Cannot wait for this! Such a fantastic score. Interesting to see this was originally a Black Friday release. I wonder did the front cover original state '40th Anniversary Edition' before it got delayed.

From MV over at FSM:

Quote

"Somewhere in Time is a stellar release, originally slated to be the star on top of our 2020 Christmas tree, but alas it wasn't approved in time for its 40th Anniversary despite all of our best efforts (you can blame Covid, melting polar ice caps, hell even Santa if you want). It will finally be out next week, meticulously produced by Mike Matessino, stellar art direction by Jim Titus and exquisite liner notes by Jon Burlingame."

 

This release will be amazing. Pity it never made the big release last year but at least we are getting it now. Can't wait!

This is an essential score. It should be in every film score fan's collection.

I should watch this film sometime. I have the DVD. The only bits of footage I've seen are the clips used in the Moviola PBS special. When is that going to be released?

 

It's interesting that Barry associated it with the death of his parents and felt those events shaped the score into what has become a fan favorite among his works.

La-La Land Records, Universal Pictures, and Geffen proudly present a Limited Edition remastered and expanded CD reissue of renowned composer John Barry’s (GOLDFINGER, OUT OF AFRICA, DANCES WITH WOLVES) original motion picture score to the beloved 1980 big screen romantic fantasy-drama SOMEWHERE IN TIME, directed by Jeannot Szwarc and starring Christopher Reeve, Jane Seymour and Christopher Plummer. Barry’s rich, gorgeous orchestral score perfectly embodies this heartfelt and heartbreaking romantic classic, enriching it with a resonating melodic and thematic timelessness that is vital to the film’s powerful sentimental allure. As the director himself states, “John’s music gave the film everything it needed. I still think it’s his most beautiful score – and one of the most beautiful scores in the history of film.”

 

Produced, mastered and edited from studio vault elements by Mike Matessino, this expanded CD is limited to 5000 units and features never-before-released score cues and additional music, including the music box arrangement of Rachmaninoff Rhapsody, Barry’s original music for Elise’s stage show, two previously unheard arrangements of the Somewhere In Time theme, and more! The exclusive, in depth liner notes are by journalist and author Jon Burlingame and the timeless art design is by Jim Titus.

Any Barry release is welcome, but I'm uncertain whether to get this or not. I finally acquired the OST recently and it seems to have the important highlights. Should I get it? @Thor?

 

No idea. It's one of the few Barry scores I own and like, so if you have the OST, you're set, as far as I'm concerned. It's beautifully curated. I don't think I've ever seen the movie.

Everything gets repetitive in expanded/C&C format, but Barry even moreso due to the often repetitive nature of his music.
