracks.
Finally, and I consider the BEST part, is that all are RE-MASTERED. Played on even the most rudimentary sound system, the music on these CDs come across clearer and purer than any prior release.
Much like the release of the Lord of the Rings Howard Shore box sets, this INDIANA JONES COLLECTION belongs in any soundtrack fans' collection!
Great Collection!!! December 13, 2008

I've read some reviews that this is actually not the complete score and that there are pitch problems and some edited cues, but for a person that doesn't have any of the previous soundtracks(like me), this set is perfect.
The CDs came in digipaks, and all them are in a beautiful brown box that if feels like leather(but I don't think is leather), with the logo(the hat and the whip) of Indiana Jones in Gold, very beautiful box, I would've prefer normal CD cases but then the box would've been very bulky.
I'm sure this set if far from perfect, it has its flaws(read the reviews from other Amazon customers) but like I said at the beginning, if you don't have any soundtrack yet, this is a wonderful opportunity, an even if you do have the previous soundtracks I'm sure you will enjoy it too.
