I've heard that despite the label's claims, this new release will only present one-fourth of the entire score.
Damn you, Quarter. Damn you.

I listened to the samples and they sounded INCREDIBLE to me and those were just samples from the net.
I wasn't upset about last yrs goof or whatever it was that happened but I'm also pretty low key kind if guy and these minor things don't upset me.

Quartet initially did what they could for Santa Claus with the masters that they had. Regardless of how you felt about the corrected pressing, you can't deny that how Quartet handled the reissue was a model of good customer service.
I have many Quartet releases, and they are all top-notch productions, with excellent sound, good artwork and informative notes. I'm not worried about their Santa Claus in the slightest; it will no doubt be the best it can be. Quartet has more than earned my trust as a label.

I can only echo the positive comments about Quartet - the CD's that I have had from them have been absolutely superlative in all aspects. Order with confidence, I say.
Just received Revenge of the Pink Panther from them too. Only had time to listen to a couple of tracks but it sounds great. And a lovely booklet with some very detailed and excellent notes by John Takis. (Thank you John!) Contrast this with the bare bones presentation of the original (abbreviated) album.
Looking forward - hopefully - to an expanded Return of the Pink Panther at some point too....

Glad you enjoyed them! This is an absolutely delightful score (particularly the "Oriental Dixieland" stuff) and it was a lot of fun to write about!
My pleasure
The thing is, Revenge gets dismissed lightly, and rather unfairly IMO, because of the disco/funk flavour which was especially emphasised on the original album release. I actually like that sort of thing myself - quintsssential Mancini 70's funk.
But there is some decent dramatic scoring too, on this expanded album.
Out of the recently released Curse and Trail PP albums, the 'new' Revenge is easily my favourite.
