More like - what's on it? Are they original recordings (there's one bootleg of BTTF that has synth versions :sigh:) - what's the sound quality like on this one?

No it's the cues from the film and if it's the one I have the sound is poor. Many years ago someone sent me files of the score so I can't tell you for sure if that's the same version or not.

I have it ...the sound isn't too bad for my boot. The only thing I hate is that it doesn't have the true 85' Lone Pine Mall cue on there. I don't know why they didn't include it on there....

By the way it's too bad that Varesé hasn't given Back To The Future Part I a full remastered release yet. This score definitely deserves it. Hell I wish they would release all 3 scores complete and remastered. I know they would sell well and I'd definitely buy them in a heart beat. They're one of my favorite scores from Silvestri.

The problem is that it is not up to varese to release it. Someone will have to buy the rights of the music from MCA who issued the original soundtrack release. It is very unlikely that they will give away the rights for one of the best selling soundtracks. The re-use fees of this recording are horrendous due to the large orchestra that was used (at the time the largest ensemble ever used for a universal pictures score).

There was a petition for a BTTF score release some time ago but it simply went away and i remember that only a little less than 300 people signed. Sadly, no good signs for a score release.

The delorean bootleg that is described on soundtrack.net is actually very poor. The cues are not in the correct film order and there is a terrible noise distortion whenever the brass reaches higher volume which is especially terrible on the skateboard chase cue.

It was also released with a cover similar to the LP. I assume it's the same one. The track titles are the same though the sound isn't that bad.

I am sorry but that is not correct. The new deal with the musicians union applies only to scores recorded after august 2005. Everything that came before does not benefit from lower fees if the CD is limited to 14,999 copies.
