I know the concept of expanded scores only since I joined this forum in 2013. And yet, it took me few years before really joining the "club" and order my first expanded score CD! These releases made by specialized labels are really for a small circle of initiated people. If you are not on a forum about film music, you can't really know what's happening. Now any hints about Heidi, Midway, How To Steal a Million/Bachelor Flat or The Poseidon Adventure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I let it down definitely, their way of calcultaing postal fees for Canada simply don't work. I'm really not ready to pay 75 $CAN for a CD. And we are going to say the real things... we already have everything on our harddrive... We can find everything we want on internet... But when CDs are reissued by the specialized labels, we pay to get them. At least, - I - pay for them. So please, just reissue them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,497 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Bes, could you please post an image of your CE3K CD? I don't recognize either the number, or the spine lettering font. I can make-out the word "fidelity" (Mo Fi?). It doesn't look like the Arista, and it certainty doesn't look like the Varèse. Hey...it's not a naughty boot, is it?

Bespin 8,479 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 At the risk of repeating myself, one of the great things of having ALL the albums of John Williams in ONE single page in my disco, is that you can search by year. I try to list each reissues, digital or LP too, Searching "2015" or "2016" by example, will allow you to know if you missed a thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 I pre-ordered Sherlock: Series 4, mostly to get that nifty exclusive Abominable Bride CD. I decided to splurge and pick up physical copies of Series 1, 2 and 3 as well so I'd get a nice bundle of Sherlock scores in the post next month. To my surprise, the first three albums have already shipped and are on their way here. Hurray! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo 3,709 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I've been listening to the three scores as I ordered them around the same time as the season 4 CD set. Season 2 Episode 1 has some great cues. Irene's theme is excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it needs the same speed adjustment for the whole CD? Well, if it's less than a semi tone... I digitally restore LPs each week... adjusting each time the pitch by ear using a keyboard... but, between us, the pitch of analog recordings... it's a so modern concern!

Jay 37,287 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Thanks to another tip from @BloodBoal, this week I received in the mail another one of the few JW OSTs I didn't own yet: The 1995 Columbia / Legacy edition of The Reivers: I didn't realize until I got it, that it's actually technically an expanded release! It contains one extra track the LP doesn't, and actually includes the reel/part numbers in the booklet! Bespin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,497 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 No. There's some music at the beginning of the film, that underscores the arrival of the Winton Flyer, at a railroad station.

If you compare the new releases (there are thousands of them by now) sound a bit fuller and not as thin-nish as the old Fox records one and the tracks run probably 3 or 4 seconds longer depending on their length. 'Main Title' is like 2 minutes on the old release and 2'05 on the new one. I found the effect jarring enough to ditch the old album at some point even if i saw no reason for the upgrade length-wise.

Matt C 452 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire - Joel McNeely Even with the same ensemble and engineers, it doesn't sound as vibrant as Varese's "Hollywood '95" recording a year earlier. The CD overall is pretty solid, though, with some nice liner notes. I'm almost tempted to buy the novel as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
