Guns n' Roses - Use Your Illusion I (1991)
I've had this album since 1991 (granted on smaller formats like CDs) and never until yesterday thought of looking up where the cover art is from:
Raphael's The School of Athens

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Unlimited Love (2022)
This is OK, I guess. At least the production is good.

It’s a digital only release, so if I would say streaming it or buying the download would do the trick.

Elmer Bernstein - The Ten Commandments: 60th Anniversary Soundtrack Collection (Intrada 2016)
Elmer Bernstein's soundtrack to Cecil B. DeMille's "The Ten Commandments" has earned its reputation as one of the best film compositions ever written. In 2016, Intrada Records gave it the super deluxe treatment you see here - 6 discs with a lavish color booklet packaged in a box strong enough to survive another trek across the Red Sea.
The 6 discs consist of:
CD 1-3 - The complete original soundtrack (every single cue, including all of the myriad fanfares, processions, court dances and eight authentic shofars), plus Bernstein's personal demos
CD 4 - The 1957 monaural "soundtrack" (actually re-recordings) released on Dot
CD 5 - The 1960 stereo "soundtrack" re-recordings, also released on Dot
CD 6 - the 1966 United Artists album in which Bernstein weaves the memorable themes into an integrated suite designed to be enjoyed as a standalone listening experience. I wasn't expecting more than a rehash here but wound up highly impressed with how effectively the composer had reimagined his earlier work.
I can't say enough good things about this epic package of Biblical proportions. It's not on Spotify, so unfortunately you can't actually emulate Moses by downloading it from the cloud onto your tablets.
It's also out of print and can be pricey. But for anyone interested in seeing how a major soundtrack was put together during the Golden Age of Hollywood, it is essential.
on the Sam-O-Meter. “So let it be written… so let it be done!”
