With the rights to the Indiana Jones series now part of The Walt Disney Company's portfolio, the Mouse House has planned several reissues of the five-film series' iconic scores on CD and vinyl.

Harrison Ford took his last ride as the cinematic archaeologist last summer, in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, the fourth and final sequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark. Regardless of audiences' opinion on those sequels, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg's collaboration is one of each filmmaker's most enduring. (The Star Wars mogul co-created the character and earned story credit on the first four films, while the JAWS director helmed the four films between 1981 and 2008; both men were executive producers on the final film.) A good deal of that, of course, is thanks to longtime collaborator John Williams, who devised an instantly hummable march for the character and composed the scores to every film in the series. For his work, four of the films earned Oscar nominations for Best Original Score, including Dial of Destiny - the composer's 54th career nomination, extending his run as the most Oscar-nominated living person (and second only to Walt Disney himself).

This spring, Spielberg and Lucas' second and third films in the series, 1984's Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and 1989's Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, celebrate their 40th and 35th anniversaries, respectively. To celebrate, Walt Disney Records (who acquired the Lucasfilm-owned series' soundtrack rights from Concord several years ago) will release all four of Williams' original scores - 1981's Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple, Crusade and 2008's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - for the first time on 180-gram double vinyl, mirroring three expanded presentations of the scores released in 2008 and overseen by producer/Spielberg documentarian Laurent Bouzereau. (The presentation of Crystal Skull will mirror the original album on CD.) While none of the score presentations are complete, and could frankly use the kind of sonic and repertoire upgrade that a producer like longtime Williams restorer Mike Matessino would give the scores, this is a chance for vinyl fans to have Williams' scores to the original Jones series in expanded form (Concord previously released a double LP of Raiders in 2017, before their rights expired).

CD fans and completists have a product of their own to covet from Disney as well. Indiana Jones: The Complete CD Collection is a 5CD box that includes the expanded Concord presentations of Williams' scores to Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom and The Last Crusade, plus the original soundtrack albums to Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Dial of Destiny - all in jewel cases (Concord's releases were in digipaks) with a slipcase. Now - a few things are worth noting here. First, Concord's 2008 box included the first four CDs in this set plus a bonus disc of additional cues from the first three films; none of that material is replicated here. Second, the $149.99 price tag is a bit much for standard discs and packaging. Third, the oddest previous selling point to the set - the fact that it was, for a time, the cheapest way to pick up a new copy of the Dial of Destiny album - has since been nullified. (Long story short: Disney only ever made the disc available through their Disney Music Emporium, and never specified that the CD was a "limited edition" until stock had allegedly sold through and the product listing disappeared. It reappeared at random several times through the summer and fall of last year with no advance notice, and now appears to be back permanently, although unsearchable from the store itself.)

All in all, though, if you're in the market for the music to the man with the hat, you've got plenty of options. The four vinyl scores are available below from The Sound of Vinyl (Raiders has a release date of June 28, while the others are available now), and the CD box is available now from Disney Music Emporium.
