DMD, So good to see this is being done right. Thanks! This certainly helps in making the selection process much easier when you are are at the border of the descion making process.
Another suggestion would be to add the backside scans of the
albums which are missing ( mostly on the older titles)
I have a question, what on the back tray helps with deciding to buy a CD or not. For example, if Varese doesn't post the back tray insert on new releases and older catalogue titles, but you have the track names and you have audio samples up and a high res image of the front of the cover, is that enough? Or do you just want to see the back tray just more out of curiosity? Do you need to see who performed on it, read the synth programmers, see where it was recorded or something? I'm just curious that's all.

The very same reason as to why Varese posts back tray insert on every other release. Talking about consistency here. Seriously, it has MORE to do with visual appeal and other information which are not always on the track list. More over albums are reissues and expansions and it becomes easier to compare with previously owned titles (the information, such as who mastered/produced the album and other production bits) So, Yes, it does satisfy the buyers curiosity in examining the product completely from that point of view. Im' sure others can chime in as well..

DMD, firstly, great news regarding the samples!
Regarding the question above, I personally like to keep an archive of the front and back covers for releases, even those that I do not own (yet) for my own fancy. At times I may purchase a download from iTunes or Google and still want to print a physical cover with art to display in my collection to drool over (crazy, I know). Also, as you mentioned, the back inserts often provide more information about the artists involved, orchestra, track lengths and titles, copyright info, and at times even provide great alternate movie artwork or stills. As many collectors are moving their music to digital archiving, it helps to have digital files of the artwork for reference without having to haul the physical product out of storage.

I confess I did not know this composer: George Streicher ....'Howard Lovecraft' (animation)... and I'm finding it very interesting this work .... many strings, original melodies and very beautiful, remind me of the classical Hollywood composers ......... I will buy!
Sounds like they aren't using a live orchestra to me sadly. Strings sound sampled.
Well...but some parts are so beautiful ... 'galloping melodies' ... 'mystery' ........ really liked this soundtrack, fellow...
We actually had live brass, strings and winds for a large portion of the recordings. Sadly, it wasn't feasible to record them all and we had to substitute with samples on some cues. But the vast majority of the recordings are live Brass and Winds.
