Greetings! ScoreKeeper here returning anew from sunken underbellies of lost civilizations to reveal to the world that the Holy Grail has finally been discovered!

And that’s not all…

Nestled along side of it in all its majestic golden glory lies the Ark of the Covenant.

And still there is more…

Inside the same box housing these two treasures the sacred Sankara Stones, otherwise known as the Sivalinga, resting undisturbed after years of silence.

And there was something about a crystal skull in there too…

As an avid film music archeologist and aficionado, I’ve spent decades scouring the planet in search of the lost treasures of cinema’s most celestial compositions. I’ve acquired many priceless masterpieces, all of which reside in my personal collection. Yet, for years…decades even, a triumvirate of scores so coveted for their power and beauty continued to elude my persistence.

The day has finally arrived when I need to search no longer.

On Tuesday, November 11th, 2008, a group known as Concord Records led by chief archeologist Laurent Bouzereau, unearthed INDIANA JONES: THE SOUNDTRACKS COLLECTION. Encased in a handsome faux-leather box are expanded editions of the original scores for RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK (1981), INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM (1984), INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE (1989), and INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL (2008), digitally encoded on four compact discs. Composed by one of the colossal talents of our time, John Williams also conducted the London Symphony Orchestra which, even after years of isolation and solitude, these remastered recordings have never sounded so good.

In addition to these monumental discoveries is a fifth disc with rare, never-before-released tracks from the first three titles and two interviews with John Williams, director Steven Spielberg, and producer George Lucas.

Laurent Bouzereau recently commented on these magnificent discoveries.

“I’ve had the great honor and pleasure of visiting the behind-the-scenes of the four Indiana Jones films from several angles: first as a writer/director/producer of documentaries, then as a collaborator on a book chronicling the making of all four films,” Bouzereau says. “I felt I had come full circle when I was asked to collaborate on assembling expanded CD soundtrack albums for Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The result represents a unique musical experience for listeners and fans of the now-classic film series that stimulates the imagination and makes you want to watch the films again.”
