Demetrius and the Gladiators.
Well, let me tell you how happy it would make me if it was Demetrius. VERY happy indeed!
Fine score, but I haven't played my FSM one for a long time. Aside from the sound improvements, what are the other changes you hinted at?
Many cues on the previous release were in very bad shape and not included in the score presentation but as bonus tracks. Everything is now included in the score presentation, we still have a few bonus tracks, and there's more music - in fact, it's almost complete now - there are three missing cues that could not be saved, but Mike used the stereo film tracks and salvaged what he could from them so we have some of it. It's kind of a major upgrade and a great score, which makes some wonderful use of the Newman themes from The Robe.

Well, that certainly sounds like a worthy upgrade. When will we be able to order?
Monday morning.

Just knew that after the sonic improvements in The Egyptian, The Robe and especially David and Bathseba that 'someone' would tackle Demetrius. Can't wait!

I'll buy a new and improved DEMETRIUS, one of my early favorite scores!
Hmmmmm....
Do you think you could do the same with PRINCE OF FOXES? As I recall, there are still a few moments that could use restoration, such as that sequence with the singer in the distance...

The Demetrius elements were in bad shape and I remember being frustrated by them when we did the FSM disc. Glad to hear a better version is coming.

I too just finished listening to THE BUCCANEER. Great job. The sound is wonderful. And, it's ESPECIALLY wonderful to NOT have those bagpipes within the score presentation. A really wonderful listening experience.
I have a quick question... exactly what is the Finale on track 21. It's not the one heard in the film. Do you know why that one bar is missing just before the big coda? It's not missing in the film. I also noticed the last chord is not held as long as the LP version on track 22. Is it just some alernate version of the Finale? Just curious if you've got any info on that. Inquiring minds want to know.
Looking foward to DEMETRIUS.
Quick answer from Chris Malone:
The film version was of the "Finale" was 13CCA take 1. The album version combined 13CC takes 9 and 6. The album version has a few extra bars right near the end, the final note (after the cymbal crash) is held longer, and the tempo is a bit faster.
