Do you think they will make amends and do another pressing of the Dracula and add a bit of gown to cover up the bosom to make up for their transgression? After all LLL did restore the T-Rex teeth for the JP box for the later pressing of the release. Bespin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,504 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Finally had a chance to listen to the digital promo (I wanted to hear the OST first, which is what I'm on now). Sounds good, although there's no "oh my God, this is sooo much better than the original album" sentiment. A bit "cleaner", perhaps, but nothing outright remarkable in comparison, if you ask me. I'll do the film score afterwards, and compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bespin 8,481 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 You compare the new Varese CD, with the old 1990 Varese CD? And you don't find it "Wow"? aescalle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,504 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 That's right. But sampling the film score/disc 1, that sounds considerably superior in terms of sonics.

Nocturne - John Williams and Dracula as it says below the title. Oh and that packaging looks absolutely stunning. Lovely to see such effort put to all aspects of this release. It was a funny quip from Mike during the London talk when he said he had had to keep pretending for quite a while that the Dracula tapes were still missing while working on this release to keep it all a surprise. aescalle and crumbs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,315 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 If only Jane Eyre was actually just missing With Dracula recovered and all the Star Wars scores now digitised, the most significant missing material would have to be the "lost" Hook tapes now.

Jabba was used on the OST demaster, but technically it could have been lifted from the appropriate segment of the album masters. I'd be interested in seeing a spectogram comparison of the Sony 2016 version of that track (sourced via new scans of the OST masters) and the 2018 Disney version of the track (which should've been sourced from the film mix tapes). If we can confirm it's a different source/scan, that would indicate the tapes were located. If the spectogram is 1-1 identical, it's a sure-bet the tapes weren't found. How exactly did it become common knowledge that these particular recordings were missing, anyway? Is there any more weight to that than the fact the OT masters were apparently missing/lost in the salt mines? Murphy himself claimed that as recently as 2016 but they've since been found.

Holko 9,526 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I don't know the original source, but they definitely were missing at one time because the 1997 SE would surely have included the Jabba piece at least in they weren't. As long as we don't have a comparison of the completely lossless bitperfect 2016 and 2018 releases (and if it was recycled from the 2016 one, it still could be mastered a bit differently, causing differences between the two), we have no sure way to know they were found until they are released, unless I forgot something.

crumbs 14,315 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Well, to the audiophiles, do they sound different? There's lots of other tracks that are noticeably different between the two releases. A spectogram would reveal greater detail. A good reference from Wikipedia on the subject of unreleased ROTJ material: Quote Currently, several source cues and other material are unavailable. Many of these master tapes could not be located in time for the score's special edition release and are presumed lost. These tracks include: Jabba the Hutt's Concert Suite - All but the final portion of this original recording, incorrectly edited onto the end of the cue "Han Solo Returns" on the Anthology, remains unreleased. (This same portion is heard on the Return of the Jedi DVD menu as well). Film Version of Lapti Nek (Original Source) - Several versions of this source cue written by John Williams' son Joseph are available. Currently available are the album version on the Anthology and an extended album version and an instrumental track released on an LP single. However, the film version has yet to be released. English Version of Lapti Nek (Sung by Joseph Williams) - This cue can be heard partially in From Star Wars to Jedi: The Making of a Saga, but remains either lost or simply unreleased. Max Rebo Band Song (Sail Barge Dance) --Source Cue - This piece, performed by the resident musicians in Jabba's court (The Max Rebo Band) has never been released. It is heard after Chewbacca is taken away and also on Jabba's sail barge (hence its title). This cue can also be heard almost totally complete in From Star Wars to Jedi: The Making of a Saga, but remains unreleased. Unknown Source Cue - this cue is not used in the film but is credited to Joseph Williams. Nothing more is known. Alternate Film Takes - Several cues such as "Superstructure Chase" are presented on the SE using incorrect and often flubbed takes. Battle For Endor Insert - This insert can be heard in the film when Chewbacca and the Ewoks use the AT-ST to blow up another AT-ST and is similar to a section from "The Forest Battle Concert Suite" but has never been released. Ewok Celebration (Film Version) - Two versions of this cue have been released, however, neither preserves the actual original recording used in the film.
