Jan Hammer's Iconic Miami Vice: The Complete Collection Finally Available For Download

Miami Vice: The Complete Collection is finally available for digital download. The classic compilation, originally released in 2002 by One Way Records, has been out of print for five years and has become a highly sought after item among avid fans of Hammer and of the landmark television series. The CD, when available from third party sellers on eBay and Amazon, has sold for prices ranging from $250 for used to over $500 for "new" copies.

For a limited time, Miami Vice: The Complete Collection can be exclusively downloaded from the official Jan Hammer website for $19.98, with select individual tracks also available for download for ninety-nine cents each. Within the next few weeks it will also be available at Amazon and eMusic.

Miami Vice: The Complete Collection is more than a compilation of 1985's Miami Vice and 1986's Miami Vice II.. While Miami Vice: The Complete Collection does in fact include all seven of Jan's original compositions featured on the two soundtracks, it also includes assorted tracks from three other albums: Miami Vice lll (which was a 1988 Europe only release), Jan's Escape From Television and Snapshots 1.2 , as well as twenty-two compositions written for the show and that he recorded specifically for this album in 2002, plus a bonus track recorded in 2004.

Included with the full album download from Jan's website is a PDF of the twelve-page booklet written for the original two-CD release.
