    Way more music in reasonable quality? (I usually would assume that, but with archive Morricone releases, apparently it's not necessarily always the case).

     

    My old versions came as a 2 CD compilation with the first two Dollars scores on the first disc and the old standard album programme of OUATITW (which I already had individually) on the second disc. My Fistful is 29 minutes long (but 14 of those are a "suite" made up mostly or probably entirely - it's been a while - of the other tracks on the album), and the sequel has 17 minutes. I assume those too are old album programmings.

     

    But then the films themselves aren't scored wall to wall and do reuse some music cues, so I've never been able to work out how much I'm missing.

     

    The release you're talking about contains the original LP programs.

     

    The expansions have additional tracks in good mono, and some of the tracks, especially for More, are absolutely essential.

    You certainly make a valid point, but I just disagree. Take the symphonie fantastique. Explain the reasoning behind the repeat in the first and fourth movement. Especially the fourth. You can't walk to your scaffold twice, unless the executioner called in sick the first time, but Berlioz didn't write that in the program notes, I think.

     

    It's a dream, where logic seizes to exist.
