Is this release the same 'sounding' one as the latest Varese?

this expanded 2 cd set produced by Nick Redman features an incredible audio restoration by Mike Matessino

Jim Titus is simply amazing at what he does. Probably the best ever, actually.

The sound has been cleaned up as well as some edits fixed for this version. Mike went through the Varese version and really tweaked it to his and our liking.
Is it worth the upgrade? Of course it is (I'm biased), but if you have the Varese version then there really is no need to buy this unless you want Jeff's new notes and Jim's gorgeous package...wait, that came out wrong.
You know what I mean!

I'll be close to the front of the line to order this latest edition of what is among my four or five all-time favorite film scores.
Although I'm ecstatic to have lived long enough to enjoy such a complete and so sonically solid an album of this music, I nevertheless wish that Varese still had in print their CD of the original Decca LP. That Newman arrangement/performance of a drastically abridged EGYPTIAN remains a peerless listening experience in its own right. As an LP, it stayed a remarkable well-over-a-decade in the Schwann catalog, and IMHO should never be allowed to go out of print.

I'm sure it's the same as the Varese, which I have, or I'd be buying this, as this looks to be the best presentation yet. My favourite ancient world epic film score, & a great weird & wonderful film. I'm lucky enough to have the Twilight Time Blu-ray, which looks stunning & really should be re-released.
Have you ever noticed when, during Akhnaton's final scene, when he is talking about the Aton, how he says, "more, much more," and slowly mounts the stairs leading up to the throne, how the lighting subtly changes, from mostly cool hues, to a golden tone around him? Very subtle. Very effective.
THE EGYPTIAN movie and score are among my Top Ten Favorites!
I was debating getting this, but the presentation is so superb, how can I resist!

It stayed longer than that. I was seeing it in record stores for a good 20 years after its initial release. I even think there was a cassette release.
