"This album could have been good but it wasn't.There are better recordings of most of these songs out there. "Wiseguy" was a real dissapointment. I had a recording of that theme that included some sweet slow Italian music intertwined with the throbbing agressive main theme.This version didn't have it. It stunk Other problems... The recordings sound like some of them were done on a 200 dollar casio synthesizer. What Post needs to do is come out with a box set complete with the FULL VERSIONS of all the original theme recordings. Wait for that to happen, don't buy this album."
Save yourself!

"The quality of recording is one of the draw backs of this cd. Deep in your soul your expecting to hear the familier chords of those classic 70's and 80's t.v. shows you know so well. I was disapointed in the new arraingments. I would rather see Mike Post reproduce this cd himself."
This CD is awful

"Don't be fooled into thinking these are the original recordings. They are not. The recordings sound like they were recorded in someone's garage with a second rate band."
Not the original recordings!

"I've got to agree with the above reviewer - this is a pretty poor CD - not the original recordings! My wife and I have 9 month old triplets, and they love the theme from Law and Order - they stop what they're doing and watch the screen whenever the theme song is on - and we hoped to get the CD to use in the car on long trips, but they don't pay any attention to this copy. There's none of the driving bass so prevalent in Mike Post's music."
Save your money

"I was quite disappointed when I played the cd. I was hoping for the original soundtracks, but its not the same. Most of the songs sound like they were played on a Casio keyboard set on harpsichord. If Mike Post was actually involved in the making of this album, I would be surprised. Mike has created the BEST themesongs on tv to date, so I was excited to see this album released. The deep bass notes are nonexistant in any track, and the theme from Hardcastle & McCormack is missing the vocals. The cd says the tracks are "Original Sound Recordings" by Michael Jones Productions, but they sure don't sound original. Not worth the cd it's recorded on."
