Has any tinkering been done to the album master portion? On the first CD, the strings have this weird quasi-mono sound to it (listen to the conclusion of the end credits, you'll hear what I mean), and it's... well, the only words to describe it are impolite. 
This is fantastic though, I'm impatient to listen to it!!
The original album portion is all re-mixed and recreated from the original multi-track tapes.

Great freaking news! I've been waiting for this one ever since I saw the film (in it's first run) back in the day. I wore out a buddy's LP (which I eventually replaced) and little did I know; A monster was born!.

Damn, and I (mistakenly) bought the b**t just last year year. Oh, well, looks like I'll be ordering a King Kong mini-box set next week.

Wow! This is just excellent. What a wondrous treat with two superb John Barry scores amongst the very last FSM discs. Can't wait to hear this one freshly expanded and remixed.
I count 288 EEKS, Alex. It's making me dizzy!
Confirmed by my count too! Ha ha. Hope you've got your CD player all warmed up for this, Alex.
Cheers
Chris

Is it just me, or has Lukas quit this scene far too soon? It would seem to me, despite his most gallant of efforts in the past, that he was just perfecting his--let's say, selective stride; that is to say, he really figured out how to not only perfect his packaging, but also grasped the wits to know what it was he needed to release in an effort to turn over the most profit (I say this as a observant opinion, obviously without personal knowledge). That's not to state his earlier efforts were anything but spectacular in-and-of themselves, but seeing that New-Release banner atop this site (Gremlins, King Kong, Body Heat, Ben Hur)--that alone would have anyone sincerely questioning why he shouldn't have kept pushing on, despite the politics, despite the varying, personal avenues.
Lukas--I don't care if CDs are dying; you should have kept dying with them, and I use this terminology (not to be confused with my intentions or motivations) rather lightly of course, being how I have always kept in mind your original disgust with how digital properties and piracy were "destroying" what you love. But what's the matter with you? Some of the finest packages ever put together in the soundtrack universe, and you quit on us? I'm equally thrilled and disappointed. Yes, you've made your contributions... but, Lukas--never a doubt... a regret... not even once?

Judging by the spate of recent CD releases with Lukas as producer or working in the background, I don't think his contributions to the film score community are going to end anytime soon. If I recall from what MV said, it was Lukas that got GNP on board with the Trek set, for example. That said, Lukas is finishing off FSM with one hell of a bang. What's the saying? Leave them wanting more?
Lukas, if you're reading this, thanks for everything!
