I'm not talking about a "stems source", these are mixed tapes for the movie made to be mixed with voices and sfx.
I'm talking about the original recording sessions of YSH, the original STEREO master tape for the music market; this master EXISTS, is perfect for listening, great audio quality.
For every score there are 2 master archives: one for the record, another one for the mixing with dialogue and sfx in the movie (stems).
We are talking about the firs one, the one made to be printed on vinyl / cd / music tapes / etc.
What the matter whit the film stems?... Are You kidding me?
If You want to make an audio cd You could:
1 - Use original 1/4 inch. stereo master tapes: VERY GOOD; every label with a working brain does use this source to make an album;
2 - Use original 2 inch. multitrack master tapes: VERY BAD if the STEREO MASTER does still exist, because a new mix means new sound balance, with different volumes and mastering!
Conan the Barbarian and The Black Cauldron, for example, sound COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from the original master (and they also sound WORSE: completely wrong volume balances, they are quite a mess, and I have payed for that mess...). THAT's the problem!
Do You have the original stereo tapes? Nice, LET USE THEM!!!

If you read the post over at Intrada the contents of this CD were what would have been on Vol 4 of the Polydor series. I'll be buying this soon.
My reading of it is that the Valley of the Kings Overture is the only piece that was actually prepared for a projected 4th volume of the Polydor series.
Anyway, despite it's short length, I'll be getting it too.
Basil, I believe Gary was referring to this quote, which suggests that both VALLEY and SAHARA were prepared for Polydor 4 "way back when":
I learned about the Chandos download a few weeks ago. The music world can certainly use a couple of versions. But we had put our program together over two years ago, and we really locked everything down when Dan Robbins pulled the manuscripts together for the Valley Of The Kings piece that was arranged for the fourth Polydor record that never happened. The suite from Sahara was also prepared way back when. So we decided to record those and assemble some additional rare material like Jacare and a longer suite from Strange Love Of Martha Ivers to balance things out. Then we wanted to anchor the album with a generous look at something really rare, which turned out to be the Man In Half Moon Street, and still keep the album running around 40-45 minutes or so, which is what the three previous Polydor albums did. We really wanted to make this whole disc feel like a continuation of that wonderful series.
