Surely some of you have received the CD by now and are spinning it like crazy, yes?
Yes, last Saturday actually. Listened to it all weekend, the sound quality is amazing. Best release of the year so far.

Track 24-"Expected Guest"?? Has anyone else noticed that the end of "Expected Guest" is not the same as in the movie? It should close with the bell and strings (exactly the same as last 15 seconds of "No Note"-track 9) as Ms. Spool ascends the stairs to Bates' house and knocks on door.
Every other track is note perfect.
OTHERWISE, I am thrilled with this cd after waiting decades for a full score. This is a big title no longer on my slowly diminishing grail list. The clarity is stunning. I'm hearing instruments I've never heard in this score on video or the Varese release. "It's not your mother" gave me chills when the brass and strings began building.

I love that moment, when Robert Loggia leaves Norman in the cellar, reassuring him about things and Norman pulls that quizzical face and says something like 'that would be very reassuring' and Goldsmith ends the cue with a lovely raised note of warmth.
I also noticed, during the bit when Norman is locked in the room with Mary, cos he's worried what Mother will do, how Goldsmith's music is badly synched to the scene, so when Norman reacts to Mary trying to leave, the music is mis-timed with the action ever so slightly.
I always admire the way, in John Williams scores, that hardly ever happens. He usually catches every bump to the second.

One word: FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC!
As an acknowledged, world-class pedant, I will pointlessly insist that this is THREE words, not one!

This hasn't been far from the rotation over the past few days since I received it.
This score is a bit like Outland, in that I was looking forward to the expansion because I enjoyed those scores, but I didn't know how much I would like the complete version until I heard it.

I just got my copy today and absolutely love it! This is one of my favorite scores and I'm so glad it's finally complete on CD.
However, I did want to ask about one thing, because I want to make sure I didn't get a faulty copy or something – I noticed some audio glitches on several tracks. For example, there's one around the 13-14 second mark on track 1, "The Murder", and another one around 8-9 seconds on track 2, "Main Title". Does anyone else have this on their copies – perhaps it's a deterioration of the original master tapes – or is it just me?
I too heard that glitch in "The Murder", which as you suggest sounds like deterioration. Very minor, but it's not present on the LP or the Varese CD. Relax it's not just you.
Everything about this, the presentation, package, and most importantly the score is just beautiful. Which is a word I would never have thought I would associate with anything Psycho!
