The interview convinced me to buy the new Home Alone (which I initially considered totally unnecessary).
Me too. Home Alone was also my very first soundtrack.

I'm glad the interview was able help provide more information about the new Home Alone issue. I understand how on paper it can seem like a superfluous release, since the previous edition was practically complete and didn't sound awful. But I've listened to the new version a lot since getting it, the improvement in sound is quite noticeable, with my ears noticing new instruments at times - at not just in cues that actually do contain more instruments then were ever released before (such as "Star of Bethlehem").
Mike and I definitely hoped the interview would help explain more about why the new release is such an upgrade, and the samples that will go live on Tuesday should help as well.
Besides, one can always sell off the previous LLL edition as well as the OST to help pay for the new one, since this definitive release supersedes both. In case it wasn't clear, the liner notes are based on the 2010 notes and contain the same behind the scenes info and track-by-track breakdown, only everything has been updated and expanded to reflect all the new music and new versions.
The Jaws 2 liners don't really discuss much about the elements used and creation of the new program, so I was glad to shed some light on it, and get to the bottom of the source music too.
And Jaws was such a monumental reissue of such an important and iconic score, I wanted to cover everything about it I could think of regarding it. I can't thank Mike enough for answering all of my rambling questions. Jaws is a release that sells itself, but hopefully any questions about specific differences between the Decca and the Intrada are all clear to everyone now. I don't know how many people have heard it yet but the sound quality is enormously different from the Decca, in nothing but positive ways. If a re-done surround-track for the film itself is ever commissioned, hopefully they will use these mixes of the music for it!
I have no idea what the next Williams restoration project will be, but I couldn't be happier as a consumer that Mike Matessino will be the one to take charge of it. Williams and Spielberg made a wise choice
