Let me get this straight - everyone is receiving their CORRECTED copies with the CORRECT cover? Because I thought that had been delayed. Someone just tell the simple truth.

I'm sure no-one has received the corrected cover as yet. Various European retailers, including Amazon, have been mailing out the original version with the wrong cover. Amazon UK had it listed (and mine is on it's way)but now say it's unavailable. Maybe Stylotone will supply replacement covers for those buyers who complain (actually I rather prefer the "wrong" photo to the "corrected" one, even though it's not from the right film!).

I bought it through Super Deluxe Edition on 02/14, still haven't received it.
I tried to get in touch with them but no answer came at all.
Did anyone bought Marnie through them and received it yet?
Let me know guys.
Thanks.
I ordered this one from them - I was very curious about the quality. I ordered the day before you and they took the money that day. I made an account on their site. The order doesn't even show up there, interestingly, but I have their own e-mail confirmation to me and my Paypal receipt, so I just wrote to them via their site and sent them the same thing to their e-mail address. We'll see how soon they get back to me - should they not get back to me I can assure you hell hath no fury like a hainsie scorned.

I had also emailed SuperDeluxeEdition as I'd ordered the "super deluxe" version Day 1. Paul Sinclair at SuperDeluxe sent me an email today that this release, with the corrected cover photo, has been delayed until May 24th.

They got back to me and as you've already read, it's end of May - HOPEFULLY.

Spoils the abrupt ending of "The Hunt", for example. Sounds like you’re listening to some sample clip ! (I only listened to the cd and download. Maybe the LP is different).
It's also on the CD. It's not that dramatic IMHO but the old release of The Hunt on Tsunami had a clean ending on that cue though.
Fades are definitely there, and no doubt some people will be apoplectic about it, but I would call it more of a mild fade-down, and it's not on every cue, including the prelude and the first 4-5. All the music is there and I feel the fades were done very judiciously. An annoyance, but can't honestly say it bothers me that much. In the actual movie, many of the cues are faded out completely or set at low volume. If this was released as it played on screen, there'd be much reason to be upset! 99 percent of The Hunt sounds great on this release, not going ape over the last 1 percent.
There's just too much good about having the complete original soundtrack (with some interesting unused bonus cues, particularly the one entitled Mr. Strutt), as opposed to the bootleg or the McNeely re-recording, which I feel was one of his worst. I'll likely never play that one again. This will be my first choice, although I'll still keep the Tsunami. More bothersome to me is having to buy the whole LPs/CD/download package at a high price just to get the recording. But many have already logged that complaint. Add mine to the pile.

Okay, here it is, unvarnished and plain. Some of you won't want to hear this. Some of you will want to hear this. And I'm still going through it to see what's what.
I now have Stylotone's Marnie - I ended up getting the wrong cover because I knew the corrected copies were not gonna get her until the beginning of June at the earliest.
As I've said here many times, I have had the stereo Marnie for a very long time. I'm not exactly sure how it was gotten, but I know from whom I got it and I know I was not the only one who got it from that source, and that includes Intrada, who was going to do this. I have not read any of the liner notes - I don't even know if there ARE liner notes - I'll have to look. I don't know if they're cagey about where this came from, whether it's just a clone of what I have or what.
Sound: The mastering engineer, supposedly one of the greatest anywhere, or so I keep reading, has dulled the sound a bit - it's okay, but the one I have is brighter and better. The Stylotone isn't bad, it just isn't quite as good. Are the fades there on the Stylotone - with the exception of the main titles, yes. It wouldn't have been possible to fade the main title as it ends loudly and with an abrupt note. The fades are indeed irritating, sorry. And not a one of them is present on what I have. The worst one, at least of what I've heard so far, is on The Hunt. What's fascinating about that cue is on the Stylotone it ends at around the 2:46 mark - on mine that track contains the next cue as well - there's no fade at 2:46, it just continues on with the next cue and it sounds great like that. That's not the only time that happens. It leads me to believe that they had exactly what I had - same with Twisted Nerve, as a matter of fact.
Interestingly, what they call alternates are in the body of what I have. For example, the two Mr. Strutt cues - on the Stylotone you get "film version" in the body and then alternate as a bonus. On mine the two go together on the same track. I'm not sure why and I'd have to watch the film to see what's what there. So, it's a little difficult to keep going back and forth between them due to those differences, but I'm mushing on and will report back with any other interesting things I find. But the fades were totally unnecessary.

I've already paid for this release, so I expect it will come to me eventually. That's certainly a bummer about the fades. I'd prefer to have that fixed over cover art issues, but I'll still be happy to have the score in this form that it is.
I guess the question is how/why this stuff happens to begin with? Certainly one of the best mastering engineers in the biz would know of better ways remediate most problems short of the source material not being usable past the fade point.

Perhaps that's just an aesthetic choice. Perhaps he went from the same exact source I and a few others have and wanted to separate tracks that had been put together and the only way he could do that was to add a fade before the other track came in. Perhaps what I have was someone's attempt to actually make an album out of Marnie, although I would have gone further because it's really mostly a bunch of forty-second cues. I don't have answers, really, although I may pull out the Blu-ray to see what's what.
I also want to be clear that I'm not coming down on Stylotone's release - it's a handsome package as these things go, and the music is the music and is wonderful - it sounds fine but the fades are a little maddening for those who don't like that sort of thing. Most will be happy with it.
