I just got my alternate disc today and after listening back to back to the original pressing, I can't seem to tell the difference. Would someone please help clarify specifically what I should be noticing between the two takes? I believe it's 2:15-2:30 or so?

I believe it’s 1.55-2.15 and JH overlayed french horns that are louder than his original intent.

I really don't hear anything "off" with this release. I may not even bother requesting a replacement disc. I'm a happy camper as is.
The horns are definitely back! SO prominent now in the opening track.
Another easy way to see if you have the new disc is to check the CD-TEXT. Originally there was a goof/joke on track 7 "The Rescue , Discovery Of The Great Scott Valley". On the new disc, that is gone. It merely is the track name as it should be.
Mine arrived today. Listening to it now - what a difference in the horns. I still don't know which I prefer to be honest so I've replaced the first track of the original with that from the replacement and moved the original version to the end of the programme and labelled it Original Version.
I assume we'll need to send a note to Intrada to request the replacement disc? I ordered my copy from them directly so I wasn't sure if they were simply sending out replacements automatically.
Seems wasteful to request a replacement for something hardly noticeable. More plastic into the landfill!
I’ll be keeping mine as is.
I noticed it right away, though I knew it was in track 1 somewhere already. And now that I have both, I did a comparison and the difference is pretty clear. The fixed version sounds a lot better -- the error one is really skewed in its balance.

Thing is it's not an 'original version', it's an error. The recording itself is the same (I believe), just a bad mix. But sure, if you want to do that on your listening, I guess you can? *shrug*

But hey, you do you.
First world problems. But hey, you do you as well.

I don’t believe this is an accurate description as mix has nothing to do with it. The take on the first pressing is the circle take. That is, Horner’s master take that he felt was final. However he preferred the horn playing for that small section in an earlier, unusable take, so he edited that in. We’ve replicated that here in this updated disc.

....and it sounds amazing! Thank you Intrada for an exquisite release!
