Film Music 1966-1987

Ennio Morricone — Film Music 1966-1987 is a two-disc compilation issued by Virgin Records (catalogue CDVD2516), released 22 October 1987. The set collects 33 selected film themes spanning 1966–1987 and is commonly catalogued with barcode/EAN 77778678229. Total running time is listed at about 121 minutes.

The compilation features many of Morricone's best-known cues, including "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", "Gabriel's Oboe", "Once Upon a Time in America (Cockey's Theme)" and "Deborah's Theme"; the tracklist also credits a remix version of "The Mission".

Pros:

• Broad, two-disc overview of Morricone's film work across more than two decades (33 tracks).
• Includes multiple signature themes from major films, making it a convenient compilation for listeners seeking highlights.
• Issued by Virgin Records (CDVD2516) and widely catalogued with EAN 77778678229, facilitating identification across formats and pressings.

Cons:

• Curated compilation rather than complete original soundtrack albums—selected excerpts rather than full score editions.
• At least one track is presented as a remix ("The Mission (Remix)"), so not all selections are the original album or film mixes.
