I'm finding these in the clearance bins for very cheap, and I'm not sophisticated enough ear-wise* to notice the problems others have brought up in the other thread covering the non-Dolby releases. What I did notice is that on the spine, one of them has a blue dot, and the others have a black dot. Anybody know what this means? *(Although you will hear me grouse big-time over the sound on the Varese version of TOUCH OF EVIL in another thread!)

I wonder if those with a different dot color were issued through something like the BMG Music Service. Those versions usually have a special notice printed on the back indicating as such.

Differing sound qualities to the contrary notwithstanding, I will always treasure my first-issue RCA CD's of THE SEA HAWK/Korngold and SUNSET BOULEVARD/Waxman, because -- of course -- of the expanded and additional tracks. (I assume most if not all of you are aware of what I'm referring to: the tracks from other albums in the RCA series which were borrowed for those two CD's, either to expand an already existing suite or to add another movie to the line-up.)

Yes, when the CD of The Sea Hawk was first released with extended & additional tracks, we thought they were all going to be like that (I'm sure they said that in their liner notes), but it looks like there was a big change of mind at RCA, & they released them bog-standard, the same as the LP's, but with the unwanted Dolby Surround (did anyone ever try that out?). There was some posts here about the wow at the start of The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre, & as I remember, it was on the original LP's, fixed for the first CD, but back again for the remastered CD (I could be very wrong there). And...I also remember La-La Land saying that they tried to license them from RCA (before the remasters were released), & I'm sure they posted what was going to be their track line up here.

I never understood what the big deal with that was....considering all the extra music was on other CDs. These were part of a projected re-issue of the whole series on fewer discs that ... ran out of funding.

Terra, I don't understand why you didn't understand. It may not have been as big a deal as, say, world peace, but it was nice to have more music to listen to on one disc. And it was nice to consolidate, for instance, all the Gerhardt-conducted Waxman on one disc. Capisce?

How is Sony's reissue of the Lost Horizon album of Dimitri Tiomkin's music? And do any of the Sony reissues have the suite from The Thing From Another World?

Sure wish Sony would bundle all of these titles up into one of their budget mini-boxes like they do with their classical artists and series. I'd buy it in a heartbeat!
