Despite its shortcomings, it's a really great score
★★★★☆
The review made before this one points out that there are lots of mistakes in this score. I'm not disputing that fact; however, as band scores from the early to mid 90s were not as accurate as they are today, it's somewhat forgivable. The songs in this band score are exactly as they appeared in their respective albums. In fact, the majority of the songs aren't exactly centered on the page because the original scores were a lot bigger than the format used today.
Anyway, a lot of the songs don't have changes notated to them for second playthroughs of verses and choruses. TAKUYA's guitar parts are very chaotic, though, and it would take too much space to notate all the changes. The best way to go about this is as an exercise in ear transcribing. I don't think that no one but TAKUYA will be able to play all the songs EXACTLY as they sound in the album, and even then, I doubt he perfectly recreated every single note when he played live. For the purposes of learning your favorite JUDY AND MARY songs, this band score does its job perfectly.
I'd rate this score a perfect 5 if the formatting was consistent and songs were updated and corrected for this release, but as it is, The Great Escape band score is a great tool to help you learn JAM's best songs.
