BSX sure didn't pull any punches with this one. STARCRASH is an outstanding score, one of my favorites by the maestro, and the sound quality of this release is superb. There are some great shots inside the booklet and on the back cover (one of which reminds me of a classic Eddie Murphy line: "Have a Coke and a smile and shut the fu@< up!"  ). As MikeJ noted, the illustrations are fantastic, especially the one behind the CD tray...bottoms up! 
Can you tell us what that 7 minute bonus suite made up of?
Thanks.
It's basically an extended concert arrangement of the main theme, but played at a slower tempo, which gives it a more lush, romantic feel. A beautiful way to the close out the album, and I'm really glad BSX decided to include in on this CD.
And to answer Dorian's question, yes, it's the same suite.

Thanks. I'll pick this up while there is still some left.
Regarding the suite, do you you know if it is from Barry's original recording sessions or from some other unknown source?

Mine shipped on Saturday and the USPS got it transcon and into my box on Monday morning.
Great album. I had always enjoyed the "suite" on the Black Hole unmentionable, and it's nice to hear more from the score.

Just got this out of the mailbox and spinning it now. Who says BSX isn't on top of things? I've never had a problem with them ever.

How does it sound compared to the old Silva release?

Can't say. Never had the old Silva release.

Man, I STILL haven't got mine. This stinks. i finally got an order I had been waiting on for a while from them... now I sit and wait for this one.
*sigh*
Ordered mine from Intrada over three weeks ago... still waiting!!!
In all fairness to Intrada, who remain the Gold Balls standard for customer friendly service and delivery in all of this, how can they deliver it to you until they receive it from BSX?
If I got mine from BSX today, Intrada probably did too.

I did NOT mean to infer it was Intrada's fault, just that I was still waiting. All I remember is that it was shipping from BSX starting on 11/24.
Today is December 2. Let's both count on two hands, shall we? Let's see- 8 days.... hmmm, could be some reason for delay.... hmmmm.

If nobody beats me to it, I'll post a side-by-side comparison when I get my copy.

What's your favourite of the various Star Crash covers?
Mine's the French one:
At least the art actually resembles what's in the movie and doesn't shamelessly knock off the Millennium Falcon!
But then again - I do love the cover BSX have used too!
Cheers
