Had an opportunity to reaquaint myself with this movie last night (it's been about ten years since I last saw it) and I was struck by how much of the score was omitted from the cd release. I've only recently become familiar with Michael Kamen's work but this surely deserves a better release than what is currently available? Given all the wonderful releases we gave had of late I would like to think that this score would be an obvious candidate for an expanded or complete rerelease? Anyone know what the likelihood of it happening is?

I would like it if someone re-recorded this. The original score is rife with performance bobbles (especially for the trumpets). Generally a sloppy reading of a terrific score. I know time was a factor on this film but poor Kamen always got saddled with time constraints. Last Action Hero was also a rush right until the then. I still have a KEYBOARD interview with him from 1993 where he talks about film scoring, the process, and specifically Last Action Hero. Yes, Kamen is sorely missed. NP- Iron Giant

I've never really been a big fan of Michael Kamen's music, but I really enjoy his Prince of Thieves. Just a good, rousing old-fashioned adventure score with a terrific theme and some exciting passages. I'd be up for an expansion. This is one score that I always meant to buy but could never bring myself to actually get. I couldn't get past Bryan Adam's "Everything I do I do for you." I remember when this was at the top of the charts back in 1991 for 11 BLOODY WEEKS! It's all you could hear on radio, from stereos, anywhere. AAaaarrrrgghhhh! I know it's on the CD, I just can't go near it. Well, it's one of the last tracks, so you could just, you know, stop the CD after the final score track finished. Just a thought.

I love how they put Kamen's Prince of Thieves Theme on the Morgan Creek logo. And also on all the new Disney logos..... You don't mean on the logos, though, do you? I know they're using it to score their advertising spots, but the Disney logo at the beginning of a feature is still always accompanied by a variation of "When You Wish Upon A Star," isn't it?

The Bryan Adams song is horrible, IMHO.
