The idea of adding Father & Son is a good one, but the original album is still the definitive version for me, though I've recently enjoyed the Intrada film tracks and also the Varese re-recording. I have to have the original for Tourists on the Menu alone, perfect in its fuller version, and the first time I noticed a more complete musical presentation on a soundtrack. And the sequencing of the original album is for me ideal.

Now that the film score actually sounds like something, I like both. When the Intrada 2CD came out, I alternated between the score and the LP program for over a month.

The soundtrack LP is a classic, and I actually DO own the LP (and the LP version released on CD by Intrada). I prefer by far to listen to the film version though, altogether a more interesting listen containing some of my all time favorite Williams' cues (like "Into The Estuary", for example). The original LP was a well done souvenir album, but even at the time when it was the only thing available, I felt it was too smoothened out, too "mainstream" in that it dropped a lot of the aggressive, Stravinsky-like writing, favoring the adventure type seafaring music. So while it's nice to have both, no question that I far prefer the blood and guts film score over the nicened up soundtrack cut.
