As I suspected, no Suspicion cue (har har). Not complaining as I imagine it wasnt available, and there's certainly more music here than meets the eye or ear. Just following up to my earlier post about the cue.

Well, what a pity ... I was counting on that part, LC .... ...
Well, unfortunately I do not have the luck of most of you here, I'm only going to be able to hear this great Box in 20-50 days (probably in 2018!). I live in one of the worst countries on planet Earth ... Brasil ... the Brasil customs hold the goods for several weeks (and sometimes they steal the goods ... we call it 'Brasil Fashion' ... 'Jeitinho Brasileiro') ... it's a very complicated situation here.
You'd get it on the 25th except Mrs. Claus doesnt trust Santa to stay away from those bikini-filled beaches.
If Mr. Claus comes to Brasil, he will be robbed completely, left naked, without the bag (of toys), and his reindeer will be roasted by the population ... the good old man will never come here ...
I received my copy on Saturday, and I will be busy listening to the 4 disks for quite a while. There is a wide variety of titles here, with something for everyone. Many thanks to the Intrada team for making these many previously unissued tracks available in high quality sound-I have yet to be disappointed. And the price is a real bargain at under $40 for 4 jam-packed CDs.Everyone please buy it now to reward Doug Fake for his dedication to the music.
Yes I agree the price is fantastic. Hoping mine arrives today. I've been going back through my existing Waxman scores in anticipation. What are some people's favorite Waxman scores?
Mine just arrived. In case it helps anyone else, I just cleaned up the track list for typing into my ripping software. This is before I do my further tweaking of track names to shorten some of the longer ones. Listening to Disc 4 while I prepare to rip the rest of them. The sound is astounding.
EDIT: I submitted my edited version of the tracklist to freedb. That includes movie titles in parenthesis after Main Title and Finale on each track name. I do that so that I can tell from the track list which score I am listening to and don't have to refer to the box or notes to get that information. I also edit down any track name that seems pointlessly long to avoid anything longer than 40 characters or so. This also means removing any slashes in the titles so that FreeDB will accept whatever I submit. Usually this means removing all but one cue name from the cross-fade cues. I'd be happy to e-mail anyone that full list or post it here if people want.
Having the track list in this format allows you to use the feature in some tagging/ripping software that copies the full track list into the right spots directly from the clip board. It saves you a LOT of typing. In EAC you simply click Database - Get CD Information from - Clipboard

Just played DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE. Outstanding sound quality to a great Waxman score. Will play CAPTAINS COURAGEOUS next. The sound engineers did a super job! How they did it I don't know.
At only $39.99 for a 4 CD set this is a wonderful buy. Beautiful art work with colorful movie posters and a big 40 booklet too! So much to read while listening to this Golden Age classic music.
I hope all fans of great film music will buy this box set so Intrada will be able to issue more Golden Age film scores in the future.
Listening to (and thoroughly enjoying) Huckleberry Finn. I urge anyone who loves classic film music and who hasn't yet ordered this outstanding set, to make sure they do so in time to have this sitting by their festive tree on Christmas morning. An ideal gift to oneself! It even includes A Christmas Carol to make it even more of a holiday pleasure.
Now listening to "Count Your Blessings". Superb! The performers seem to be enjoying every inventive moment of it. And exceptional sound for this vintage.
What an astonishing Christmas Gift from Intrada! Major Kudos! Such great classic Waxman. And the sound is amazing considering the age of most of the recordings. The stereo Count Your Blessings is a major bonus. Very Well Done!!! Don't miss this Golden Age Fans or newbies!
Just played CAPTAINS COURAGEOUS, what a colorful and exciting score. They don't write music like this anymore. Great sound quality too. I'm playing one Waxman score a day. Don't miss this wonderful Waxman Box set!
Too important and historic to be missed. I was thinking of passing and not to buy this release, as I never had true interest in Waxman, except SPIRIT, NUN'S and some other. But there is a great labor of love on this box and Intrada deserves respect and support. I have already ordered this and remain in the hope of a similar operation for Friedhofer. A special thank to Manderley for his touching memories that adds value to the Intrada release. Þ
