ChuckM 1 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I decided that it's about time I buy hard copies of the Harry Potter soundtracks, but I notice that Amazon.com has both US and UK editions available. The UK would cost a buck or two extra, but include bonus material (although not new music as far as I can tell). If nothing else, I would definately prefer to have the UK version for The Philosopher's Stone just so it has the correct title (still can't figure out why on earth they changed it for the US). But I'm not sure what else is included for the others.Anyone have both who can explain exactly what's on the bonus content and if it's worth it?

King Mark 2,924 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 The Canadian version was the 2 c.d. Philosopher's Stone (which is the REAL title by the way) .I've never even put c.d. 2 in the c.d. player or whatever your supposed to do with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,391 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 If nothing else, I would definately prefer to have the UK version for The Philosopher's Stone just so it has the correct title (still can't figure out why on earth they changed it for the US).The honest truth isn't necessarily very comfortable: American children weren't deemed intelligent enough to understand the word 'philosopher'...I remember it being an issue at the time, here in the UK.

John Crichton 4 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 The music's the same on both, whatever the extras are it's not unreleased cues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
