"...For this special archival edition 2-CD set, Music Box Records has gathered the best sources available to this day in order to present faithfully the original score written by the composer.
CD 1 presents "The Film Score'. With the precious technical assistance of our sound engineer, we did our best to reconstruct and restore the score from the 5.1 Music Stem (courtesy of Sony Pictures) and a safety copy of the original tapes. The result is stunningly convincing. As such, we kindly ask you to listen to our samples and make a decision on the quality yourself.
CD 2 presents 'The Original 1976 Soundtrack Album' (courtesy of Universal Music) that was edited from Herrmann’s sessions and was specially remastered for this edition. We also corrected the cue titles of the 1976 London Decca release which were misnamed and incomplete in tracks 4 and 5. Now you have the details of all the right cues used in the original LP.
Our release offers a rare opportunity to hear the magnificent romantic Herrmann score in two different presentations and preserves the composer’s own irreplaceable interpretation, bringing this marvelous music back to life just 40 years after it was written. This Deluxe Edition with slipcase is limited to 3000 units and includes a 24-page full-color booklet with in-depth liner notes by Daniel Schweiger, sharing his comments about the film and the score, including new interviews with editor Paul Hirsch and producer George Litto. Everyone will no doubt be 'obsessed' with this true original masterpiece!"

I won't name any names, but the number of specialty labels that have ignored this score is stupefying to me.
And with good reason.

Meaning "And with good reason is stupefying to you" OR "And with good reason labels have ignored this score"?

. I hope what Music Box found sounds good.
And why don't you listen for yourself? It's so bizarre, it's like I'm the only one on this board who actually went to their website when the discs were announced to see how it sounded...
It's very simple to cherry pick sample tracks. You really can't judge the quality until you hear the whole thing (volume dips, potted sections, etc...). Why is that hard to understand?
What was on the site was pretty damn good. I look forward to listening to the whole thing to better judge the entire production.

I listened to the whole thing...and must say it was extremely helpful today in the final mastering of the new recording.
An awesome tribute to this release. And can't wait to hear your rerecording either!
