Vinyl, or even film, aficionados will tell you that this is NOT the first time the Jaws soundtrack has been released on vinyl. And to a certain extent they’d be right.
However, previous incarnations, such as the 1975 Grammy Award-winning release was actually a re-recording. This is the score that was originally composed and recorded for the film.
This John Williams masterpiece is as packed with suspense as a boat that’s way too small for shark fishing. It’s score writing at its absolute best from the now legendary fear-inducing ‘Shark Attack’ to the climactic ‘Blown To Bits’.
If you’re a fan of soundtracks, then Jaws really should be in your collection. Even if you just get it out once a year when you have the house to yourself; put it on, turn it up and scare yourself half to death, whilst revelling in the genius of John Williams.
I think we’re gonna need a bigger vinyl cupboard
