    Like what happened on Jerry Goldsmith's TOTAL RECALL sessions. If true this set would be fun to behold.

    Thank you, Amer. I'm still not even close to getting an overview, re-arranging what I've been able to restore from other sources etc. etc., but I'll definitely take you up on the offer in a few weeks, when I have control of the situation.

    I love the way that the entire orchestra on the ALIEN 3 fanfare, moves from mono to stereo, and from the front, to the rear, of the soundstage.

    Title's a bit misleading. He's only currently producing, and he might direct it. That being said I think Spielberg could make a fun Blackhawk film, which is less of a traditional superhero film, and more of a World War 2 set Adventure series, depending on whether they decide to set in the past or present. Plus I'd love to see Williams score another comic-book film.

    The only good thing we know is that the music exists well preserved. I'm in particular happy for Thor on the STORY OF A WOMAN. The RARE BREED is another holy grail of mine and perhaps when Williams is in a better mood we just might have him surrender to these.

    Sure enough it is the original release, but it's now in physical form as expected. That's all I was getting at.

    I want the original engineer's mix, the Eric Tomlinson mixes.
     
    Yes, the document from Chris Malone website does mention that 3 track and 2 track tapes were available for the 1993 Anthology release. For the 1997 SE they went for the 3 track ones, and he believes that it sounds bad because the tapes weren't handled properly.
     
    His words: "Almost immediately following release of the 2CD Special Edition to Return of the Jedi, the recording was criticised for possessing a soft and muffled sound. A three-track reduction of the original preedited Abbey Road tapes was used to prepare the set, which was beautifully assembled by Michael Matessino. Unfortunately, this is one of the few positive comments that can be made about the presentation. Disappointingly, the upper highs have been significantly attenuated. Signal above 10 KHz is virtually non-existent and most certainly rarely extends beyond 14 KHz. It would seem that no additional EQ, however radical, can cajole these frequencies satisfactorily. There is also an inconsistent application of EQ from disc one to disc two with the former generally brighter compared with the latter. The reason for the conspicuous absence of upper highs – and the hiss that should be present with analog recording – could be shared between poor alignment of the machine used to reproduce the source tapes and incorrect calibration of the requisite Dolby A decoder. More likely, the extensive use of digital noise reduction during mastering is the culprit. The noise reduction has vacuumed up the ambience of the original recording leaving a false, barren wasteland in its place. As a whole the music is congested and closed-in, lacking the aliveness of earlier releases."

    Shawn Murphy & team did mention in the youtube reddit video that they had to dig out all the available sources to prepare for the Vinyl restoration which mean that he had access to the original album masters which are the John Neal mixes.
     
    By the way better quality version of ROTJ tapes do exist and some important people do have access to them (for quite some time now). Cant say more
