I am posting this thread because the intense interest in THE AVENGERS has rekindled interest in Silvestri's superb score for CA; THE FIRST AVENGER.
the ALBUM:
many here have expressed diff;
iculty getting 'into' this score as presented on cd.
My carefully sequenced 40+ minute 'album' program* should help you better experience this exciting score:
6,2,4,5,8,9,10,13,14,16,18,22,23,25
[if you have the ITUNES only download and want to make a cd-r ,substitute it
for track 25]

the MARCH:
Many have complained about the absence of the end title march on the soundtrack cd. It has been erroneously claimed that this is the ONLY track that contains a complete statement of the CA theme. There are at least 2-3 cues which render a full statement of the theme.
I suspect that Silvestri intentionally left this off the cd because it does not STYLISTICALLY fit in with the rest of his score. Silvestri wrote a MODERN score for a retro character.
tHE END TITLE IS DELIBERATELY OLD-FASHIONED. In fact if you listen closely it is obvious that it is intended as a tribute/homage/parody to John Williams SUPERMAN/INDY style!
Check out the rising and falling scaler patterns played on the flutes/oboes- this is right out of the "March from Superman' "b"section. (as is the the descending 4 note bass line and thundering coda)
'nuff said

ps if y'all want a score with memorable themes go out and get WHITE FANG, dammitt!

I haven't heard the march since I only have the CD, but I'm curious about your 40-minute version. What does your track order look like?
see above

The end title version of Silvestri's theme is just about the most perfect piece of "psuedo-Williams" I've heard, next to Edward Shearmur's great SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW

The End Title March was not included on the album because it was recorded late in a pick-up sessiom, after the album had already been locked.

interesting playlist, why did you not include the "Howling Commando's Montage" which I think features and accompanies some of the signature moments?

It is mos def a 'novelty' tune specifically composed to match the retro end title graphics!
The rest of the score is not in that style unlike SKY CAPTAIN where the entire score is a Williams take-off

Here is my own personal album edit which runs at 46:45 including CAPTAIN AMERICA MARCH and I feel is a good balance high lights as well as allowing it not feel too simplistic in chronological order.
• 1. Captain America (Main Titles) (0:56)
• 4. Farewell to Bucky (2:50)
• 6. Training the Supersoldier (1:08)
• 7. Schmidt's Story (1:59)
• 8. VitaRays (4:25)
• 9. Captain America "We Did It" (1:59)
• 13. Unauthorized Night Flight (3:13)
• 14. Troop Liberation (5:06)
• 15. Factory Inferno (5:05)
• 16. Triumphant Return (2:16)
• 17. Howling Command's Montage (2:16)
• 20. Motorcycle Mayhem (3:05)
• 21. Invasion (5:09)
• 22. Fight on the Flight Deck (3:30)
• 23. This is My Choice (3:26)
• 24. Passage of Time (1:35)
• 25. Captain America (1:08)
• 27. Captain America March (2:37)
If order is of no importance, it would run as follows:
• 27. Captain America March (2:37)
• 7. Schmidt's Story (1:59)
• 4. Farewell to Bucky (2:50)
• 23. This is My Choice (3:26)
• 24. Passage of Time (1:35)
• 25. Captain America (1:08)
• 6. Training the Supersoldier (1:08)
• 20. Motorcycle Mayhem (3:05)
• 1. Captain America (Main Titles) (0:56)
• 8. VitaRays (4:25)
• 17. Howling Command's Montage (2:16)
• 9. Captain America "We Did It" (1:59)
• 13. Unauthorized Night Flight (3:13)
• 14. Troop Liberation (5:06)
• 21. Invasion (5:09)
• 15. Factory Inferno (5:05)
• 22. Fight on the Flight Deck (3:30)
• 16. Triumphant Return (2:16)
If you still wish to make both shorter, remove CAPTAIN AMERICA (1:08) and TRAINING THE SUPERSOLDIER (1:08) and FAREWELL TO BUCKY ( 2:50) but ONLY if you do have THE MARCH.

YOU NEED the 'film' version of the main theme - best heard in SUPERSOLDIER- even if you include the March imho
it had very different arrangement and is more enjoyable to my ears

I agree and thats why I included it in my program but for some people 40 minutes is better then 46 mins

Looks like the march is included in this vinyl release.

Even back when I was buying LPs I usually stayed away from picture discs. But I kind of want this.

Picture discs have allegedly gotten better, but I don't buy it (literally!).
