Corellian2019

Back in stock at LLL's website for those that are interested

Isn't it technically an American production, since, according to the director, Columbia Pictures co-financed it?

Il Gattopardo, Nino Rota

Keep the OST for "Ripley's Rescue"; it's the only way to hear it without the accidentally duplicated percussion

And at the very least, to fix the sonic error with "Ripley's Rescue" on the DE

Yep! Been waiting for this one since MV casually mentioned that LLL was working on it. Probably my favorite Elfman score, and his most atypical

Classic. And I don't buy the filmmakers trying to explain that the film was an homage to 50s B-movies; sounds like a lot of backpedaling

From The Digital Bits (bold emphasis is mine): Good to hear that it might be released on 4K disc, but bad to hear after I already bought the 3-film set

Slightly off-topic, but what do people think of Wallin's mixes for Robocop 2 and The Fugitive? Those scores sound great to me

The warehouse scene is in every version of the film. And the deleted scenes have been in every home video release since 2001

You can see part of the original assembly of shots (including Lacombe looking up at the sky) in the "Home Videos & Outtakes" feature on the 40th anniversary Blu-ray, which confirms Mike's theory

No, the 2" tape was the source. It's all explained here.

From the liner notes of the 2010 release, I remember reading that the 35mm 6-track mag was archived to 2" 24-track tape in 1998 for safekeeping (and was eventually the source used for the first LLL CD). I can understand if the mag deteriorated beyond repair, but the 2" tape was also damaged?? Damn
