Star Wars aside, I wish that RCA/BMG had included the five suites of new material from Spectacular World of Classic Film Scores as bonus tracks on the 12 official CD releases, with Julius Caesar added to the Rozsa disc, Peyton Place on the Waxman disc, The Thing on the Tiomkin disc, King of the Khyber Rifles on the Hermann disc and Amfitheatrof's Salome dance on one of the remaining 8 discs.
We should be thankful that the resplendent Raksin Conducts Raksin CD was released.

What is wrong with the prequel scores that they would need Tadlow style or any style of re-recordings?
Expansion! Good old fashioned expansion.

I'm wondering what the sales have been like for these albums. I was surprised to see that my local record store even has a few of them sitting on the shelf. They're in the 'classical' section under Gerhardt, so anybody who wants them would probably never find them.

... are being re-released as part of the Classic Film Scores redo (without the Dolby surround sound)?
I'm talking of the two Williams Jedi and Star Wars/Close Encounters discs, and the Spectacular World of Classic Film Scores disc that has plenty of important material not on the other CFS CDs.
The recent remastering of the first two batches was such an improvement over the old, I'm hoping they don't stop there.
Crikey!!!
Luckily I managed to stumble onto this thread while warming up in our hotel in a freezing Venice. Thanks for the 'heads up'.
I wa really disappointed in the Lost Horizon CD so hopefully the remastered version will be an improvement.
I've ordered six others as well.
Well, off to a Vivaldi concert! Yay!

We don't need another "Four Seasons" either. Re-Record stuff that isn't there already.

I'm set up to a/b almost anything. I've got a great Yamaha amp and superb Paradigm speakers - which don't add too much colour. I can go from blu-rays to DVD's to VHS to laserdiscs pretty easily back and forth and any audio combination. I a/b'd the new Gerhardt's with the old - and prefer the old because of the artificial EQ'ing of the new. The 3 I checked have been run through a processor - likely one of those new jobs which are supposed to 'analog-ize' digital recordings (sometimes it works but not on recordings that already sounded great). If you had a really cold, austere sound that you wanted to make sound a little more fiery and warm, yes but these sound like they've been coloured by sonic crayons. The audio equivalent of colorizing. With all that - I'm not 'tekky' enough to grab samples and put them up for comparison (yet). Maybe next year.
Just got back from Venice and live Vivaldi concerts. Waiting for me was a package of the remastered scores. I have just finished listening to Lost Horizon and to my ears and memory it sounds like my 1st experience back in the day to listen to the original LP when I used a Rega Planar 3 turntable plus Cambridge amp and Heybrook HB2 speakers.
It sounds much better than the original cd versions to me.
