This is a review of the album I've posted at soundtrack collector 4 years ago:
After the very succesfull first two scores for the JAWS series by John Williams, the third film was scored by the relatively unknow Alan Parker.
The resulting score is excellent. Its not a simple replay of John Williams themes from the first films (as are the Superman series soundtracks) but it is an all new score with its own themes, that makes more sparce (but effective) use of the classic SHARK Theme.
Similar to the first JAWS soundtrack released, the JAWS 3 album is a "concert re-arrangement" that is different from the music as heard in the film. But it is a very good and listenable soundtrack album.
As this score is still unavailable in CD one can only hope that, if and when it is finally released, it will contain both the music as reard in the film and the album arrangements (as Varese did with THE FURY and OMEN II).
The music included in the album is:
Side A
1) JAWS 3-D MAIN TITLE: This music is virtually identical to the film version (except for the supression of the "fish head floating" part - before the titles apear). The highlights are a very exciting music for the titles and the water skiers theme (a music that sticks to your head).
2) KAY AND MIKE's LOVE THEME: The album version of the love theme from JAWS 3-D is dominated by strings and flute. The film version is different and better (with Piano).
3) PANIC AT SEAWORLD: Based on the SHARK THEME this track contains some music not included in the film and some music for the Shark's first appearance at the "underwater restaurant" and the "attack on the underwater tunnels".
4) UNDERWATER KINGDON AND SHARK CHASE: For the scene where Kay and Mike explores the lagoon in the sub searching for Overman's body. The music in the album is very different for the more suspensful version contained in the film. On the album the music is more light, based on the SEAWORLD theme that is similar to the Love Theme.
5) SHARK CHASE AND DOLPHIN RESCUE: Different than the music in the film the music in the album does not have the SHARK THEME in the middle section. I prefer the film version, however the album version still is a great action cue.
6) SAVED BY THE DOLPHINS: Similar than the music in the film (except for a small section at the end of the track) this is the music for the Shark fight with the dolphins. The secondary Shark Motiv composed by Alan Parker is fully used at this track.
7) THE SHARK's GONNA HIT US!: Virtually identical to the film version (except for the omision of the shark theme for the infamous "breacking glass scene" at the beginning) this is the music for the shark's death at the end of the film. It is a very good action track (for a not that exciting scene) based on the secondary Shark Theme composed by Alan Parker.
Side B
8) IT'S ALIVE/SEAWORLD OPENNING DAY: One of the best tracks in the album includes the SEAWORLD Theme, the Dolphins Theme and the Ski Theme from the first track in a very uplifiting arrangement.
9) OVERMAN's LAST DIVE: Totally different than the version in the film, this track contains some suspense music and the shark theme for the film's first shark victim.
10) PHILIP'S DEMISE: It is a very good suspense track with some of the SHARK THEME included that ends in chaos as the sharks eats Philip. Unfortunatelly it does not contain the triumphant arrangement of the shark theme that plays in the film version after the shark eats Philip, istead it has a more quiet finale.
11) NIGHT CAPTURE: Very good action track for the best scene in the film. It is different (longer and even better) than the film version.
12) JAWS 3-D END TITLE: The dolphin and SEAWORLD themes for the film finale and end credits.
If you want to hear the music in the order of the film you should listen the score tracks in the following order:
(1) (9) (2) (4) (5) (11) (8) (3) (10) (6) (7) (12)

Someone's in trouble. Guys, this was obviously a leak that could seriously damage upcoming projects. In fact Intrada just reached out to me asking for my help in locking this down. Please be patient and refrain from bringing this up again. Thanks for understanding.
