Great find! The movie soundtrack is so much better than the musical/broadway soundtrack. I've been looking for this for years, and finally found it. The sound quality is pretty good for what it is- does not sound super hi-fi but does not sound bootleg as other reviews suggested. .
yuck, Yuck, YUCK -- save your money
I pulled out the cd and looked to see if it was a cd-r or rw someone had pirated from an old worn out 8 track or using a $1. Mono, thin, narrow band, with poor s/n level. 98 microphone from Radio Shack.
Mono recording of poor quality, seems pirated.
I have a couple of copies of the original vinyl recording. I am so sorry about this CD! I love the soundtrack, I love Zorba the Greek and Theodorakis music, but this CD is completely mono. On the original the dialogue is mono and the music is stereo. Despite the cracks and pops on the original vinyl, the overall sound quality is better on my old records and the stereo imaging is wonderful vs. the mono one dimensional quality of this sad excuse for a CD. Amazon should check with the copyright holders, I strongly suspect this is a pirated copy and a poor quality one at that! I would love to buy a true stereo recording. Meanwhile please make the mono recording nature of the CD obvious to buyers.
Zorba the Greek
Definitely a keeper. This is it! The original soundtrack from THE BEST MOVIE EVER! It is exactly the same as the original, with dialogues of Anthony Quinn (ZORBA) and Alan Bates. I have looked for this item on CD for a long time. When the theme song plays I HAVE to get up and do the circle dance that I grew up doing with my Greek friends in Detroit.
Would recommend this CD to anyone who is a fan of Zorba the Greek. I think Zorba was Anthony Quinn's finest role.

Waste of money !!!!!!!!!
I've also heard other Theodorakis Cd's and it's the same thing. I can't believe what I'm hearing!!!
This is the worst piece of music I've ever heard.
Waste of my money.
I think I'll stick with my good old Ennio Moricone's Cd's.
I prefer real music.
