spectacular music for a war hero4
In 1976 I bought this LP version of the original soundtrack. It was warped! But I managed to get it taped. The triplets that chills you at the start of a cue was done through an echo device. This LP version was a re-recording and not the actual film soundtrack which was released in 1999 through Film Score Monthly magazine. The LP version is the one to go for because it is fuller and conducted with great verve by Goldsmith himself.The actual soundtrack version has very sparse orchestration and does not do so well on first hearing. My first choice is the Tsunami label LP version which includes the opening fanfare before George C. Scott`s inspirational speech.It also includes the closing speech spoken so philosophically by Scott. Second choice would be the actual soundtrack and last the re-recording coupled with Tora Tora. Anyone know where I could get an intermediate piano version of the score or Patton March ? The sheet music I have is too simple ! The March is not only martial it is very fun to conduct.

Not for fans of the original score2
Don't buy this if you want a CD version of the original vinyl soundtrack. This is a new and somewhat different rendition of the score and it's missing George C. Scott's classic opening address to the troops and his closing statement. Also, in my opinion, some of the music isn't as good as the original.

Good CD, only wish it contained original recordings.3
I love the score from "Patton," however I was somewhat dissapointed that this CD didn't contain the original records. However, the music is excellent and as it is the only CD that contains the theme from "Patton," I don't have a choice! :)
