This is a top notch release, no question about it. The sound quality on the samples is absolutely pristine! Well done Intrada! Having said that, I haven't actually listened to the original OST in well over a year, having switched over to the Tadlow re-recording for listening to the score. I'm struck in listening to the clips how tinny and thin the original orchestra sounds, especially when compared to the rich sound of the orchestra on the Tadlow re-recording. I'm on the fence as to whether to pick this up as I think I much prefer the re-recording (other than the Wheel of Pain track which never quite sounded "right"). Don't get me wrong, others have been clamouring for this release and it looks absolutely great and certainly important from an archival standpoint, I'm just not sure it's for me. Happy for all of you that have been waiting months for this though. Chris. Oddly enough, I agree! I love the Tadlow re-recording of this score, but I bought this as well because I always like to have the original. I'll probably end up going back to the Tadlow recording for a better listening experience, but I wanted both. We need more Basil. Bring on the expanded Starship Troopers next!

I'll probably still buy it and give it a listen, but judging off these clips, I really think the Tadlow is stronger than some people gave it credit for.

Milestone release. Conan and Star Trek:TMP in one year... also Die Harder and Die Hard with a Vengeance... Hook... The Blade Runner re-recording... some real cornerstones on my list.
