We know that it's not a Varese label release, but it is available for sale on the Varese website with no product note about the sound quality. That's what some of us are "upset" about.

That description came from the higher ups that we were not allowed to change. I did what I could with the audio so that a sample or two does have a sound effect in, so at least anyone who listens will know there is some sound effects. Best I could do on my end to help. I just saw it's #307 on Amazon out of hundreds of thousands of music titles, not bad. This title has a much wider audience than us film score folks, so this will sell and will sell great. It's unavailable on Amazon.com as they'v sold out of all the pre-orders. We won't even have a copy or two at the office. Pretty incredible. I'm happy it's out, in a perfect world there would be no effect sounds, but sadly the music and sound effects are married together.

Peter, I think most of us understand that A) the music tapes are gone, so this is the only way this music can be presented, and B) it is certainly not your fault that the album art doesn't warn customers of this issue.
But about point B, it is those higher-ups you mention that people are annoyed with, and I don't think that's unreasonable.
It reminds me of one of my favorite Monty Python sketches, where John Cleese is a police inspector following up on complaints that Terry Jones’ confectionery shop is selling a chocolate called “Crunchy Frog” which actually contains an entire frog in it. Jones is extremely proud of his product, explaining that he can’t remove the bones because that’s what makes it crunchy, and when Cleese suggests that people are apt to think it’s some sort of “mock frog,” Jones insists they use only natural ingredients, “lightly killed." Finally, Cleese tells him “I must warn you that in future you should delete the words 'crunchy frog' and replace them with the legend 'crunchy raw unboned real dead frog' if you want to avoid prosecution!” To which Jones objects: "Think about our sales!"

The quaint old phrase "truth in advertising," which might sound like an oxymoron, comes to mind. Maybe omitting the facts isn't lying but it's very manipulative.
"I'm pleased and happy to repeat the news that we have caught and killed a large predator that supposedly injured some bathers. As you see, it's a beautiful day. The beaches are open, and people are having a wonderful time. 'Amity,' as you know, means 'friendship.'"

THIS is the whole reason why the "deception by omission" is such bullshit. WE know better than to trust a release like this. THEY don't. The grandmas and the casual fans. Wait until the reviews come in on Amazon.

Even multi-disc releases are cheap. Such as Disney's mostly lovely multi-disc Legacy Collection releases. I recently bought the rather definitive 2-disc albums of Sleeping Beauty, Lady and the Tramp, and Cinderella for less than $13 each.
I'm sorry, but the Legacy edition of Sleeping Beauty is far from definitive (don't about Cinderella or Lady though). All they did with Sleeping Beauty was slap some new art on the old expanded CD and a second disc with three demos, 1/6 of the original soundtrack album, and some tracks from a completely different album while leaving off a decent amount of unreleased score material.
