So I bought Robin Hood, the 1938 color blu-ray version and now I want the soundtrack. I looked it up on amazon.com and saw a copy that is a CDR. Did they made a regular edition that is on a pressed CD and if so where is it on amazon.com. I put a blurb about this request on the old Robin Hood re-recording thread, but no one commented. HELP ME HELP ME Thanks my friends!!

While both re-recordings are good, I still prefer Korngold's original recording by far. The DVD has an isolated score track, but I would LOVE it if FSM put out a lossless version without film edits and with their customary superb packaging. Even with the iso score, I suspect this would be one of their biggest sellers because it's Korngold's most beloved score (even though Sea Hawk is obviously better IMO...bring that one on too!)
I wonder when FSM is going to tap more Korngold scores for release...I thought they were going to come pouring out of the gates when they released the complete Sea Wolf/King's Row two-fer.

I had seen the re-recording and the marketplace but wasn't sure if they were just selling CDR's or if they were indeed the actual PRESSED discs. I guess it would be the pressed discs as why would anyone buy a used copy for $28.00 when they can have it sealed new for $8.99. I contacted 2 sellers.
Again a HUGE thank you to my filmscore family!!!

There's also about a half hour on the Film Music of Erich Wolfgang Korngold vol 1 disc from the BBC Philharmonic/Gamba, coupled with a recording of music from the Sea Wolf.

I enjoy both the Kojian and Stromberg recordings as well. I haven't heard Gamba's take yet, however, so I can't really make a judgement on that.
It should also be mentioned that there is a DVD-Audio edition of Marco Polo's The Adventures of Robin Hood with absolutely thunderous sound (it will play the score in DTS in a regular DVD player, but the advanced resolution tracks are worth hearing if you can).
For those who haven't seen the film, this and The Sea Hawk are both well worth watching. The films are great fun, and hearing the scores in context is a very different and rewarding experience.

Do you ever listen to your Blu-Ray's music-only audio track?
There are also supposed to be Korngold piano sessions included on your disc.

I haven't seen the film yet, but I recently bought the Varese re-recording on CD via ebay for 80 cents, and I really dig it.
OH MY GOD, the blu-ray Josh is like CRAZY. I swear it's so clear you would have thought it was made yesterday. I never saw it until I saw the blu-ray and it's outstanding.
Thanks so much for the score tips guys and gals and children of all ages!

Thanks for the reminder! I just got a machine that can play the DVD-A format and I just ordered this disc. It also features music that isn't on the CD!

You guys on here are just awesome. I sent 2 notes to amazon sellers about getting a PRESSED disc and got a response back today and ordered my pressed disc. Again a HUGE thank you to all of you. I love you guys!!
I encourage ANYONE who has not seen this film to watch the blu-ray, it is absolutely incredible, more incredible to think the film is 72 years old. Well of course the score is wonderful on all levels!!
