Originals -- always!

I'm surprised at the number of people who are saying originals 100% of the time. I thought many people preferred the album recordings at least some of the time, whether it be Capricorn One, Patton, the Flints, or Masada (even though the album recording is superb, I was frankly surprised at the number of people in the past who preferred it to the complete original recording). Is it possible people are just referring to the later re-recordings Goldsmith conducted for Intrada and Varese? That I could understand a lot more, because I disliked all of his Varese ones and only really liked Rio Conchos from Intrada...I guess even with that title I can understand people preferring the original, especially now that Michael Mattesino has so thoroughly improved its sound.

Love the OS, but like the RR if that is the only thing available. Do not like any attempt to duplicate the OS with the use of electronics.

I've always thought Jerry Goldsmith is the toughest composer for re-recordings. Presumably, this is a matter of an unique musical style, so great, that is difficult to recreate conventionally, unlike with other composers. Except for some recent Raine/Fitzpatrick achievements, I believe nobody has been able to recreate the exact ambiance, crisp detail, perfect nuance and steady as clock rhythm of an original Goldsmith session. I can mention that early compilation called "The Essential Jerry Goldsmith Film Music Collection", and those most recent BSX synth/sampler albums, as examples of the damage a re-recording can do to the original work. Just my subjective opinion, of course...

Yes, but when some person (non-score geek/average Joe) remembers liking the music to a movie and goes onto a website like Amazon to find it and this is one of the titles to come up at a cheap price they buy it, not knowing that they just bought elevator/department store music.
