That was weird and anti-climatic. More frequent = anti- climatic it seems!

More frequent = anti- climatic it seems! I think you've pegged it. For me, Lionheart is Top 10 Goldsmith and Knowing is Top 10 Beltrami, so these new Deluxe Editions are a BIG deal! Can anyone confirm if Lionheart has been remastered? The Varese website (typo aside) is pretty vague It has been remastered by Chas Ferry. I haven't heard his work on it yet and I'm very interested because he may have been able to improve the sound on the two new cues since I last heard them. I would like to know that too, otherwise this is a bit of dull release - especially if you've already created this sequence yourself from the original two albums. A "dull release"? One of Goldsmith's greatest scores, out of print and unavailable on CD for DECADES? And now, expanded with two more cues almost nobody even knew existed before? Well you're in luck, the score is remastered, so you don't have to consider the release "dull". (Sheesh.) from "reference material" sources - whatever that means (presumably lower quality) Yes, those two cues are from a different source (and we are lucky to have them; we came very close to this release happening without them) and certainly have acceptable sound but do not sound as pristine and amazing as Varese's album master tapes. I've provided a bit more info here, to stave off speculation: https://www.jwfan.com/forums/index.php?/topic/33732-jerry-goldsmiths-lionheart-1987-new-2021-2cd-varese-deluxe-edition/&do=findComment&comment=1806414 Presumably, "The Future" is properly restored at least (and not simply edited out of the longer album version) It's a lot shorter here, though. But I think originally it had the end titles added to help round off the vol.2 It did. My question is: does this restore the original cue from the master tapes, or did somebody go in and split the old album master - which had an overlap and isn't easily separated. I tried - and made a good job of it - but you miss the fade by doing it. Chas Ferry had to do exactly that. There were no original session tapes to be found, only the (pristine and great sounding) Varese album masters, which did have that repeat of the End Credits combined with The Future on Volume 2. Interestingly, Doug Fake's copy (in worse sound) of the score preserved that same transition and had no clean ending to the cue, even though The Future was definitely a cue written for the middle of the movie and not originally written by Jerry to go into the End Credits; that was a decision made for album purposes. Only quibble: I'd have left the edit of "The Future" onto the start of the album since the film's main title is the same as the end. Would be a nice way to bookend the score! I briefly considered recommending this because I thought some people would think that way, but the truth is that The Castle was Jerry's original intended Main Title and first cue, as written by him for the original longer cut of the film. In the finished film his score his hacked up and moved around, with a truncated version of The Castle appearing after a truncated version of The Ceremony. But it was written as the Main Title, and on Doug Fake's dupe tape of the score, the first track was even titled "The Castle (Main Title)" so it couldn't be more explicit what Jerry's intentions were. He did not intend what was done in the final edit of the film, which was tracking his End Credits cue into the opening title cards. And there is no reason at all why The Future should be at the beginning of the program, when Jerry wrote and intended it for the middle of the film (it went entirely unused, just like the cues "Bondage", "The Black Prince", "Final Fight" and most of "Robert and Blanche", among many other shorter bits).

Has anyone else who placed their order on the date of release in the U.S. NOT gotten a notification of shipping? Strange that my order hasn't shipped yet almost a week later while UK customers who ordered it from the UK site got theirs the next day. James

James I ordered mine the morning of release in the U.S. and haven’t gotten a shipping notification either.
