O.K. Krull-ites, here's your chance to help a fellow score devotee.
Tell me, please, whether the sound and comprehensiveness of the La-La Land CD represents enough of a reason to forsake my 1992 Soundtrack Collector's Special Edition.
Back in the day, the SCSE release was an unbelievable expansion that augured for the future expansions of monumental scores we all take for granted today. Something of a trailblazer, it was.
Back before Mike Matessino got to produce comprehensive releases of THE STAR WARS TRILOGY scores for the special edition release, there was a time when this and a tiny set of other SCSE releases (such as DRAGONSLAYER) was as cutting edge as it got for retrospective score expansions.
So, has the SCSE of Krull been obviated by the La-La Land, or does the SCSE hold up well enough to keep me spinning and ripping it? Your thoughts appreciated.

I appreciate that they didn't make the originals 2 CDs, even the 77 min version was over kill, The essential 40 min release was just about right as far a proper presentation and listening experience goes...it could have used maybe 10 mins more....
That's my feeling, Projectionist. The SCSE seems to have all the essential cues and sound quality exceeding the original Southern Cross CD release.
I'm really anxious for information on any additional cues beyond the SCSE disc, and especially whether the La-La Land sound seems to be a radical sonic upgrade.

Krull is a score that I don’t mind having all of. I never consider it too much or too long. It holds my attention for the full run. It falls solidly in the “they don’t make them like that anymore” category.
I have the old 2CD edition and I’ve been very happy with it. But I can’t imagine the LLL release is anything less than wonderful.

I'm just trying to get a sense if the La-La Land is enough of an improvement over the SCSE to seek it out secondhand.
Is the effort to track down and pry loose from its current owner equivalent to the sonic and content improvements of the La-La Land?
Or are the differences a wash, and I should be happy with what I've got?

Ford A. Thaxton: a producer and a gentleman...though some on this board may disagree.
Check with your physician for the proper dosage.

I have all 3 editions and I personally like the LLL release the most. There is indeed more detail and the sound is crisper than in the previous releases.

In my humble honeest opinion, the upgrade is worth every penny...
That would be over eight-thousand pennies, according to Amazon.com.
Is it really eight-thousand pennies worth of upgrade?

Same here, I do have the STCE 2CD release and am quite happy with it. Never felt the need to upgrade, but I'm sure the LLL release is excellent as well. I do also have the original vinyl.

If there's a consensus emerging here, it seems to be: either is good...both are better.
I think I'll go with both.

Interestingly, the more “modern” remaster of this title goes for detail over punch, which is the opposite of how that usually happens…
I prefer the La-La Land edition because of said detail, but the blazes of brass do sound nice on the SuperTracks edition. This is a score I much prefer in its complete form (I find “Vella” essential, for example).

Most definitely... this score is considerably better rounded in its full form. The vinyl plays like a mere "suite" in comparison.
