Balahkay 627 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 This year marks the 50th anniversary. I have the 1997 Varese and the sound quality is so-so. I'm not sure the condition of the original elements or if a 1968 recording can be significantly improved. What are the chances of a remaster happening either this year or whenever?

Jay 37,287 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I would LOVE a new edition, it is a great score and I don't think the makers of the 1997 version had all the best elements available to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balahkay 627 Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 It's in my top 10 all-time favorite scores. I actually didn't see the film in totality until 2008 and I was thoroughly impressed with the music. I listened to Goldsmith's commentary immediately after. The monkey-like sounds he used in various tracks always made me chuckle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,326 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 The previous edition will have to do. Don't listen to it that much anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard a great score, with such crappy sound! 1 hour ago, Bespin said: Let's pray the Divine Bomb! Absolutely!

What NO ESCAPE does to me, is nobody's business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
