 - Buy the imported original release before this oneThis is a re- recording of the soundtrack it is good, but start with the original (also available through amazon - import) it is tighter and once you have heard it, this release sounds slightly "newer". What ever you do do not buy the re-recording of Mannix by Lalo - it is bland compared to the original TV tracks, and has a real pathetic track called "Mannix Mixdown" - scary, and it's not even halloween yet.......... Rating:  - SLICKBullitt is and has been one of my all time favorite movies. I think what makes this such an incredible soundtrack is the way Lalo has crafted a score around each segment of the movie - such that each time a piece of music is heard, it actually makes you a part of that particular scene. With the exception of the main title theme, it would be tough for each track to actually stand on its own. However, when you look at the intent of any movie score and what it is supposed to convey, Lalo definitely hits the mark on this one. As a sidebar, if you follow many of Lalo's scores and studio albums, you can find a commonality, similiar to hearing a piece by Eric Clapton or Carlos Santana - they each have a signature way about them. If you get the opportunity to listen to the movie versions of Enter The Dragon, Kelly's Heroes, and Dirty Harry, and, this years Grammy nominated Latin Jazz Suite, you will understand what I mean. Lalo possesses a profund eclecticism and knows how to share it with his listeners! Rating: - Bullitt (1968 Film)Aunque dudo que alguien pueda leer esto, espero que todos los internautas que hablen castellano sepan lo brillante que es el trabajo de Schiffrin en esta banda sonora que incluye temas ineditos y las versiones de la pelicula de algunas canciones que no se editaron en su momento. A todos los que puedan entenderme y a los que se molesten en traducirme, os lo recomiendo. Pedidlo!

Magnificent score, fabulous NEW recording and unbelievable reading of a true 1968 classic. This soundtrack was the pre-cursor to another of one Lalo's famous undertakings, that of DIRTY HARRY (1971) and the picture-filled liner notes tell you the tale of Lalo's unforgettable scores in all cases. As a new recording, you will be amazed...I mean, what made these 60s soundtracks so distinguishable were the SOUNDS of the instruments, let alone the actual notes they were playing. Well, rest assured, they've left every authentic element in tact, with the exception of the addition of Fine, True-Digital Fidelty..even the drums (which were clearly close and distance-miked) have that pure GROOVY feel...I can't rave enough about this. You can also find the Dirty Harry/Magnum Force collection available; that music, however, though beyond incredible, is from the actual movie (original recordings) and suffers from poor fidelity, 'fake' stereo imaging, and often over-modulated bass. BUY THIS CD...Relive the brilliance that was 1968 and long hail the grooviest film-scorer of them all...Rock on, Lalo Schifrin.
