"Product Description
Perseverance Records is proud to announce the reissue of the soundtrack to the Michael Mann thriller, Thief.
The first 50 CDs will signed by Chris Franke and Craig Safan.
Thief was Michael Mann’s directorial debut. The film featured James Caan as a professional safecracker who agrees to do a job for the mafia. Many consider this film to be James Caan’s best role to date. Also starring Tuesday Weld, James Belushi, Willie Nelson, Dennis Farina and a number of professional thieves as well as police in supporting roles, the film is now a classic of the 1980s.
Scored by Tangerine Dream, it has become one of their signature film scores. Multiple versions of the score have been released over the years. Our release contains both Confrontation and Beach Scene, depending on what previous version of the LP or CD was sold, either of which were left off of previous reissues. In our opinion, this is one of the best electronic scores of the 1980s, and we are happy to bring it back with a limited edition run of 4,000 units. Many missed out on the last reissue, so we are happy to be offering this with the proper track list.
Release Notes:
Terrific masters provided by Warner Music.
Extensive liner notes by James Anthony Phillips.
9 track release that includes both Beach Scene and Confrontation. This corrects the errors on previous releases where both tracks were never on the same release. Usually it was a release with Confrontation and no Beach Scene or vice versa. Wounded Bird even had issues where the CD was pressed with a different version of the album (either Beach Scene was included or there was a version with Igneous missing).
Only 4,000 copies will be manufactured. We will not make any more after we reach that total.
We used the original Elektra LP cover art. We added an additional music credit for Craig Safan’s track, Confrontation.
As we always state—our deal for this album lasts for a specific period of years. With the market shifting dramatically to digital, it is highly doubtful another label would reissue this recording. Grab it while you can.
Track Listing:
1. Beach Theme 3:46
2. Dr. Destructo 3:19
3. Diamond Diary 10:50
4. Burning Bar 3:12
5. Beach Scene 6:52
6. Scrap Yard 4:39
7. Trap Feeling 2:59
8. Igneous 4:46
9. Confrontation 5:44"
Can anyone comment on the sound quality and if it's improved at all? I'm very close to double dipping on this.

The sound quality is wonderful and is a worthy addition to any one's collection. I expect to have my copy next week. Just give Robin a call on Monday.

@LeHah: I've been a non-member lurker off and on for quite some time here. Everyone has a first post, unfortunately mine had to be about a defective release.
@mikewp: I didn't need headphones to hear the errors—especially the "Diamond Diary" one! If it wasn't glaring for you, well, YMMV
I also note that my Inspector Javert is trolling this board—remember folks; don't feed trolls.
And now for an update, (dis)courtesy of Robin at Perseverance:
>Dear xxxxxxxxxx,

>Do you actually hear all this, or are you just copying what someone else posted on the Internet?

>President & CEO
>Perseverance Records
My edited reply: His response is curious, as there is now more than one person who has confirmed that the errors are there — and I must assume that he hasn't bothered to listen to the CD to confirm this for himself before he decided to cast aspersions. This kind of customer service is pathetic, and will be shared on every forum that I am a member of as an example of what not to do when one's product is defective.
None of these issues are present on any of the other releases of Thief, including the Virgin Definitive Edition CD. So one wonders about the "master" used for this release.

True, I don't hear these on the Virgin 1995 remaster.
Robin's reply is a bit surprising to say the least. Guess I can kiss my $14 goodbye on this one - what that being his initial reply I seriously doubt it'll be corrected or acknowledged.
To be honest, I may not have heard these glitches without them being pointed out ( and this ONLY means I don't have the ears or sharp attention to details like this that some may have ) but now I can't stop hearing them 
And, it doesn't matter if they are small issues or large ones... that reply from the label is kinda off-putting to say the least.
