I figured this was the re-recording Intrada owned and wanted in the hi-rez market (along with a CD reissue), but the album art indicates it's the original recording. So do we know for sure which it is?

The album art which prominently says “London Symphony Orchestra”?? Obviously, this is the Intrada re-recording, not the film recording from the mid 60s.

So LSO wasn't recording film scores in the 60s?? I don't know. I know what original means.

LSO has actually been scoring films from the early days of film, but mainly for British films until maybe a handful of American films here and there in the 50s and 60s - basically Star Wars put them on the map and from that point on American composers used them frequently.
As far as I can tell, the Twentieth Century-Fox Symphony Orchestra played for the original recording that was used in the film, a common practice in those days for American studios to have their own orchestra - I don't have the album notes with me but some online credits show LA session musicians, so I'm pretty certain.
The LSO handled the re-recording, so this upcoming release from Intrada is indeed the re-recording.

Yes, they did. Mysterious Island is just one example.
Oh yeah, that sounds about right. I think Bernard Herrmann was the beginning of minor usage of the LSO for film scores, but then John Williams brought them into the American mainstream.

Well the 2013 Intrada reissue and 1989 original issue also said “Original Motion Picture Score” — that just means the score was an original composition; not that the album is the original recording.

Hey. So, funny story: I reviewed Rio Conchos two and a half years ago and only remembered it earlier. Protip: getting old sucks.
Why your cat is licking my monitor??

I've got the CD but will upgrade to 24 bit. Would be nice if Intrada could include access to the notes for downloaders.

The original recording is not in 24-bit, since it was recorded in 1989.
I hope it was recorded in 20-bit, though, but don't know exactly when the first 20-bit recordings were actually done.
Maybe they recorded to analog at the same time and used that for this master?
