For his score, John Williams didn’t write in the symphonic style with which he soon became closely associated. Instead, he composed for a small ensemble including guitars, electric bass, harmonicas, and mandolin. Kritzerland (http://www.kritzerland.com/mo_breaks.htm) describes Williams’ evocative score as follows:
"Williams had already done big, brash, outdoorsy Americana before with The Reivers and The Cowboys. But The Missouri Breaks wasn’t big and brash, and so required a different kind of score – smaller in scale, but one that would capture the characters and the drama as well as the period and the feel of the film. And, of course, Williams delivered a perfect score (albeit atypical for him during this period), mostly composed for guitars, harmonica, percussion, and a handful of other instruments. Williams never wants for coming up with an instantly memorable and beautiful theme and The Missouri Breaks has a beauty in its love theme – never overused, always right. His main title music sets the mood with tense bass notes, and off-kilter harmonica and guitar – it’s wonderfully evocative and haunting. There are up-tempo infectious cues and cues for Brando that are really off-kilter. It’s Williams doing what he did (and still does) better than anyone, and it’s a score that’s completely unique to him."
When The Missouri Breaks was first issued on CD in 1999 by Rykodisc, the original United Artists Records soundtrack album was the basis of the release, with three bonus tracks from the actual film added ("Main Title", "Train Robbery", "Jane and Logan"). This edition was reissued by Varese Sarabande in 2004. Kritzerland’s new and definitive Missouri Breaks has been derived from the original film scoring session masters, and includes a handful of never-before-heard cues that went unused in the film. In addition, the complete soundtrack album as re-recorded by Williams is also included, freshly remastered from the original master tapes.

Beautiful upload.
Thank you very much, my friend.
To lessen the probabilities of bots capturing the password and make the link last longer, I try not to use the format "Password: whatever" (though it might be a good idea fooling them with a dummy). Instead there’s that awkward circumlocution, now reworded to make it more clear.
For anyone having problems with mega: alternative upload of the FLAC archive is in (slow) progress.
Added FLAC mirror.
You’re welcome, folks.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!!!

The links are still active (Mega and Ulozto), so this thread is useless.
Peter makes a great point. Please go to kooke’s thread.
Then again, there is a search feature, such as it is, but who actually USES that….
I do sometimes, though, as we all know, a search in google usually works better: score whatever site:forums.ffshrine.org . Now, I would’t give a damn about that either if my interest was just "putting things and things and things" there to make bigger numbers as long as there was no consequences. Besides, there are moderators/admins who sometimes go cleaning afterwards!
Thanks to them for uncluttering the list of threads. Much better this way, because the ignore list doesn’t have any effect there.
Thank you kooke for sharing in flac
Kooke’s links in his original post are still very active.

Mega works like sh.. to me.
