It becomes apparent listening to these samples, that the final film mixers determined the sound of this soundtrack release for lo these many years, with added reverb that crushed the dynamics of various instrument groups. Probably inherent in the Dolby mixing process of the time. Glad to hear the veil affixed by the mixers lifted at last. Just like the recent WarGames release.

Agreed. All these years later and that hardbound book still doesn't look like it even belongs with a CD set. It's too handsome and too exhaustive.

Very mixing feelings about Sups. From one hand, I'm glad, that after Blue Box was finally sold out, the score still be in-print. From the other hand.... Does it mean that in 2028 we will get 50th Anniversary edition, which will sounds even better, with another 1-2 tracks, which no-one heard for 50 years? And in serious mode - I understand that this new edition is remastered, improved etc., etc. and etc. But if I already own Blue Box, do I really need to upgrade it? Please, don't say - just listen samples & compare. I don't have expensive hi-fi equipment, so if I couldn't hear difference on my current equipment, I'll wait with this one. Let's face it - $35 (+ another $35 for bonus tracks, which were released on Superman 2-3 set), plus huge international shipping costs just for some short new tracks and better sound (with no guarantee that I'll hear the difference!) - is too much for me. It will be very helpful, if Mike can comment about improvements etc.

After shipping and the usual seizure by customs and their ransom demand, buying these two discs will work out about $100, but I still have to have it. International shipping and customs are killers though. People are complaining on the Stylotone / Marnie thread about how much that CD/LP/digital package costs. Yet for us Brits, we have to pay that kind of money every time after shipping and customs, and just for a CD. See how dedicated we Brits are? :-) Cheers

I'm wrestling with this Superman decision. It would be the sixth time I'm buying the score, starting from the LP. And yes, each edition is better than the last. But it's a very individual thing and no one can decide it for you.
