I hope not too many people pass on Intrada's expansion because the download is already out there.

 

Intrada's trying hard to get to do the "crown jewels" at Lucasfilm - which will be harder if they can't make back their investment on projects like SOLO. Not to mention it will prove Lucasfilm was right to limit the release of INDY V if most people will be happy with the download.

Quite randomly, back in the days we could access the high resolution cover using the thumbnails below the main cover, if you remember, it was something like that:

 

 

 

The second image was the high resolution cover, and replacing the size in the URL by "original" always led to the original file.

 

This still works now but it needs a bit more work:

• Get the link from the main cover: 
  • https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-lj8wphc2lt/images/stencil/500x250/products/667/1676/LostWorldCoverWeb__44035.1691458897.jpg?c=2
• Get the link provided in the description: 
  • https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-lj8wphc2lt/products/667/images/1677/LostWorldCoverHQ__47818.1691458913.1280.1280.jpg
• Use the first link as basis and replace the number IDs and file name by the ones from the second link to get this: 
  • https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-lj8wphc2lt/images/stencil/original/products/667/1677/LostWorldCoverHQ__47818.1691458913.jpg

Looks like La La Land made a good choice to reissue LOST WORLD.

I'm looking forward to Mike M talking about this score in detail as he sometimes does with new releases.

I have no idea, but I imagine they would be done as three separate trilogy packages. I think that would serve the music best (each trilogy really has its own "sound" and Williams' style evolved over time) and it would make creation of special packaging easier. If it happens at all, that is. It really should because there's a compelling argument to preserve all the elements in contemporary formats for future use apart from what we music fans would like.

Thanks for the write-up.

If you listen to anything requiring gapless playback (plenty of classical music, live albums, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, etc.), don’t bother: switching on lossless with Apple Music currently breaks gapless, introducing a noticeable stutter between tracks meant to flow seamlessly.

That's... annoying. Good to know.

Quartet's cover art is hands down the best IMAGES has ever gotten - either the CD or the LP versions.

I'd be interested in the experiences of those who have been listening.
