From Screen Archives entertainment. They've released a limited edition with an isolated score track. This is my favorite Sinbad score too. In their ad they are limiting it to one or two copies per customer and in their url it says three. One will do me.
I see that GVOS on BR is now selling for $90 (with free shipping!) on AmazonPrime .
The seller is "dvdstuff" but is fulfilled by Amazon. It/He seems to have unlimited copies. The Twilight Time producers must be thrilled to see their sold-out blu-ray commanding such huge prices so quickly.
I don't know if anyone has noted this but both blu-rays of THE GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINBAD and SINBAD & THE EYE OF THE TIGER(both with isolated scores) is available on a box set entitled THE FANTASTIC FILMS OF RAY HARRYHAUSEN One reviewer said that the these transfers are better than Twilight Time's.
Available through Amazon for $41, it is region A/B/C and has 7th VOYAGE & JASON & THE ARGONAUTS blu-rays too. It is an Australian release.

I have googled this and checked 3 reviews and specification overviews and not one mentions isolated scores . sorry but please check your source .
According to a thread on the Home Theater Forum, the transfers for "The Golden Voyage of Sinbad" and "Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger" are identical to the Twilight Time releases. Could you give the source of the review that thought otherwise? I'm not being contentious -- just curious as it seems unlikely that Sony would have prepared new transfers, including the isolated scores, just for Australia. The extra features on both Australian discs seem exact duplicates of the Twilight Time discs, too.
yes, Yavar you are correct - I wish that it was Webb, not Budd... the review I saw I believe was on Amazon - I thought that TGVOS looked better than the TT release, but I cant guarantee that.

Don't know anything about this edition, but I'm reminded that when the deluxe 3 DVD edition of Ben-Hur was released a few years back it was advertised as having an isolated score. However in Australia we were informed on the box (though not on any advertising copy) that copyright issues precluded the isolated score. Could this be relevant here?

pp312, perhaps that is why it isn't advertised on the box set ...
But the fact is that these two Blu-rays do have the isolated film scores and for anyone who missed TT editions and doesn't want to pay collector prices( curerently TGVOS is selling on Amazon at $129.95 and SATEOTT is at $53.99) , you can buy this box set for FOUR blu-rays of Harryhausen classics for only $41. That's a great deal.
