I am working on this new release from Hotrecords of the older Label X release. It offers some additional material from the composer.

Just bought the original looooooooong out of print release a couple of months ago (for a fair bit of money too ), as it was number one on my Holy Grail list...and now they rerelease it!

You have the advantage of getting Voyage of the Damned.

That's true. ...but I care little for that score.
Oh well. That's how it goes.
I ordered the extended version anyway. It's a score I love just too much to let slip by.'no passion nor excitement here, despite all the notes and musicians' ~ Falkirkbairn -

the problem that I have with the score is the mixing of material from two different sources. The 7.5 IPS tape that came from Lalo has a somewhat flattened out sound. The higher end frequency response is just not there. The way around it is to program the cd player to listen to the additional tracks as bonus material, after the original tracks.

Do you have the Legrand score too Martijn?On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

For The Three Musketeers? Yeah, but it doesn't hold a candle to Schifrin's work in my opinion.'no passion nor excitement here, despite all the notes and musicians' ~ Falkirkbairn -

Fair nuff! I think it's a better score, but Schifrin's is damn good too.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

His orchestrating is the best.

Yes Tom, but in the above sentence both Schifrin and Legrand are mentioned.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

I think it may have a lot to do with the sound quality.
I always thought the Legrand score was mixed very poorly, especially on the album (I only ever heard the LP ). Schifrin's score really has an instrumentation that seems crystal clear.
But maybe that's just my preference speaking.
I really haven't listened to Legrand's score for ages.'no passion nor excitement here, despite all the notes and musicians' ~ Falkirkbairn -

I'm afraid mine is the LP also, though there are 4 great tracks on the 4 disc Le Cinema de Michel Legrand, one of the best purchases I ever made.
I still play LP's occassionally but it does mean having to set the turntable up.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

As I stated the new release has mixed master 15IPS material with demo 7.5IPS. Not good in my opinion.
