Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the film score to the 1984 Steven Spielberg film, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. The music was composed and conducted by John Williams, and first released on CD, LP, and cassette in 1984 and reissued on CD in 2008.

Numerous cues from the film were missing from the soundtrack's initial LP issue due to the inherent length limitations of a single LP (approximately forty minutes). After the release of an extended Raiders of the Lost Ark soundtrack album in 1995, there was some hope of a more complete release of the Temple of Doom score. This was eventually realized in November 2008 by the Concord Music Group as part of a five-CD boxed set that also included the soundtracks for Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

## The Indiana Jones Trilogy[edit]

Silva released a new version of Williams' Indiana Jones music entitled "The Indiana Jones Trilogy"[1] on January 21, 2003. It features various cues from the entire trilogy, with five from The Temple of Doom. However, although they use the original manuscripts, this is a re-recording performed by the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. Helen Hobson provides both the Cantonese and English lyrics for "Anything Goes" in these recordings.
