Track 1 has been updated and sounds much better now (even though it appears to be 44.1kHz audio resampled to 96kHz): Track 2 still sounds and looks bad: Many tracks are similar to track 1 (which sounds good but is fake high resolution). Some tracks are still low quality like track 2, that includes: track 7, start of track 12, track 17, track 19, track 22 and track 23. None of these are available as samples on the Intrada website, so there's no way to check if it's the right master. Anybody who has the CD can confirm those sound good on their copy?

First track spectrogram (from Qobuz file, 24-bit 96kHz): This sounds so bad... Who's gonna ask Intrada or Back Lot Music to fix it?

Wow, Stargazers was amazing

My order just shipped!

Seems like we now have an album full of arrangements from Kyle Eastwood which includes The Eiger Sanction:

Always a pleasure to listen to Maurizio, Tim, Mike and now Jay speaking! Thanks a lot for this! Great podcast!

Strange! That's already better than my situation where I had absolutely no way to get the corrected Indy files, except by using a VPN to connect from another continent. Done, let's see if that works If it does, I'll ask for the SW recording sessions next EDIT, they already answered:

Are you talking about this one? https://assets.debut.disney.com/The_Little_Mermaid_Score/13_PartOfYourWorldRepriseIi_HalleBailey_HD_MSTR_USWD12321022.wav The track lasts 1:33 on my side, which is the same length as the commercial album. Maybe you have the same cache "bug" that I have for Indy?

I sent an email too for Indy yesterday, I guess it definitely worked! Do you think we should also tell them about the missing track from Mandalorian S3?

Voller Returns also has a pitch shifted ending: The FYC files being fixed, I've been able to analyze each track and I can confirm that this is exactly the same master as the album. The only exclusivity of that FYC is that it is presented in high resolution (24bit 96KHz), a format that Disney Records doesn't sell or stream, for some reason.

Yep. It just worked using a US VPN

A network expert colleague just told me that Cloudfront caches the request. I guess I must be using their european gateway which still has the old truncated files cached.

I see fixed tracks, but the Prologue track still has a length of 4:58 here.

Are you sure those were fixed? I'm still seeing the truncated files.

Sent an email to inform them!

The FYC is in 24-bit / 96kHz!! Many files look corrupted, with a cut ending. Only some files are correct, and have the same contents as the OST: 2. Helena's Theme 3. Germany 1944 4. To Morocco 5. Voller Returns 6. Auction at L'Hôtel Atlantique 8. To Athens 9. Perils Of the Deep

Hopefully this great cue is available on the FYC GreatCue.wav EDIT: really??? FYC=OST ?!

The Other Intersection Scene WOTW.wav

Nothing!

Aren't they available losslessly on Qobuz?

Wasn't the master found in UMG UK vaults?

This is a really good score and a good album. The cover also looks good in Poweramp, especially with that great waveform below it, beautiful.

But they bothered adding the "LIMITED QUANTITIES AVAILABLE" note, which wasn't on the initial page weeks ago, so I guess this was legit.

Snapped off teeth again!
