As promised, here be the long-awaited recording of the "Hoist The Colours" end credits theme. (It was certainly long-awaited for me, in any case. ^_^) Twelve minutes and thirty seconds long, I bookended it with the CD version of "Drink Up Me Hearties" - and at the same time, I also lifted an excerpt of the ending theme of Pirates 1, placing it just before Drink Up; it's not exactly the same, but a very similar excerpt is used during the final sequences in Pirates 3 as heard in film. It just felt more complete musically to have it in there. And yes, I kept the epilogue coda in as well:

As for the DVD, I only checked out the music-making featurette so far. I didn't know it was Verbinski himself who played the guitar portion in "Parlay." Neat.
