{"product_id":"john-williams-jaws-original-motion-picture-soundtrack","title":"John Williams - Jaws (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwo notes, a low growl and a rising sense of dread: John Williams' score for Jaws changed how audiences felt about the ocean, and this soundtrack album gathers it on a single LP.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReleased in 1975 alongside Steven Spielberg's summer blockbuster, the record is its own creation rather than a straight lift from the film. Williams expanded and rearranged his cues and recorded them fresh for the album, shaping the music into something that plays beautifully away from the screen. The score went on to win the Academy Award, and its main theme became one of the most recognizable pieces of music in cinema.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Main Title (Theme From Jaws)\" is pure primal suspense, with low strings circling closer and closer until the whole orchestra bites. The album has plenty of light, too. \"Promenade (Tourists on the Menu)\" is a jaunty, seaside-band slice of small-town Americana, and \"One Barrel Chase\" bursts into swashbuckling adventure in the grand tradition of old Hollywood sea pictures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWilliams balances terror and wonder with remarkable control, and the brass and percussion writing still sounds thrilling on a good system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor film music fans, it's a cornerstone of the run of scores that made Williams a household name, and proof that a great soundtrack can stand entirely on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67769077793058,"sku":"602547138415","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/2080\/8994\/files\/John_Williams-Jaws_Original_Motion_Picture_Soundtrack_e389e599-bbc2-4b8b-a477-fae101ee3580.jpg?v=1794378923","url":"https:\/\/soulfulvinyl.com\/products\/john-williams-jaws-original-motion-picture-soundtrack","provider":"Soulful Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
