Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I have neither. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robthehand 3 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 As far as JAws goes, the original album beats them all. The re-recording is a mixed bag for me, good in places, bad in places, and the restoration is very complete, but doesn't work for me as a listening experience, even when sequenced into film order.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I prefer the 25th Anniversary Collector's Edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,237 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Jaws (2000 Rerecording of 1975 Film Score) [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED] [sOUNDTRACK]Huh? Are you talking about the McNeely rerec, as your parantheses and cover scan suggest, or about the remastered original recording mentioned by your brackets? :?

Ollie 1,061 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Personally I would stay away from the Varese recording. While it sounds good the performances are poor and lack the punch provided on the other two albums. The shark theme has no life to it and sounds like the same cue played over and over again.The original album and the 25th Anniversary CD are the two to have. The expanded CD does have some sound problems but it is a great listen. One of the things I love about Jaws was that the shark theme is orchestrated differently each time it's played and it was nice to hear the actual cues used in the film. The original album is a great companion piece as Williams re-recorded and expanded upon the cues selected. Some of the improvements are "Tourists On The Menu" and the concert version of the main theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurgaFlippinMan 7 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I suppose a mix of the original and the remastered Anniversary CE would be ideal. Never heard the rerecording though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romão 2,274 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 The original album is hard to beat as a listening experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,799 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 shouldnt this be 25th edition vs McNeelys re-recording?complete score against complete score?Now it is a different matter if you prefer the album version or the film score.

Red 75 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 This would be a lot easier if I owned any version of Jaws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingPin 201 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I haven't heard the McNeely recording, but I actually prefer the original release over the 25th Anniversary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McClane 1 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I have both. I always go for the original versions over the re-recordings, but the McNeely one is very good. SO I vote Option #1.And I too prefer the 25th Anniversary Edition over the OST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMacGyver 0 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I don't have the re-recording and never thought about buying it because I already own the original release and the Collector's edition.Both, OST and Collector's Edition, provide such a different listening experience it's a difference like between day and night. For a long time, the OST was the only thing I had and I was shocked when I heard the Collector's edition because it is just so different. I also think that they did a little bit too much of digital tricks because it sounds too thin and some stuff is volumed down way too much. I always find myself fiddling on the volume regulation of my Hi-Fi while listening to this CD. But I got used to the sound pretty qickly and both CDs make good companion pieces. I always listen to them in a row, so I have no particular favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRuleOfThirds 0 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 25th Anniv. The rerecording of Ben Gardner's Boat by Williams for the first release w/ the movie is unlistenable b/c of that electronic noise used when the head appears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
