The Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade soundtrack was released by Wea in 1989. The music was composed and conducted by John Williams, and performed by the uncredited Hollywood Studio Symphony Orchestra.[citation needed]

The official album only contains key moments from the film's score. However, three bootleg CD editions were released: one in 1997 with the music that wasn't present in the 1989 album, one expanded edition released in 2000, and another expanded edition released in 2006 with the same tracks from the 2000 edition, also including music from the The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles episode "Transylvania, January 1918".

[edit] Note on Keeping Up With The Joneses

Track 8, "Keeping up With The Joneses" does not appear in the film. But, two segments from this score do appear in the movie. First, after the book-burning scene, at the airport, we see Henry Jones reading a newspaper that is concealing his face. The music that is playing at the time is the Keeping up With The Jones' theme, which is played rather softly o­n the woodwinds. Later, at the beach scene, we see the Jones' running down to the beach. We hear a very short sequence that occurs o­n the track right before the music in the airport does.

[edit] The Indiana Jones Trilogy

Silva released a soundtrack on January 21, 2003 titled "The Indiana Jones Trilogy".[1] It features various cues from the entire trilogy, with 4 from Last Crusade. However, on this release the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra play the score.
