But I knew that we'd eventually get a rerelease, and since I was unemployed at the time and some extra cash didn't hurt, I decided to sell it off while it was still worth a lot of money.

Incanus 5,816 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Great news! I am a bit on the fence with this one as I have the Varese version. If I conjure up extra cash some way or the other then I might pick this up. But I am glad those who missed this score back in 2002 have a chance to get it now.

Jay 39,589 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 MV on this release: This is certainly worth the rebuy. The sound on disc 2 is beyond amazing. After listening to what Tim andd Didier at Sony did, Mike Matessino sent them an email stating he never thought the score could sound so amazing.

The Dark Trilogy 39 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I pass. The original album is enough. Better listening experience and the best tracks are there. I do not need more. And of course, performed by the LSO. The film recording is performed by an Hollywood orchestra. So the original OST is far superior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent $90 on The Fury, sold it for the same amount. Most I ever spent on a movie was $80 for Criterion's OOP release of The Third Man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 155 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Most I spent was the Fury for $76 and the Blue Box for $80. I managed to get Jaws 2 for $40 and Temple of Doom for $25, deals I was pretty pleased about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muad'Dib 1,871 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Fantastic news! This is probably one of my top 5 Williams scores, so I'll be sure to get this when it's out. And I adore the film too, I find it hilarious! I know it's maybe unintentional, but it's so bad it's good. Just the way I like my DePalma movies.For those of you who don't know this great score, here's all you need to know about it:http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=UE8QQ7IBLds#t=123s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Trilogy 39 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 ckappes, the point of this new release is that the original OST has been completely remastered and will sound better than ever beforeI'm not sure, Jason. I do not like the way some labels remaster their albums. The mainstream prefer an detailed and shrill sound. In the case of La La Land, I experienced some negative issues, aurally.I give you an example with Dragonslayer. The Sounthern Cross CD (I know it's a bootleg, but a very good example to show) sounds warm and soft; overall the instrumentation, the recording and so on. The La Land Land sounds dry and shrill. That seems a trend these days, in terms of music. Otherwise, Hook from La La Land sounds fine, did they remaster it, too?Another example is Raiders of the Lost Ark from Concord vs. Polydor. It seems to have the same problem...Also, I do not want to spend money with at least one CD, which I will not listen to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 39,589 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 It's not like LLL has an in-house remastering team; Each different CD is mastered by the production team assigned to that particular release, all of whom are people who work for all the different labels.Anyway, I think you should listen to the samples on LLL's website next Tuesday afternoon before making your final decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 9,105 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Good news for the people who don't have this yet, but this reissue business is getting costly.Yes, but in this case, I don't care. I have the previous two releases, and don't remember huge sound improvements on the 2CD set. If the LSO recording sounds only half as good as these quotes promise, I'd gladly pay $100 for this release.Of all best Williams scores, this is the most underappreciated. And of all underappreciated Williams scores, it's the best. There probably are a few of his scores that can claim to be as good as The Fury, but as far as I'm concerned, probably none that can claim to be better.

Uni 306 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 This one's an example of a score I didn't pay much attention to at first, because I found the OST release merely average. That was the only experience I had with it for years. The completist in me went ahead and picked up the Deluxe Edition . . . and I found an entirely new appreciation for the score. That's happened to me a few times, where the selections on the OSTs just haven't connected the way other pieces in a score do.Which is why I'm glad we're in the era of expanded/complete scores. And why I won't have any qualms about picking up this version as well. - Uni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 9,105 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Odd. I have nearly zero interest in the actual score recording, but the LSO album recording is utterly fantastic. crocodile and Joni Wiljami 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 9,105 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I'm talking about the original album release, featuring the LSO recording (disc two on the 2CD set). The actual score (disc 1, unavailable before the 2CD set) has some additional material, but the stuff that's in both versions works better in the album arrangement for me, plus the orchestral performance on the original film tracks is rather on the weak side.
