As long as these are from the actual album masters I will be VERY happy - finally Mirage, and John and Mary is swell - but they're all swell, but I want to hear definitively what the sources are. For an obvious example, we know Doug at Intrada seems to be doing the AVA and Mainstream titles and Walk Don't Run is one of those - so is that master being used?

The first paragraph of the publicity blurb basically says that
"For the first time, here are the great film scores of Quincy Jones, remastered and uncut. It took a long time to find and restore the master tapes relevant to the part of his life entirely dedicated to writing for films."
It goes on . . .
"I wanted to write music for films since the age of fourteen years," says Quincy. This dream became reality eighteen years later in 1965 with "The Pawnbroker" by Sidney Lumet. "
The films of Quincy Jones encompass seven years of great intensity, an enchanted period (1965-1972) extended by "The Wiz," a movie with Michael Jackson, and especially "The Color Purple" by Steven Spielberg.
The theater stage will be decisive in the recognition of his talent, which up until then was highlighted by a virtuoso reputation as an arranger. But it is Hollywood that will install and confirm Quincy Jones as a composer.
For Quincy Jones, writing for the cinema is also a synthesis of its different cultures: bebop, soul, rhythm and blues, serialism, bossa nova.
Objectively, the cinematic territory of Quincy Jones is much larger than we imagine in theory. In its way, this lush anthology seeks to map it out.

These French UMG sets are great bargains. I just wish the "Cactus Flower" had been included. Maybe sooner or later..

Exciting release. One of the best of the year imo.
MacKenna's Gold has probably turned to dust, likewise A Dandy In Aspic but that shouldn't detract from just how good this set is.

Based on their previous Legrand, Jarre and Delerue sets this is an instant buy.
But see, bargain or not, this is my problem - most of the Legrand stuff came right from Legrand and certainly the Jarre came from Jarre and we know much of the Delerue came from the widow. So, for me, not always optimal sources.
