There has never been a real academy promo CD of the score, only promotional tapes and they did not include any songs. That and the poor sound quality of this CD make it a fake. The sound quality is as poor as on the complete bootleg of dutch or the luxor ride and even the delorean bootleg has better sound.

I've listened to this one and I agree with BigMacGyver that the sound quality is a lot poorer than the old Delorean bootleg. Who ever "remastered" the actual score cues did way to much hiss removal and you can barely hear the music most of the time. It's quite unnerving that someone had the guts to call this an "Academy Promo" which is false advertizement I guess.

I really wish Varesé or some other company releases the real full score completely remastered. It deserves a much needed and long over due release. I know that there was supposed to be a remastered isolated score with commentary from Alan Silvestri for the first BTTF movie when the Trilogy was being released on DVD but I guess was supposedly dropped at the last minute. That pissed me off as well as alot of fans from what I read.

And I wish they'd stop doing that damned "limited edition" thing. I think I was asleep for the entire time Top Secret! was available. LOL (That was the one that sold out in ten hours, right?)

The funny thing about Top Secret was that I sat there listening to the sound clips and thought: This is like a golden age score on steroids and if it would be an FSM release it would be around for years. The music itself simply left me icy cold for some reason. Of course the varese CD sold out but the speed was amazing. The 1000 unit run must be a psychological mark where everyone jumps at the release without thinking which is sad for those poor bastards who have to work all day and come home only to find out their most wanted score was just released and already sold out.
