I love Buster Poindexter!, 05 Apr 2008
This is the debut album from the pop cultural phenomenon with, amongst other things, its own star on the Hollywood walk of fame, THE SIMPSONS.
This album features 5 original Simpson's songs & 5 covers of classic blues songs, all sung in the inimitable Simpson's style.
1.DO THE BARTMAN - 5:11.
A number one hit co written by Michael Jackson!
2.SCHOOL DAY - 3:57.
A rockin' cover of Chuck Berry's song, featuring Bart Simpson and Buster Poindexter {David Johansen.}
3.BORN UNDER A BAD SIGN - 3:08.
Dan Castellaneta doing Homer Simpson doing Albert King!
4.MOANIN' LISA BLUES - 4:49.
My favourite line in this BLACK VELVET {Alannah Myles} sounding song is "I'm down so low, if I cheered up I'd still be depressed!"
Sounds different to when it featured in the season 1 episode MOANING LISA, but it's equally as good, if not better!
5.DEEP DEEP TROUBLE - 4:28.
Bart raps about what happened to him "Once upon a time, about a week ago."
6.GOD BLESS THE CHILD - 4:31.
The slowest and most soulful song on the album. It features Lisa Simpson & Bleeding Gums Murphy {Ron Taylor}.
7.I LOVE TO SEE YOU SMILE - 3:07.
A Marge & Homer duet.
8.SPRINGFIELD SOUL STEW - 2:38.
Marge Simpson's version of MEMPHIS SOUL STEW.
Play it loud, & play it proud!
9.LOOK AT ALL THOSE IDIOTS - 3:52.
Harry Shearer talking to himself! {He voices Mr Burns AND Mr Smithers!}
10.SIBLING RIVALRY - 4:40.
A Bart & Lisa duet.
ALBUM DURATION: 40 minutes 23 seconds.
Also, this album features B.B King, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Dr John and Marcy Levy.
This album doesn't come with song words, but the enclosed booklet does contain five small black and white pictures of the Simpson's cast with their aliases.
The perfect soundtrack to accompany a mundane chore; it'll go in a flash!
Utterly fabulous! Fantastic, 03 Feb 2005
This album is fantastic - it is a wonderful fusion of two of my favourite things: the Simpsons and the blues. This is not a rip-off designed to cash in on the fame of the Simpsons. It is a fabulous CD in its own right. The songs are all sung by members of the Simpsons family - the lyrics are original and appropriate to the character. The music is mostly blues classics (with some original material) performed by fantastic (and famous) blues musicians. I could have done without Bart rapping but this is not a major complaint - Lisa singing the Moanin' Lisa Blues more than compensated. It brought a smile to my face and joy to my heart.
Something for everyone, 12 Feb 2002
This is definately a fantastic album. The tracks on it range from Bart and Jazzy Jeff rapping, to Homer and Marge Singing a catchy 1940's tune. It is really well worth owning and at the price, a steal. A must have for any Simpsons fan.
FUNKY FAMILY, 18 Dec 2001
Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie pour their hearts out about their garishly-coloured lives in a mixture of classic covers and songs written especially for them. Bart delivers the dance-raps of Do The Bartman and Deep Deep Trouble and also duets with Buster Pointdexter on Chuck Berry's School Days with Joe Walsh's guitar solos. Homer, full of woe and trouble, croons the classic blues Born Under A Bad Sign and Marge covers Springfield Soul Stew to the melody of Memphis Soul Stew. Together the two of them sing the romantic duet I Love To See You Smile with Dr John on piano and Roger McGuin on banjo. Blueshound Lisa shines on the Billie Holiday standard God Bless The Child and the original Moanin' Lisa Blues. This family is hot!
How can you grow tired of this?, 31 May 2001
If you like the TV show, buy the videos and worship the never-grow-old nature of the characters, thenthsi is the album for you. In my collection of Limp Bizkit, RATM, Metallica & Deftones, it seems a TADGE out of place, but it has me in creases every time - Homer's choices of jazz names for himself will NEVER not be funny!

Cinema at its best - with music to match!, 29 Oct 2005
Listening to this soundtrack - feels like watching the film, from the opening credits to the tie-fighters attacking the falcon to the death of obi-wan. You simply don't get the same feeling listening to any other soundtrack (maybe because of my mis-spent youth?). Fantastic, iconic, seminal, legendary, universally recognised, i could go on at length - but i think you get the picture. This album really doesn't need reviews anyway, if you've seen the film and liked it and you are looking at this page you'd be mad not to get this (and the other 2 in this trilogy). Simply the best!
Williams at his best, 20 Dec 2004
Star Wars Episodes IV, V, and VI: The original Trilogy. When the Star Wars movies first hit the Theaters in 1977, John Williams made a very large splash in the film music genre with his unparalleled "Main Title" which has become Iconic of Star Wars for the last 27 years ! Every body in the World knows the music from Star Wars, and thus they are all familiar with the typical John Williams style. In following John Williams throughout his career, and listening to all of the music that he has come out with, his "signature style" is apparent in all of his scores, especially in Star Wars. The most memorable pieces of the Original series undoubtably the "Main Title " and the "Imperial March or Darth Vaders Theme". I would like to draw attention to several others though that I think are certainly worthy of notation and listening. I would like to begin with "Tales of the Jedi, Learn about the Force" which appears as Track number 8 on the first CD of Episode 4. Here the wonderful and timeless "Jedi Theme" is layed out to accent the curious ways of the Jedi, and to lay into memory the good and wonderful morals of the movie. The next is on the second CD of Episode 5. You can find it by the name of "The Clash of the Lightsabers" or Track number 10. It is the first time that Williams really uses alot of Choir in the back ground to give great effect and spotlight the large battle between Good and Evil that the movie portrays. The Third and final comes of course on the second CD of Episode 6. It is the best of all the music that John wrote for the three movies, and is found on Track number 7 entitled " The Battle of Endor II". Here the famous final Duel between Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker begins. The music used to accent this piece is very powerful, foreboding, and wonderfully satisfying. This piece caps the struggle between Good and Evil that is the Story of Anakin Skywalker and his turn back to the Ligh side. John Williams accomplishments with these three movies have set the precedence and the standard for all other films that will come forth in the future. This is an opportunity to hear a master at work!

Product Description
This CD + DVD package comes with a Special Edition Amazon.co.uk Exclusive Slipcase. John Williams' lovely and moving score for the sixth Star Wars film brings thirty years of collaborating on George Lucas' beyond-popular intergalactic franchise to a close. (Is this really the end of Star Wars? Can't Lucas and Williams work together on a prequel to these prequels? Let us hope so, and that Jar Jar Binks is nowhere near it.) As this music accompanies the most exciting Star Wars film in many a moon, the soundtrack itself is more fun, more evil, more nasty and bumpy. Many of the heroic, anthemic themes woven throughout Episode Three: Revenge of the Sith will necessarily be familiar to any fan of the series, from the "Imperial March" to the main theme. It's remarkable how stirring the latter can be, no matter how many times you've heard it--even for those who do not have all their money invested in S.W. memorabilia. There is a lot of new music here, and the lush, extensive range of both Williams and the London Symphony Orchestra is on display, most notably in the menacing, percolating "General Grievous" and the rousing "New Hope" end theme. --Mike McGonigal

JOHN WILLIAMS'S BEST!!, 04 May 2008
Along with The Lord Of The Rings, one of the finest OSTs available!
Definiteley John Williams's finest of the Star Wars Saga!
Favourite pieces: Anakin's Betrayal (Order 66), The Immolation Scene (Vader burns) & The Birth of the Twins and Padmé's Destiny (basically Padme's funeral & the Vader/Palpatine/Tarkin scene)
Dark & heavy, a fitting climax - very moving & emotional music.
The Bonus DVD is great too!
Fantastic, 29 May 2007
It would be fair to say that the Star Wars prequels, or at least the first two, have failed to live up to expectations. Thankfully the music scores have been a continual strength. Episode III finally delivered on it's promise to tie up loose ends and to finally reveal how Anakin Skywalker finally succumbed to the Dark Side of the Force. The soundtrack, beginning with the familiar Star Wars fanfare, also brings the musical journey to a satisfying finale. The Bonus DVD is a joy, the London Philharmonic Orchestra tell the story of the whole saga with a montage of clips and pieces of music taken from all six films. In fact, you would be probably better off watching this than the first two films. For the prices you can get it for; this is a must!
Please please please.. release the complete recordings!, 23 Jan 2007
The final film; the final soundtrack. The soundtrack to end all soundtracks - the film finished on a flourish, as I left the cinema, i thought this is will be the soundtrack to have, what with the entire 'battle of the heroes' and the music when Anakin saunters up the steps of the Jedi Temple to wipe them all out.
So imagine my dissapointment. Every other Star Wars soundtrack (except episode 2, which, frankly, is no big deal) has a complete recording (and I have them all!).. not this one. The tracks are music from some of the key moments.. but is missing big chunks and other themes, like Anakin's march into the Jedi Temple. 3-stars 'cos its Star Wars and should be punished for not providing the complete score, gone are the days when a Star Wars product should automatically get a 4 or 5. My faith is lacking.. disturbing.. George Lucas, end it with a complete score, please!
Spectacular to the end, 04 Aug 2006
Another masterpiece from John Williams. The revenge of the sith CD can be described as a sweeping symphonic masterpiece, it provides a strong and moving climax to the epic prequel trilogy. Notable favourites for me are track 9 and 15; track 15 features 'The Throne Room' a classic piece from A New Hope, remastered perfectly, included in the track also is a version reminiscent of this which, is also enjoyable. Congratulations to John Williams for a suberb onclusion to the Star Wars music.
The best of them all, 17 May 2006
the score from revenge of the sith combines all the unforgetable themes from the previous films with new heartbreaking and emotionally charged music. it is my opinion that this is the best score of all.

In fact, you would be probably better off watching this than the first two films. For the prices you can get it for; this is a must!
Please please please.. release the complete recordings!, 23 Jan 2007
The final film; the final soundtrack. The soundtrack to end all soundtracks - the film finished on a flourish, as I left the cinema, i thought this is will be the soundtrack to have, what with the entire 'battle of the heroes' and the music when Anakin saunters up the steps of the Jedi Temple to wipe them all out.
So imagine my dissapointment. Every other Star Wars soundtrack (except episode 2, which, frankly, is no big deal) has a complete recording (and I have them all!).. not this one. The tracks are music from some of the key moments.. but is missing big chunks and other themes, like Anakin's march into the Jedi Temple. 3-stars 'cos its Star Wars and should be punished for not providing the complete score, gone are the days when a Star Wars product should automatically get a 4 or 5. My faith is lacking.. disturbing.. George Lucas, end it with a complete score, please!
Spectacular to the end, 04 Aug 2006
Another masterpiece from John Williams. The revenge of the sith CD can be described as a sweeping symphonic masterpiece, it provides a strong and moving climax to the epic prequel trilogy. Notable favourites for me are track 9 and 15; track 15 features 'The Throne Room' a classic piece from A New Hope, remastered perfectly, included in the track also is a version reminiscent of this which, is also enjoyable. Congratulations to John Williams for a suberb onclusion to the Star Wars music.
The best of them all, 17 May 2006
the score from revenge of the sith combines all the unforgetable themes from the previous films with new heartbreaking and emotionally charged music. it is my opinion that this is the best score of all.
Ok, but really it's a gimmick..., 25 Aug 2008
The best thing about this CD is the cover and I have to say, what a cover it is. The Sgt. Pepper spin off is very clever, however, the same can't be said for the music.
Though some of the songs are quite catchy, they aren't very tuneful and they aren't particularly funny. The high pitched tones of Lisa and Bart can become annoying and this isn't really one to listen to over and over again.
If you are a real Simpsons fan and can pick this up for under £2 go for it, otherwise, don't bother, you are better off with a poster of the cover instead.
Like It Or Lump It, This Is Simpson's Style! {Bartholomew. J. Simpson.}, 14 Jun 2008
This is the second album of originally recorded songs, but the 3rd album overall from the stateside satire sensation The Simpson's.
The albums title is a parody of The Beatles' album commonly known as The White Album, and the cover is a parody of their 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band..
This album contains 10 songs and 46 minutes worth of music:
1. LOVE? 3:50. It reminds me of the Will Smith song SUMMERTIME, 9/10.
2.SISTERS ARE DOIN IT FOR THEMSELVES 4:00. A rockin' Eurythmics cover, featuring Lisa & Marge Simpson, Patty & Selma Bouvier and Nancy & Ann Wilson of HEART! 10/10.
3. FUNNY HOW TIME SLIPS AWAY 4:07. Yet more proof Mr Dan Castellaneta has a fabulous voice! I would've liked this song more if Linda Ronstadt had duetted with Barney instead of Homer, because her and Homer never met in her episode! {MR PLOW, season 4} 9.5/10.
4. TWENTY - FOUR HOURS A DAY 4:24. Mr Hank Azaria showcases his fabulous Indian accent! 10/10.
5.THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF BART 6:08.
Thou shalt be sure to shake your big rear end.
Thou shalt always make rhymes.
Thou shalt procrastinate.
Thou shalt go wild.
Thou shalt dance like lunatics.
Thou shalt be alive.
Thou shalt slam the door.
Thou shalt question authority.
Thou shalt do exactly what you wanna do.
Thou shalt have fun.
The best song featuring Bart on this album {the others being tracks 1, 6, 8 and 10} 20/20.
6. I JUST CANT HELP MYSELF 4:59. An insight into the minds of our favourite family {Homers hip-hop is HILARIOUS!} 9/10.
7. SHE'S COMIN' OUT SWINGIN' 6:38. This song is supposed to be Lisa duetting with the P-FUNK ALL STARS, but she hardly features! 7/10.
8. ANYONE ELSE 3:57. A Bart and Lisa duet, 8.5/10.
9. EVERY SUMMER WITH YOU 3:37.
A Marge and Homer duet, 9.5/10.
10. HAIL TO THEE KAMP KRUSTY 5:01. A school choir, guitars and jazz? It can only be the Simpson's! {this song is a different version to the one featured in the season 4 episode KAMP KRUSTY} 8.5/10.
This album doesn't come with song words, but rather an A4-ish piece of paper that folds out to reveal who worked on what song and what the characters names are on the front cover {see my customer images.}
To conclude, not my favourite Simpson's album, but a good album nonetheless.
Utterly fabulous!
YOU GOTTA GET THIS !!!!!, 15 Jul 2005
I got this album today,i bought it really because of the spoof Sgt pepper cover,however now i have listened to the cd,i cant get enough of it. If this album had been vinyl,it would have been worn out by now!

Product Description
The most eagerly anticipated movie of 1999, if not the decade, The Phantom Menace was also a mouth-watering prospect for soundtrack fans. Star Wars, after all, has become arguably the best-known and most influential movie score ever written, so a new instalment from John Williams, performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, was always going to be a cause for celebration. And if the movie proved ultimately unable to live up to audience's almost impossibly high expectations, the music more than compensated. This is Williams at his expansive best. Always a supremely confident inhabitant of the Star Wars universe, the composer once again marshals the techniques of leitmotif and thematic transformation to depict the exotic landscapes of George Lucas's imagination; and here, 22 years after the original, his scoring exudes the maturity of a highly accomplished master of his craft. Take the centrally important "Anakin's Theme", for example, in which the seeds are sown for transformation into "The Imperial March" (Darth Vader's theme), or the Miklós Rózsa-esque march of "The Flag Parade" (the comparison with Ben-Hur is only fitting in context), or the magnificent choral set-piece, "Duel Of The Fates", in which a choir chanting a Sanskrit text (!) is propelled headlong over a driving ostinato rhythm. Original themes are used sparingly, but when the Force theme floats ethereally into "Watto's Deal" or the Emperor's sinister theme introduces "The Appearance Of Darth Maul", their impact is all the more telling for its subtlety. Throughout, the picturesque orchestration conjures vivid images--whether or not you are thinking of the movie--helped greatly by a magnificent performance from the LSO, whose excitement and sense of enjoyment in this music is tangible (the brass playing is, as ever with this team, a joy to behold). The recording at Abbey Road Studio No. 1 is also one of the most realistic ever captured on disc: listen through good speakers and it's like sitting in the studio itself. This 74-minute album assembled by the composer is intended to offer a musically coherent presentation: doubtless a complete version of this score will surface to satisfy collectors, but for now there's scarcely a better way to experience the magical fusion of music and cinema. --Mark Walker
Customer Reviews
I love Buster Poindexter!, 05 Apr 2008
This is the debut album from the pop cultural phenomenon with, amongst other things, its own star on the Hollywood walk of fame, THE SIMPSONS.
This album features 5 original Simpson's songs & 5 covers of classic blues songs, all sung in the inimitable Simpson's style.
1.DO THE BARTMAN - 5:11.
A number one hit co written by Michael Jackson!
2.SCHOOL DAY - 3:57.
A rockin' cover of Chuck Berry's song, featuring Bart Simpson and Buster Poindexter {David Johansen.}
3.BORN UNDER A BAD SIGN - 3:08.
Dan Castellaneta doing Homer Simpson doing Albert King!
4.MOANIN' LISA BLUES - 4:49.
My favourite line in this BLACK VELVET {Alannah Myles} sounding song is "I'm down so low, if I cheered up I'd still be depressed!"
Sounds different to when it featured in the season 1 episode MOANING LISA, but it's equally as good, if not better!
5.DEEP DEEP TROUBLE - 4:28.
Bart raps about what happened to him "Once upon a time, about a week ago."
6.GOD BLESS THE CHILD - 4:31.
The slowest and most soulful song on the album. It features Lisa Simpson & Bleeding Gums Murphy {Ron Taylor}.
7.I LOVE TO SEE YOU SMILE - 3:07.
A Marge & Homer duet.
8.SPRINGFIELD SOUL STEW - 2:38.
Marge Simpson's version of MEMPHIS SOUL STEW.
Play it loud, & play it proud!

Harry Shearer talking to himself! {He voices Mr Burns AND Mr Smithers!}
10.SIBLING RIVALRY - 4:40.
A Bart & Lisa duet.
ALBUM DURATION: 40 minutes 23 seconds.
Also, this album features B.B King, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Dr John and Marcy Levy.
This album doesn't come with song words, but the enclosed booklet does contain five small black and white pictures of the Simpson's cast with their aliases.
The perfect soundtrack to accompany a mundane chore; it'll go in a flash!
Utterly fabulous! Fantastic, 03 Feb 2005
This album is fantastic - it is a wonderful fusion of two of my favourite things: the Simpsons and the blues. This is not a rip-off designed to cash in on the fame of the Simpsons. It is a fabulous CD in its own right. The songs are all sung by members of the Simpsons family - the lyrics are original and appropriate to the character. The music is mostly blues classics (with some original material) performed by fantastic (and famous) blues musicians. I could have done without Bart rapping but this is not a major complaint - Lisa singing the Moanin' Lisa Blues more than compensated. It brought a smile to my face and joy to my heart.
Something for everyone, 12 Feb 2002
This is definately a fantastic album. The tracks on it range from Bart and Jazzy Jeff rapping, to Homer and Marge Singing a catchy 1940's tune. It is really well worth owning and at the price, a steal. A must have for any Simpsons fan.
FUNKY FAMILY, 18 Dec 2001
Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie pour their hearts out about their garishly-coloured lives in a mixture of classic covers and songs written especially for them. Bart delivers the dance-raps of Do The Bartman and Deep Deep Trouble and also duets with Buster Pointdexter on Chuck Berry's School Days with Joe Walsh's guitar solos. Homer, full of woe and trouble, croons the classic blues Born Under A Bad Sign and Marge covers Springfield Soul Stew to the melody of Memphis Soul Stew. Together the two of them sing the romantic duet I Love To See You Smile with Dr John on piano and Roger McGuin on banjo. Blueshound Lisa shines on the Billie Holiday standard God Bless The Child and the original Moanin' Lisa Blues. This family is hot!
How can you grow tired of this?, 31 May 2001
If you like the TV show, buy the videos and worship the never-grow-old nature of the characters, thenthsi is the album for you. In my collection of Limp Bizkit, RATM, Metallica & Deftones, it seems a TADGE out of place, but it has me in creases every time - Homer's choices of jazz names for himself will NEVER not be funny!
Cinema at its best - with music to match!, 29 Oct 2005
Listening to this soundtrack - feels like watching the film, from the opening credits to the tie-fighters attacking the falcon to the death of obi-wan. You simply don't get the same feeling listening to any other soundtrack (maybe because of my mis-spent youth?). Fantastic, iconic, seminal, legendary, universally recognised, i could go on at length - but i think you get the picture. This album really doesn't need reviews anyway, if you've seen the film and liked it and you are looking at this page you'd be mad not to get this (and the other 2 in this trilogy). Simply the best!
Williams at his best, 20 Dec 2004
Star Wars Episodes IV, V, and VI: The original Trilogy. When the Star Wars movies first hit the Theaters in 1977, John Williams made a very large splash in the film music genre with his unparalleled "Main Title" which has become Iconic of Star Wars for the last 27 years ! Every body in the World knows the music from Star Wars, and thus they are all familiar with the typical John Williams style. In following John Williams throughout his career, and listening to all of the music that he has come out with, his "signature style" is apparent in all of his scores, especially in Star Wars. The most memorable pieces of the Original series undoubtably the "Main Title " and the "Imperial March or Darth Vaders Theme". I would like to draw attention to several others though that I think are certainly worthy of notation and listening. I would like to begin with "Tales of the Jedi, Learn about the Force" which appears as Track number 8 on the first CD of Episode 4. Here the wonderful and timeless "Jedi Theme" is layed out to accent the curious ways of the Jedi, and to lay into memory the good and wonderful morals of the movie. The next is on the second CD of Episode 5. You can find it by the name of "The Clash of the Lightsabers" or Track number 10. It is the first time that Williams really uses alot of Choir in the back ground to give great effect and spotlight the large battle between Good and Evil that the movie portrays. The Third and final comes of course on the second CD of Episode 6. It is the best of all the music that John wrote for the three movies, and is found on Track number 7 entitled " The Battle of Endor II". Here the famous final Duel between Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker begins. The music used to accent this piece is very powerful, foreboding, and wonderfully satisfying. This piece caps the struggle between Good and Evil that is the Story of Anakin Skywalker and his turn back to the Ligh side. John Williams accomplishments with these three movies have set the precedence and the standard for all other films that will come forth in the future. This is an opportunity to hear a master at work!
JOHN WILLIAMS'S BEST!!, 04 May 2008
Along with The Lord Of The Rings, one of the finest OSTs available!
Definiteley John Williams's finest of the Star Wars Saga!
Favourite pieces: Anakin's Betrayal (Order 66), The Immolation Scene (Vader burns) & The Birth of the Twins and Padmé's Destiny (basically Padme's funeral & the Vader/Palpatine/Tarkin scene)
Dark & heavy, a fitting climax - very moving & emotional music.
The Bonus DVD is great too!
Fantastic, 29 May 2007
It would be fair to say that the Star Wars prequels, or at least the first two, have failed to live up to expectations. Thankfully the music scores have been a continual strength. Episode III finally delivered on it's promise to tie up loose ends and to finally reveal how Anakin Skywalker finally succumbed to the Dark Side of the Force. The soundtrack, beginning with the familiar Star Wars fanfare, also brings the musical journey to a satisfying finale. The Bonus DVD is a joy, the London Philharmonic Orchestra tell the story of the whole saga with a montage of clips and pieces of music taken from all six films. In fact, you would be probably better off watching this than the first two films. For the prices you can get it for; this is a must!

The soundtrack to end all soundtracks - the film finished on a flourish, as I left the cinema, i thought this is will be the soundtrack to have, what with the entire 'battle of the heroes' and the music when Anakin saunters up the steps of the Jedi Temple to wipe them all out.

Absolutley Wonderful, 20 Dec 2004
Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menace. Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menace was the first of the "New Movies" that George Lucas has done, and he has brought back to the helm John Williams, Naturally! John has done it again! The music on this Soundtrack is of utmost quality, but nothing to surpass the originality of the first three feature films; Episodes 4, 5, and 6. The story for episode one may have seemed a bit juvenile when comapred to the first of the Star Wars Saga, but the music is still top Notch. I like to draw particular attention to Track Number 2; entitled "Duel of the Fates". What a wonderful piece of Cinematic music! It begins with outright showing of the power of the intended piece, with a simple three measure unaccompanied Choir burst which then ceases, and then the following silence gives way to an almost unhearable melody that gets your fingers tapping. It then begins to grow and the choir is then brought back into the piece, and it swells to a level that makes your sound system beg for mercy if at any reasonable volume. The piece then continues on as a fantastic deluge of sound that ends abruptly, but promptly after nearly 5 minutes. This piece make the CD worth its price. The other pieces that highlight this Soundtrack are; Track 8 "He is the Chosen One", Track 10 "Passage through the Planet Core", and Track 14 "The Droid Invasion and The Appearance of Darth Maul". This music is typical and pure Williams all of the way, and it is sure to please even the most devoted Williams music Fan!
John Williams picks up where he left off..., 23 Aug 2004
The rousing, and epics scores of the original trilogy, are the best part of the stories, if not the whole series of movies. The movies and powerful epic that is called the Imperial March are one of the most well known and one of the strongest pieces of film music that has ever been written. John Williams then ingeniously re-engineered old themes to provide new ones that tie togehter old and new. When I heard about the release of the first of the series of 3 prequels, I beleived that it might be a flop, with the newer technology that promised to help out the cinematic elements of an aged theme. But the music brings sanity and congruence to parts in the movie that would make you cough. John williams is a master at writing for film, and has again taken the cup with no complaints from anybody. The best piece, and perhaps the most popular on this CD, is one of his best, it lies on track 2 and is entitled the "Duel of the fates". What an extrodinarily powerful piece of cinemtaic masterwork. John Williams gets not only two thumbs up form Siskel and Ebert, but thumbs up form a loyalist of the Star Wars Franchise. Well done! Very worth the money!
Worth it for 'Duel of the Fates', 08 Jan 2003
John Williams music is always good and his Star Wars related themes are particularly wonderful. This CD provides pretty much everything that you'd expect, so does not really require much of a review. For me, far and away the best scene in the film is the fight between Qui-Gon, Obi-wan, and Darth Maul which is accompanied by the stirring piece of music 'Duel of the Fates'. Being able to listen to this piece alone had made this CD worth buying. Other than this, it makes pretty effective background music if you want a change from pop music.
Wow!, 11 Nov 2000
Absolutely loved it!Im 15,female and this is my favourite album.I was always a Star Wars fan but this soundtrack surpasses the previous three.My favourites are "Anakin's Theme","Duel of Fates" and "He is the Chosen One".The music is familiar yet in other ways completely different.I loved the "Force" music in "Watto's Deal" and the Darth Vader theme in "The High Council Meeting".I never heard anything like this!
The force is strong with this one.., 19 Oct 2000
John Williams has exceeded himself once again and even after all this time he still hasn't lost his touch. The pieces are well written and still contain the Star Wars element experienced by many over 20 years ago, which we have all grown up to reconise and love soo well. The soundtrack is classed with the rest of the Trilogies soundtack and no less, this is no doubt a brilliant CD. Keep up the good work John Williams!

Cinema at its best - with music to match!, 29 Oct 2005
Listening to this soundtrack - feels like watching the film, from the opening credits to the tie-fighters attacking the falcon to the death of obi-wan. You simply don't get the same feeling listening to any other soundtrack (maybe because of my mis-spent youth?). Fantastic, iconic, seminal, legendary, universally recognised, i could go on at length - but i think you get the picture. This album really doesn't need reviews anyway, if you've seen the film and liked it and you are looking at this page you'd be mad not to get this (and the other 2 in this trilogy). Simply the best!
Williams at his best, 20 Dec 2004
Star Wars Episodes IV, V, and VI: The original Trilogy. When the Star Wars movies first hit the Theaters in 1977, John Williams made a very large splash in the film music genre with his unparalleled "Main Title" which has become Iconic of Star Wars for the last 27 years ! Every body in the World knows the music from Star Wars, and thus they are all familiar with the typical John Williams style. In following John Williams throughout his career, and listening to all of the music that he has come out with, his "signature style" is apparent in all of his scores, especially in Star Wars. The most memorable pieces of the Original series undoubtably the "Main Title " and the "Imperial March or Darth Vaders Theme". I would like to draw attention to several others though that I think are certainly worthy of notation and listening. I would like to begin with "Tales of the Jedi, Learn about the Force" which appears as Track number 8 on the first CD of Episode 4. Here the wonderful and timeless "Jedi Theme" is layed out to accent the curious ways of the Jedi, and to lay into memory the good and wonderful morals of the movie. The next is on the second CD of Episode 5. You can find it by the name of "The Clash of the Lightsabers" or Track number 10. It is the first time that Williams really uses alot of Choir in the back ground to give great effect and spotlight the large battle between Good and Evil that the movie portrays. The Third and final comes of course on the second CD of Episode 6. It is the best of all the music that John wrote for the three movies, and is found on Track number 7 entitled " The Battle of Endor II". Here the famous final Duel between Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker begins. The music used to accent this piece is very powerful, foreboding, and wonderfully satisfying. This piece caps the struggle between Good and Evil that is the Story of Anakin Skywalker and his turn back to the Ligh side. John Williams accomplishments with these three movies have set the precedence and the standard for all other films that will come forth in the future. This is an opportunity to hear a master at work!
JOHN WILLIAMS'S BEST!!, 04 May 2008
Along with The Lord Of The Rings, one of the finest OSTs available!
Definiteley John Williams's finest of the Star Wars Saga!
Favourite pieces: Anakin's Betrayal (Order 66), The Immolation Scene (Vader burns) & The Birth of the Twins and Padmé's Destiny (basically Padme's funeral & the Vader/Palpatine/Tarkin scene)
Dark & heavy, a fitting climax - very moving & emotional music.
The Bonus DVD is great too!
Fantastic, 29 May 2007
It would be fair to say that the Star Wars prequels, or at least the first two, have failed to live up to expectations. Thankfully the music scores have been a continual strength. Episode III finally delivered on it's promise to tie up loose ends and to finally reveal how Anakin Skywalker finally succumbed to the Dark Side of the Force. The soundtrack, beginning with the familiar Star Wars fanfare, also brings the musical journey to a satisfying finale. The Bonus DVD is a joy, the London Philharmonic Orchestra tell the story of the whole saga with a montage of clips and pieces of music taken from all six films. In fact, you would be probably better off watching this than the first two films. For the prices you can get it for; this is a must!
Please please please.. release the complete recordings!, 23 Jan 2007
The final film; the final soundtrack. The soundtrack to end all soundtracks - the film finished on a flourish, as I left the cinema, i thought this is will be the soundtrack to have, what with the entire 'battle of the heroes' and the music when Anakin saunters up the steps of the Jedi Temple to wipe them all out.
So imagine my dissapointment. Every other Star Wars soundtrack (except episode 2, which, frankly, is no big deal) has a complete recording (and I have them all!).. not this one. The tracks are music from some of the key moments.. but is missing big chunks and other themes, like Anakin's march into the Jedi Temple. 3-stars 'cos its Star Wars and should be punished for not providing the complete score, gone are the days when a Star Wars product should automatically get a 4 or 5. My faith is lacking.. disturbing.. George Lucas, end it with a complete score, please!
Spectacular to the end, 04 Aug 2006
Another masterpiece from John Williams. The revenge of the sith CD can be described as a sweeping symphonic masterpiece, it provides a strong and moving climax to the epic prequel trilogy. Notable favourites for me are track 9 and 15; track 15 features 'The Throne Room' a classic piece from A New Hope, remastered perfectly, included in the track also is a version reminiscent of this which, is also enjoyable. Congratulations to John Williams for a suberb onclusion to the Star Wars music.
The best of them all, 17 May 2006
the score from revenge of the sith combines all the unforgetable themes from the previous films with new heartbreaking and emotionally charged music. it is my opinion that this is the best score of all.
Ok, but really it's a gimmick..., 25 Aug 2008
The best thing about this CD is the cover and I have to say, what a cover it is. The Sgt. Pepper spin off is very clever, however, the same can't be said for the music.
Though some of the songs are quite catchy, they aren't very tuneful and they aren't particularly funny. The high pitched tones of Lisa and Bart can become annoying and this isn't really one to listen to over and over again.
If you are a real Simpsons fan and can pick this up for under £2 go for it, otherwise, don't bother, you are better off with a poster of the cover instead.
Like It Or Lump It, This Is Simpson's Style! {Bartholomew. J. Simpson.}, 14 Jun 2008
This is the second album of originally recorded songs, but the 3rd album overall from the stateside satire sensation The Simpson's.
The albums title is a parody of The Beatles' album commonly known as The White Album, and the cover is a parody of their 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band..
This album contains 10 songs and 46 minutes worth of music:
1. LOVE? 3:50. It reminds me of the Will Smith song SUMMERTIME, 9/10.
2.SISTERS ARE DOIN IT FOR THEMSELVES 4:00. A rockin' Eurythmics cover, featuring Lisa & Marge Simpson, Patty & Selma Bouvier and Nancy & Ann Wilson of HEART! 10/10.
3. FUNNY HOW TIME SLIPS AWAY 4:07. Yet more proof Mr Dan Castellaneta has a fabulous voice! I would've liked this song more if Linda Ronstadt had duetted with Barney instead of Homer, because her and Homer never met in her episode! {MR PLOW, season 4} 9.5/10.
4. TWENTY - FOUR HOURS A DAY 4:24. Mr Hank Azaria showcases his fabulous Indian accent! 10/10.
5.THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF BART 6:08.
Thou shalt be sure to shake your big rear end.
Thou shalt always make rhymes.
Thou shalt procrastinate.
Thou shalt go wild.
Thou shalt dance like lunatics.
Thou shalt be alive.
Thou shalt slam the door.
Thou shalt question authority.
Thou shalt do exactly what you wanna do.
Thou shalt have fun.
The best song featuring Bart on this album {the others being tracks 1, 6, 8 and 10} 20/20.
6. I JUST CANT HELP MYSELF 4:59. An insight into the minds of our favourite family {Homers hip-hop is HILARIOUS!} 9/10.
7. SHE'S COMIN' OUT SWINGIN' 6:38. This song is supposed to be Lisa duetting with the P-FUNK ALL STARS, but she hardly features! 7/10.
8. ANYONE ELSE 3:57. A Bart and Lisa duet, 8.5/10.
9. EVERY SUMMER WITH YOU 3:37.
A Marge and Homer duet, 9.5/10.
10. HAIL TO THEE KAMP KRUSTY 5:01. A school choir, guitars and jazz? It can only be the Simpson's! {this song is a different version to the one featured in the season 4 episode KAMP KRUSTY} 8.5/10.
This album doesn't come with song words, but rather an A4-ish piece of paper that folds out to reveal who worked on what song and what the characters names are on the front cover {see my customer images.}
To conclude, not my favourite Simpson's album, but a good album nonetheless.
Utterly fabulous!
YOU GOTTA GET THIS !!!!!, 15 Jul 2005
I got this album today,i bought it really because of the spoof Sgt pepper cover,however now i have listened to the cd,i cant get enough of it. If this album had been vinyl,it would have been worn out by now! My favourite track,and it's still implanted in my brain now is,Ten commandments of Bart,a catchy tune or wot,get the album,get on your headphones,turn up the volume,and let rip,if your head does not bop from side to side to my favorite track,then you must be dead. Dava from GT Britain.
46 minutes of pleasure, 16 May 2005
This Album has been out for the last 7 years since 1998 and there still saying its not to be released till next week ! Well stand for it no longer if u are a simpsons fan or just a fan of fun cool music purchase this and my only reason for not giving this a 5 star is because it doesn't quite match the simpsons sing the blues so go to amazon.com and buy it from the good ol U.S.A
brillient, 10 Sep 2000
this is another great simpsons album my favourite songs on it are 24 hours aday - apu and love? another simpsons masterpiece
Absolutley Wonderful, 20 Dec 2004
Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menace. Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menace was the first of the "New Movies" that George Lucas has done, and he has brought back to the helm John Williams, Naturally! John has done it again! The music on this Soundtrack is of utmost quality, but nothing to surpass the originality of the first three feature films; Episodes 4, 5, and 6. The story for episode one may have seemed a bit juvenile when comapred to the first of the Star Wars Saga, but the music is still top Notch. I like to draw particular attention to Track Number 2; entitled "Duel of the Fates". What a wonderful piece of Cinematic music! It begins with outright showing of the power of the intended piece, with a simple three measure unaccompanied Choir burst which then ceases, and then the following silence gives way to an almost unhearable melody that gets your fingers tapping. It then begins to grow and the choir is then brought back into the piece, and it swells to a level that makes your sound system beg for mercy if at any reasonable volume. The piece then continues on as a fantastic deluge of sound that ends abruptly, but promptly after nearly 5 minutes. This piece make the CD worth its price. The other pieces that highlight this Soundtrack are; Track 8 "He is the Chosen One", Track 10 "Passage through the Planet Core", and Track 14 "The Droid Invasion and The Appearance of Darth Maul". This music is typical and pure Williams all of the way, and it is sure to please even the most devoted Williams music Fan!
John Williams picks up where he left off..., 23 Aug 2004
The rousing, and epics scores of the original trilogy, are the best part of the stories, if not the whole series of movies. The movies and powerful epic that is called the Imperial March are one of the most well known and one of the strongest pieces of film music that has ever been written. John Williams then ingeniously re-engineered old themes to provide new ones that tie togehter old and new. When I heard about the release of the first of the series of 3 prequels, I beleived that it might be a flop, with the newer technology that promised to help out the cinematic elements of an aged theme. But the music brings sanity and congruence to parts in the movie that would make you cough. John williams is a master at writing for film, and has again taken the cup with no complaints from anybody. The best piece, and perhaps the most popular on this CD, is one of his best, it lies on track 2 and is entitled the "Duel of the fates". What an extrodinarily powerful piece of cinemtaic masterwork. John Williams gets not only two thumbs up form Siskel and Ebert, but thumbs up form a loyalist of the Star Wars Franchise. Well done! Very worth the money!
Worth it for 'Duel of the Fates', 08 Jan 2003
John Williams music is always good and his Star Wars related themes are particularly wonderful. This CD provides pretty much everything that you'd expect, so does not really require much of a review. For me, far and away the best scene in the film is the fight between Qui-Gon, Obi-wan, and Darth Maul which is accompanied by the stirring piece of music 'Duel of the Fates'. Being able to listen to this piece alone had made this CD worth buying. Other than this, it makes pretty effective background music if you want a change from pop music.
Wow!, 11 Nov 2000
Absolutely loved it!Im 15,female and this is my favourite album.I was always a Star Wars fan but this soundtrack surpasses the previous three.My favourites are "Anakin's Theme","Duel of Fates" and "He is the Chosen One".The music is familiar yet in other ways completely different.I loved the "Force" music in "Watto's Deal" and the Darth Vader theme in "The High Council Meeting".I never heard anything like this!
The force is strong with this one.., 19 Oct 2000
John Williams has exceeded himself once again and even after all this time he still hasn't lost his touch. The pieces are well written and still contain the Star Wars element experienced by many over 20 years ago, which we have all grown up to reconise and love soo well. The soundtrack is classed with the rest of the Trilogies soundtack and no less, this is no doubt a brilliant CD. Keep up the good work John Williams!
Disney Back On Form, 09 Sep 2005
The original score for Toy Story is probably the best music Randy Newman has ever written. The Score contains dozens of original themes all of which are interesting and instantly memorable. As well as the score Newman also wrote 3 songs for the movie all of which are performed by himself and have heartfelt meaning and a certain honesty that only Newman can create. Newman joins the select group of composers who have been successful at Disney Scoring including George Bruns & The Sherman Brothers, and the legends that are Alan Menken & Howard Ashman. Newman went on to score the sequel as well as other Disney Pixar movies, although very good and worth checking out none of them match his original score for Toy Story.
magical, 10 Aug 2002
This soundtrack is very good because of the freindly songs on it written by Randy Newman and the orchestral pieces which take you through the film once more- without having to watch it. The tracks 4-15 are purely instrumental and create suspense, sadness and all sorts of emotions due to the build up of separate instruments and the volume of the music. My favorite song is the third on the cd 'I will go sailing no more'. This is because it is quite sad and emotional. You will recognise the music throughout this CD from scenes in the film. Randy Newman has a fantastic voice and it is apsolutely perfect for these songs. I would definately reccomend this to anyone who enjoyed the film.
Long live BUzz and Woody, 20 Jan 2001
This is a album that any true toy story fan must have.Its full of the joyfull music by randy newman,that helped make the film a joy to watch.The best tracks are 'you've got a friend in me' and the unforgetable 'strange things'.Topped off with 'i will go sailing no more' it makes this a joy to listen to,time and time again.the final song is a wonderfull duet with Lyle Lovett of 'you've got a friend in me'.The album helps every person listening to relive the wonderful adventure of Woody and Buzz.The soundtrack is one of my most listened to albums,but dont just belive me,buy it and relive the adventures again and again.
Amazing!, 29 Nov 2000
Randy Newman has written the most beautiful song, "When she loved me" wich is on this CD. It's sang by Sarah MClauchlan, who is really popular in the states. This song is really sad, but makes you want to hear it over and over. i recomend it to everyone.

I love Buster Poindexter!, 05 Apr 2008
This is the debut album from the pop cultural phenomenon with, amongst other things, its own star on the Hollywood walk of fame, THE SIMPSONS.
This album features 5 original Simpson's songs & 5 covers of classic blues songs, all sung in the inimitable Simpson's style.
1.DO THE BARTMAN - 5:11.
A number one hit co written by Michael Jackson!
2.SCHOOL DAY - 3:57.
A rockin' cover of Chuck Berry's song, featuring Bart Simpson and Buster Poindexter {David Johansen.}
3.BORN UNDER A BAD SIGN - 3:08.
Dan Castellaneta doing Homer Simpson doing Albert King!
4.MOANIN' LISA BLUES - 4:49.
My favourite line in this BLACK VELVET {Alannah Myles} sounding song is "I'm down so low, if I cheered up I'd still be depressed!"
Sounds different to when it featured in the season 1 episode MOANING LISA, but it's equally as good, if not better!
5.DEEP DEEP TROUBLE - 4:28.
Bart raps about what happened to him "Once upon a time, about a week ago."
6.GOD BLESS THE CHILD - 4:31.
The slowest and most soulful song on the album. It features Lisa Simpson & Bleeding Gums Murphy {Ron Taylor}.
7.I LOVE TO SEE YOU SMILE - 3:07.
A Marge & Homer duet.
8.SPRINGFIELD SOUL STEW - 2:38.
Marge Simpson's version of MEMPHIS SOUL STEW.
Play it loud, & play it proud!
9.LOOK AT ALL THOSE IDIOTS - 3:52.
Harry Shearer talking to himself! {He voices Mr Burns AND Mr Smithers!}
10.SIBLING RIVALRY - 4:40.
A Bart & Lisa duet.
ALBUM DURATION: 40 minutes 23 seconds.
Also, this album features B.B King, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Dr John and Marcy Levy.
This album doesn't come with song words, but the enclosed booklet does contain five small black and white pictures of the Simpson's cast with their aliases.
The perfect soundtrack to accompany a mundane chore; it'll go in a flash!
Utterly fabulous! Fantastic, 03 Feb 2005
This album is fantastic - it is a wonderful fusion of two of my favourite things: the Simpsons and the blues. This is not a rip-off designed to cash in on the fame of the Simpsons. It is a fabulous CD in its own right. The songs are all sung by members of the Simpsons family - the lyrics are original and appropriate to the character. The music is mostly blues classics (with some original material) performed by fantastic (and famous) blues musicians. I could have done without Bart rapping but this is not a major complaint - Lisa singing the Moanin' Lisa Blues more than compensated. It brought a smile to my face and joy to my heart.
Something for everyone, 12 Feb 2002
This is definately a fantastic album. The tracks on it range from Bart and Jazzy Jeff rapping, to Homer and Marge Singing a catchy 1940's tune. It is really well worth owning and at the price, a steal. A must have for any Simpsons fan.
FUNKY FAMILY, 18 Dec 2001
Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie pour their hearts out about their garishly-coloured lives in a mixture of classic covers and songs written especially for them. Bart delivers the dance-raps of Do The Bartman and Deep Deep Trouble and also duets with Buster Pointdexter on Chuck Berry's School Days with Joe Walsh's guitar solos. Homer, full of woe and trouble, croons the classic blues Born Under A Bad Sign and Marge covers Springfield Soul Stew to the melody of Memphis Soul Stew. Together the two of them sing the romantic duet I Love To See You Smile with Dr John on piano and Roger McGuin on banjo. Blueshound Lisa shines on the Billie Holiday standard God Bless The Child and the original Moanin' Lisa Blues. This family is hot!
How can you grow tired of this?, 31 May 2001
If you like the TV show, buy the videos and worship the never-grow-old nature of the characters, thenthsi is the album for you. In my collection of Limp Bizkit, RATM, Metallica & Deftones, it seems a TADGE out of place, but it has me in creases every time - Homer's choices of jazz names for himself will NEVER not be funny!
