This version and the live performance have not been issued on blu ray to date. The digibook blu ray set however is very detailed and is compact. I still feel they should have released the extended cut as a bonus in the forthcoming set with the new Williams track. But I guess Spielberg is not interested in it for now. No idea as I never had the laserdisc. As for the cd I remember reading that it was the MCA 1996 expansion set? Can you post some pics of that gold cd? Im curious.

phbart 607 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Here's what Steve Hoffman said in his forum in 2005 about the E.T. recordings: " ET was recorded on four channel 1/2" analog tape at 15 ips Dolby A with a split "mixed" feed to Botnick's two-track digital machine. From that he DIGITALLY edited the soundtrack album onto a 1610 digital master. I prepared a DDD CD release for Uni in 1984 from the Botnick digital master (without the gaps for the side split) but I have no idea if it was used or not. The filed LP cutting master tape was 30 ips analog DUBBED at Whitney Studios from the 2 track digital tape as prepared by Botnick at Digital Magnetics in '82 (or was it '83?) So the tape marked "master" is really a dub of the digital edited U-Matic tape. Confused? Well, I have never heard the ET soundtrack on CD so I can't help you. HOWEVER: Listen to the beginning. If there is any tape hiss on there it's the analog safety. If it's quiet as a mouse AND it doesn't sound like noise reduction was used then it is from the tape I prepared which was completely DDD. I did it at DM under Botnick's supervision. Heh, my version had a whopping 80db of dynamic range which was almost too much for the playback gear of the time to handle. For most of the opening piece the VU meters didn't even MOVE! The analog dub was limited down to 20db which was still pretty radical for an LP cut in the early 80's on poor vinyl. I bet they had a lot of returns.."

Amer 2,071 Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 Makes sense but It was an intriguing thought. There was an audiophile pressing of the OST album issued on cd probably Japan (Which I had to sell a year ago to meet ny finances) and it sounded way better and punchier than the one on the other regular edition. So I'am now hoping to see how good this new remaster will sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phbart 607 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Yes, of course. Original albums don't need remixing. They are just meant to sound better than what they did when originally released, not to sound different. However, a newly expanded edition will definitelly benefit from the technology that a modern 2017 mixing software can bring than a 1982, 1996 or 2002 could do.

Blu-ray looks fine if it's masterered well and it's accurate to the source. Problems only show up when it's viewed upscaled on a UHD screen, which it wasn't designed for. Not true. Blu-Ray is 8-bit, UHD is 10-bit. Makes a world of difference. And the codec is also much worse on Blu-Ray. No matter what you do, you will never be able to avoid banding on Blu-Ray.

But compared to UHD Blu-Ray, it just has some big technical limitations that shows the formats age now that we have OLED 4K displays and such, that can finally show movies close to the original source material.
