Fantastic! Kinda saw this one coming but glad to see it released. Excited to hear the remastered sound, but is it just me or does the cover seem a little... off? Dare I say nearly AI ish in quality? I don't expect Warm Butter would ever tread into such cheap terrain like that, but compared to the cover from the release of the first one, something about it is bothering me lol Really can't wait to listen to this though. I ordered all 3 releases.

That artwork has been a thing since FFC released his re-edit of Part III. I hate them all. The old OST covers were better.

 

Ah I see now, so WB was just using the most recent artwork from the 4k, that's not even on him so that makes more sense. I agree, the older covers were far better.

The original Godfather II LP had rather bad artwork.

Who is that? Michael? Why is he standing like that? Is that in the film?

It doesn't look like him or anyone in the film.

 

I'll still take this over the mess of a cover out currently, but I agree it deserves better.

Lake Tahoe Party Music 

Italian Eyes

Heart & Soul

Stumbleloo

Sophia

In A Paris Cafe

When I'm With You

 

Only one of these is on this new release but if you can track down a copy of the LP that was released in Italy that has the music by Carmine Coppola from Part II. It also has two of the Cuba pieces played but Tu Habanera and Guantanmera seems to be from library music and I haven't located those two pieces.   https://www.youtube.com/@brianbates9590

I just received my copy a couple hours ago, and I have had a chance to listen to the score presentation and some of the source cues on disc one. My initial impression is that La La Land again did a wonderful job with these remasters, and I cannot imagine them sounding any better. The sonics are natural, open, and have much better instrument separation than any previous version I have heard. The musical/narrative flow of the score presentation is a joy to listen to, and the source cues and additional material sound great. I can't wait to listen to the source cues on disc two. A must own for any Godfather/Rota fan. 

This has me really excited to listen! Hurry up Spidey!
