I have three questions, concerning the Omen scores (one for each score):
1. At jerrygoldsmithonline the announcement of The Omen 40th Anniversary Edition includes this sentence: "Sadly the synth Dog element and the whispering voice cues remain AWOL and Varese have annoyingly not included the coda to the Alter cue, which was on the isolated track on the old LD and later Blu-Rays - so could have been included." - What is this "coda to the Alter cue" and why was it left off the newest edition?
2. The Deluxe Edition of Damien: Omen II sounds either sublime or catastrophical - Is this due to the damaged sources of some cues?
3. What exactly is still missing from The Final Conflict?

!. The Altar was an unused cue that was paired with the Main Title on the original album, but in doing so lost a few seconds off the end, nothing very drastic.
2. Yes, the original session tapes to Omen II had some unrepairable damage. Although the album sessions are fine. The two sessions were quite different.
3. Four cues are unreleased from The Final Conflict, they're very short, totaling about 3 minutes. They're great stuff, though!
