For a Few Dollars More

Soundtrack to the immensely popular 1965 Sergio Leone western movie starring Clint Eastwood. 12 brilliantly orchestrated pieces which evoke the lonesomeness, tension & violence present in the film. Album Details

Careful, this in not the (full) Disc described

As this disc was produced in 2004 the reviews prior to that date do not match what is on offer here. The reviewer from 2004 gives the best analysis of the disc. It's only 16 -17 mins long and has none of the "Fistful of Dollars" tracks listed. The disc compiled in 2004 is just the soundtrack from the original film. It matches to track 6 then has POKER D'ASSI and CARILLON as tracks 7 & 8.
That said, it is ENNIO MORRICONE'S original work for the film. If you're new to the genre I suggest other compilations. At 16 mins this is more for the real fan. April 28, 2008

Yes, but is that all?

First the good news. This is the real deal -- the great music I first heard as I sat waiting in a little theatre lobby for the next showing of FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE in 1966. It is NOT one of the imitations of the film soundtrack by somebody-or-other and his orchestra which appeared on the market after the movie became a hit.

Now the bad news. There's less than 17 minutes of music on the CD, and actually just 13 if we exclude the two tracks of drum rolls and trumpet blasts Morricone wrote merely to add drama to something happening on the screen. I could hardly believe the lovely, elegaic "Goodbye, Colonel" is only 1:42 long. August 21, 2004

Great movies! Great Soundtracks!

Both movies, "A Fistful of Dollars" and "For a Few Dollars More" are represented on this CD. There isn't a movie "A Handful of Dollars" much less one with a soundtrack on this compilation. The discrepancy is that the music is in the wrong order. The music from "Few" comes before the music from "Fistful" which is not what you would expect given the title of the CD and the release dates of the movies. What you would expect is great, dramatic music and you get that here. Get the CD. And get the movies as well as the third part of the trilogy, "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly." You won't regret the purchase. January 26, 2001

Brilliant Morricone Masterpiece

Many people think that the soundtrack to The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is Morricone's definative work, as they should. It is a classic and so tends to overshadow the rest of his scores. However, the soundtrack to For a Few Dollars More is by no means a throw together piece, as everybody who has watched the movie knows. It fluctuates and flows, moves and shakes, keeps the listener enthralled to the very edges of their being. Ever driven to the sound of Manko riding his horse? Ever shot apples off a tree with a classic six shooter? Ever uttered the phrase "No old man, thought I was having trouble with my counting, but it's alright now" after you've just piled all of the men you've just killed into the back of a wagon? If you have, you probably should have your own soundtrack, but if you haven't, buy this cd right now. January 6, 2000

IT DOES HAVE "FOR A HANDFUL OF DOLLARS", AS WELL

I just wanted to add to the review above (or below for that matter) that the CD does contain the music of "handful", evn though it is 28 mins.Just look at the titles; track 7 is "per un..." meaning "for a handful of dollars".Tracks 7 to 12 are from that movie.You may even want to check out "handful" here in Amazon...its tracks have the same names ...if only they had added "square dance" in this compilation of the movies...there sure was room for it!
