What do folks think of the Omega album? I have this and love it. I have never heard the Columbia LP, and it has been ages since I have seen the film. By Omega album, you mean the Ray Heindorf [CORRECTION: Heinz Sandauer] re-recording? That's probably what most people were familiar with outside of the film itself, and while not the film version, the sound quality is of course better. I enjoyed it, just like Leroy Holmes' KING KONG (making allowances). Playing a re-recording alot creates a schizophrenic rift where you forget the film music version. When the original film music is released, it can initially sound primitive in comparison. Ultimately it's apples and oranges, and better for one's sanity not to compare them. The Columbia LP was released with the film, but I've forgotten if it's the actual film cues or re-recordings. Either way, it sounds more "original" than the Heindorf version. And then, of course, there's the actual tracks released by Monstrous Movie Music.
