What's the story behind the big orchestral convulsion at the end of the last track?
You mean the drum roll and stage thunder effect? That's a piece of source music played by Peter MacNicol to accompany Ralph Richardson's entrance early in the film.

What is an "LCR"? Likable crusty recording?
No, Little Creepy Retards.

Anyone who can see Dragonslayer on Amazon Prime streaming should do so. It's darned close to Ultra Hi-Def quality, especially the sound.
Now about the Dragonslayer score CD re-issue from La-La Land Records on 8 June 2021. Is it a remaster? Are the tracks broken out (licensing) from the last release? Has the inlay or booklet been updated from the previous release? This score deserves all those upgrades.

I can tell from the announcement page that the graphics have been tightened up on the Dragonslayer booklet.

Really pulling for a full remaster on the new issue of Dragonslayer on June 8.
Considering how good the Amazon stream sound was, maybe all the sound elements got restored/remixed/remastered. Here's hoping.
But I'll just take a straight reissue with a graphics update, too.

DRAGONSLAYER: 40th ANNIVERSARY LIMITED EDITION
LLLCD 1564
Music by Alex North
Limited Edition of 2000 Units
RETAIL PRICE: $21.98
STARTS SHIPPING JUNE 8
La-La Land Records and Paramount Pictures Present a limited edition CD re-issue of renowned composer Alex North’s (SPARTACUS, A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE, CLEOPATRA, BITE THE BULLET, PRIZZI’S HONOR) score to the 1981 Paramount Pictures and Walt Disney Productions feature film DRAGONSLAYER, starring Peter MacNicol and Caitlin Clarke and directed by Matthew Robbins. Previously out of print, our acclaimed DRAGONSLAYER album returns to commemorate the beloved film’s 40th Anniversary. North’s masterful orchestral score harnesses all the pathos, danger and heart swelling within this beloved fantasy epic, which continues to build a devoted following decades since its original release. Produced by Dan Goldwasser and remastered by Mike Matessino from a 3-track LCR master recording, this expanded limited edition release of 2000 units, which features the same content and master as our 2010 release, presents the correctly-titled cues in film order and includes Bonus Tracks.

If this is starting to ship today, why is there no mention of the release at Screen Archives Entertainment? They're usually on top of all new releases. I don't get it.

Is DRAGONSLAYER worth it if I've never seen the movie?
Listening to the clips, the music sounds like a pseudo-film-score version of Prokofiev Alexander Nevsky classical music.
There's that other thread around about film scores that don't match the film - is it even a match for the film?
