Any info about this label? I've bought lots of titles from them. They tend to specialise in re-issuing vintage vocal albums from the 50' - 60's. Click on their catalogue and you'll get the idea. Sometimes, these are transcribed from the original discs, but the quality is always fine. They are reliable and fast. Any comments on the sound quality of this album, CH-CD?

They do quality LP transfers. Their catalog is made up of strictly public domain (in the UK) titles, so how exactly they have any original tapes of Windjammer is anyone's guess, unless they got someone here to slip them to them, which I doubt would happen, frankly. Once upon a time they asked me to distribute them here in the US, but I didn't feel it was right, frankly.

Well, the original album is magnificent, especially with that major, majestic main theme. As far as I know, this is its first release on CD; odd, because it was originally released on lp by Columbia, as prestigious a record label as e'er there was, and remained in print for decades. I've always wondered why it never made it to CD before now. Hopefully, CD1 of this set is the music tracks, and not the actual sound from the film, including copious sound effects and narration. Having finally seen the film this past year, during the Cinerama Festival, at the Cinerama Dome in L.A., I was struck by the fact that some of the film's music cues were quite different than they are presented on the original lp album. The album, in fact, is actually a better representation of Gould's score. Really looking forward to this release! Have already contacted SAE about it. (Now, if they can only give us an expanded release of Gould's score to the TV documentary, WORLD WAR I....)
