At last! Original soundtrack from large-scale John Frankenheimer film about pending attack at Super Bowl, starring Robert Shaw, Bruce Dern. John Williams follows success of JAWS with gripping, rhythmically-charged score where - like JAWS - small motif carries weight of entire score. Idea spans mere interval of minor third, yet launches dazzling array of rhythmic material throughout lengthy score. FSM CD presents complete score in stereo from multi-track masters, adds alternates & source cues as bonus at end of CD. John Williams conducts, delivers a knockout! Limited edition of 10000 copies.
