The Polydor CD is basically the original John Neal mixes for the album issue sources from Eric Tomlinson's tapes.

I only bought it for the sake of John Neil Mixes. The choir in Map Room:Tanis sounds really upfront than the one on the DCC. But the Concorde edition is a mixed bag with Shawn Murphy on the controls but he is using Neals mixes as well as Tomlinson. Schilkeman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Australia all Indy 4 CDs were sold in jewel cases through general music retailers (JB HiFi, Sanity, etc) over the counter. I bought mine at JB HiFi. But this was before the Concord Box was a thing. After the Concord Box came out all the scores were also re-issued for individual sale through the retailers, but they were all sold as digipaks. Any remaining stock of Indy 4s still in jewel cases were either recalled and replaced, or re-stocked, by digipaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens once in a rare while. I prefer the Arista box STAR WARSes over the originals too. In this case, the score was "rich enough", thematically and setpiecey, to warrant an expansion. Few of the previously unreleased cues feel like mere filler, and while I'm not 100% sure the whole thing is in chronological order (I think it is), the album has a concept-like quality about it nonetheless.

Jay 37,374 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 If these tracks lists are correct, there's no reason to think these are anything other than an identical 1:1 repressing of the 2008 discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmilson 7,473 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 The Concord set is not perfect, but it's still better than just throwing the decades-old OSTs on streaming services, like what happened with SW. Sure, the ideal would be a definitive presentation produced by MM, but since those will only happen in the distant future (probably only after what is left of mankind goes to a space station in order to move to a new planet, like the finale of Interstellar) I'll take what I get.

I was just looking at the individual Concord releases on Amazon like a month ago… Pretty sure it was this exact same TOD page. Scroll down and look at the year in the product details section: 2008. And the description says it’s the 2008 version, too. Also plenty of user reviews on that page already, because it’s an existing album page. And lastly, notice that it’s not actually listed as being sold by Amazon; it’s shipped by Amazon, but it’s sold by third-party sellers. For an official new release, it would say both Shipped and Sold by Amazon.com. Unfortunately, this doesn’t seem to be anything new. Amer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
