Popular Post Tom Guernsey 2,284 Posted November 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2021 As I’ve said several times, given the budget and resources our specialist labels have to work on these albums and how brilliant that work is, it’s a miracle that most issues are minor quibbles or if more than that, usually fixed at their own cost. See Disney legacy collection to see how a company with virtually limitless resources can release albums with serious issues and not make any concessions to fix or rectify them.

I’ve bought it because Hunchback is an amazing score but I’m glad there are Some expert unofficial fixes for most of the errors on this release. Given how good even free audio editing software these days, it’s unforgivable really. It’s not like these are defects in the source tapes that are just beyond salvation. Anyway, I digress. Loving the Eiger Sanction. I don’t think I’d ever really appreciated the score that much previously as the original album misses off some of the more interesting material and, yeah, the sound quality was pretty poor so the sonic improvement is pretty much night and day. And as for the cover. I have it in iTunes and there are some mighty talented custom cover artists out there… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I'm waiting for someone to open a booklet, find a 'John Williams' credit where the font has insufficent contrast with the background, and publicly shame the label into repressing it. Although given some of the comments I read about the Wild Wild West DE cover over at FSM, it's defnitely not limited to 'big' stuff. That was some of the most hilariously entitled shit I've ever read. It's also why whoever eventually does Star Wars doesn't have a hope in hell.

danbeck 123 Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 On the sequencing of the OST recording, on my iTunes rip, I decided to place track 18 "Hemlock Leads The Climb (3:08)" as "track 10", after "Theme From The Eiger Sanction (Hemlock And Jemima)" and before "George Sets The Pace". So my album program has now 14 tracks. I think this is the best place to include it as it gives more room between the George training material that is simmilar. Tracks 17 and 19 I kept as extras at the end of the film score program, as they seem like alternate options Williams recorded to the album tracks 09 and 06.

I think you're oversimplifying a creative issue. Two things I notice comparing the original cover to the new one are that the falling guy on the right is a lot bigger and clearer, and that Eastwood's ice axe is placed cleanly between the two words of the title. Exactly what creative decisions were behind this placement, only the Intrada guys can tell us, but those are just two possible reasons why someone might have decided to zoom in on the original image, and perhaps didn't think that seeing his entire foot was particularly important. You're taking creative decisions that you don't necessarily agree with, and just filing them under 'incompetence' every time, without knowing the full context of why they chose to do it that way. The fact that they altered it for future pressings shows they're listening to subsequent feedback and acting on it, which is good. 1977 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,687 Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Yeah, they got feedback on a creative decision. That's not incompetence. I'm really tired of hearing that word in this context when you don't know what they were aiming to do. I mean, 'incompetence' for the Sleepy Hollow release turned out to be them doing their best to decode a half-documented, chaotic scoring process. But you leapt immediately to caling them unprofessional on their own forum, before allowing them to explain what they had to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HunterTech 993 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I'm getting the impression they would have to go through another batch before they can properly switch out the booklets, since I was able to get it by requesting it for my next order (The River). I didn't fully remember the post, because I was pretty surprised by how different the main font ended up being. Certainly matches the previous releases better, which makes it all the more unfortunate there isn't a clean digital copy. Here are the scans I made, which I'm sure someone here can do something with: 1977 and Chewy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
