Great release, but also had the same problem that some of you on here have had with the tight fitting CD's. Definitely be careful when taking out the CD's for the first time, they are extremely snug in the CD slots in the jewel case. They work much better after removing them the first time.

Thanks for the heads-up, chiplandry!

I'm really looking forward to getting this, along with Die Another Day and Apocalypse Now... smile

Chalk me up as another who had a horrible time getting Disc One free, and cracked the case doing so.

Great release, though, and that's the important thing.

Oh nice, "Across The Fields" is where the original album's "Nocturnal Pursuit" comes from. I was getting worried as disc 2 progressed without hearing it.

Nocturnal Pursuit is just Across The Fields segued to Stars and Trucks, which then segues back to a bit of Across The Fields again.

Just want to note that I've finally figured out how to get these CDs out without any stress or breakage.

I just have to press my thumb very firmly on the center (VERY firmly), which folds the tines in a bit and the disc pops out easily. It gives me quite the donut imprint on my thumb for a moment, but it works better than any other way I've tired. Worked fine for both CE3K and Die Another Day.

Has anyone made a film order playlist from this set yet? It looks like there's music on disc two which should be included within the disc one playlist.

Waiting patiently for Intrada to start shipping their stock of this score, hope they get them in soon!

Just took delivery here in the UK. Took only a few days. That was quick. Now it's time for a new CD jewel case because these were darned tough, and I mean tough, to get off their spindles. I haven't even placed them back on properly because I don't want to have to go through that again for fear of breaking them.

I got the CDs out okay (I always move LLL 2-discers into better quality 2CD jewel cases) but was a little disappointed to find the booklet in such poor condition (worse than the previous digipak that is still mint after, what, 11 years?).

Great score though (we knew that) and great sound.

Why this particular release? Any ideas?

Really great release, amazing sound quality, and great booklet presentation.

I don't really like the new album presentation - I read about his desire to do that for E.T. and I'm really glad he didn't. To me, I enjoy film soundtracks telling the story, which means chronological is my preferred arrangement because it gives the music context. If something is dramatically chopped up (like Aliens) then maybe that's a better candidate for a new album representation.

I appreciate the thought and effort though so that is at least cool.

But anyway, we have all the music now so that's really spectacular!

I went through and made my own version of the score, and was surprised that I ended up using the majority of the Williams-created cues from the first disc, with minor non-chronological tweaks here and there. Great stuff, glad they gave us the tools to be our own boss.

Speaking of, has anyone gone over this release and assembled their own track list to create their own complete version? I'm guessing there would be multiple methods given the multiple versions of the film.

There are just two breaks from chronology in the disc 1 presentation. "Crescendo Summit" is just one cue later, and "The Cover-Up" is withheld so that the truck convoy motif is introduced after the main characters are captured by Lacombe's team. And that's it, apart from the addition of the alternate "Escape," which isn't in the film anyway. I don't see how a couple of very minor moves can create the impression of a wildly non-chronological presentation, but the whole thing was approached with the idea of allowing listeners to personalize the music and experience it in different ways.

Yea,..me too. My book is slightly damaged on the rear corner where the packer had tried to stuff the book into the Jewel case. I'll live with it though because I'm just so pleased to have this CD in my possession.
