I'm ordering anyway, tomorrow (with John Barry's The Dove CD  ) Sometimes we just need to take the best that we can get.

The fact that the isolated score for THE BOUNTY is mono will not come as news to those who have been following the forum threads about this release. The original announcement mentioned a "music-plus-effects track," and when the final PR changed to "isolated score," Mike Matessino clarified right here on this forum that mono music-only elements had turned up during production. The reviewer quoted above seems to feel that mono isolated score tracks for stereo scores are inherently worthless. I vigorously disagree. It's not as though Twilight Time had a pristine stereo track that they deliberately held back, and the fact that the cruddy-sounding bootleg is stereo is immaterial. The choice here was between mono, music covered up by sound effects, or nothing. Given those options, I'll happily take the mono track!
To be honest i couldn't find the matching threat about this isolated score, maybe you can tell us where the original threat is located?
Anyway since there is no sign of any info around this i am just telling what is in the news today, am i not aloud to write about it when there is a complaint? the added info is not only regarding the track is in mono but also that the soundquality of the track is pretty poor, people have the right to know that before they order it.
I have bought this blu ray too but now i read this information i regret it very much.
And i still haven't received it so i am afraid customs will add a nice extra bill to this (already expensive) purchase also!

Wait, what? The Dove?
Have I missed something important, or is this a leg-pull?
EDIT: Never mind. I've just seen the trouser-wetting announcement. Oh, boy!

("a few important fragments are qouted from Vangelis fansite: Elsewhere"...Thanks to Paul MacLean)
Just to clear the air, when passing my impressions along to the Elsewhere site, what I actually said was this...
"I can confirm the Blu-ray has the full end title music heard in the original theatrical and VHS releases, which continues past the end credits for a minute or so. The music for the storm is dialed-down before the end of the sequence however, while the music for the montage on Tahiti (where Bligh realizes he's losing control of the crew) is interrupted by some Tahitian percussion and the blind fiddler for a moment. But overall though I find the music track satisfactory.
I must say, even though the isolated music track is mono, it does sound very good -- certainly much better than that ******* that's been floating around since the 90s."
I was rather dismayed that they created the impression I was critical of the release -- which I am not at all. In fact I am actually thrilled to have it -- particularly in light of the fact that this soundtrack is unlikely to ever be released on CD.

In contrast to this, I am literally 'over the moon' about the isolated score to "First Men in the Moon". I had no idea that the stereo tracks to this wonderful Laurie Johnson score still survived. There are a few cues combined with effects but the majority of the score has brilliant fidelity and stereo separation. Recorded on Stage 'L' at Shepperton Studios. If only the stereo tracks had survived for "Jason" and sounding like this....

That is indeed a bit of a different story thanks for clearing that up  )
It was never intended to twist your story
No problema. Thanks!

They sound fine to me. I'm thrilled to have the isolated track, since we're unlikely to ever see a genuine Bounty CD release. And even if we do, a lot of the cues we have on the Blu-Ray probably wouldn't be included anyway.
