Still to many short cues.

I have the 2005 Intrada and really love it.
However, I've read overwhelmingly great reviews in regard to the 2015. The only negative input I've received spawned this resurrection of a long dead topic: that the 2015 wasn't exactly absolutely required because the 2005 was already so good (I've read some of the hiss and bludgeon of the latter was missing from the more recent, which is of course a good thing).
I guess I'm wondering if I should dump the 2005, save like crazy and pick up an exorbitant used copy of the 2015...or just hold onto a CD I already love, wait for another (inevitable) reissue, and instead focus on perhaps the Collector's rerecording.
Thanks again for so much help, everyone!

For me less is more with this score and the Collector's rerecording is the only version I have.
This is something I've heard from more than a few folks. Sounds like I'll grab that to complement the 2005, and wait for an eventual reissue of the 2015 (if that's ever happening, not so sure with Intrada).
In regard to that last sentence I LOVE Intrada. Period.

No idea what the 2005 edition sounds like. I'm lucky to have obtained the 2015 from Intrada. I don't have the rerecording. Having looked at Amazon UK, the asking prices for it have exploded.
I found the Collector's Choice at a very reasonable price from a good seller, now I can have both the 2005 Intrada and the CC rerecording. It'll be REALLY fun listening to those two!

It would be great to see how they each 'ping' with you. I don't know anything about the rerecording, except that JG seems to have favored concert hall echo, which introduces diminishing returns, IMO. Now, if he had used the larger orchestra on the film soundtrack with the sound capture arrangement used for the drier soundtrack . . . What if, what if, WTF!
I'm in the smaller camp of those who prefer the original film recording. I do, however, like to include the cobbled-together "Breakout" cue near the end to give the score a bigger finale. I like to think this is what would have underscored the final aerial action sequence had Goldsmith decided to give it music.
It is precisely because the Intrada contains this patched version from the soundtrack release that I'm not bothered about having the rerecording. But if I did have it, no complaints.

If you're comparing the 2005 with the 2015, The 2015 does sound a bit better, but there isn't that much of a difference, certainly not appreciable enough to spend more than regular CD price (in my opinion).
As to comparisons to the LP recording with the National Philharmonic Orchestra — they're very different beasts, and which one I prefer tends to be what mood I happen to be in. I love having both.

Watched this last night. I can't believe I missed purchasing this remaster when it came out. I even posted that I was getting it immediately after the announcement. From the previous posts it sounds like this is a definite improvement over previous releases, removing some of the hiss in the recording.
As much as I'd like this, prices of $80-$100 on Ebay and other sites are just too steep for me. I wonder if this will be reissued, or if it's too early to hope for another remastering and release.

I kinda hate to admit I prefer the soundtrack recording over the full score- I'm glad I own both but the original album plays well and the Nation Phil sounds thunderous which is great for this style of music.

Intrada recently reissued Masada, adding the unique album recording to the film recording in the same package for the first time. I wonder if they might consider similarly revisiting Capricorn One as a two disc set with both film and album recordings included in the same slimline case. This is one of those Goldsmith scores that deserves to be perpetually brought back in print.

The National Philharmonic recording is available as a hi-res download from HDTracks and Qobuz for those seeking it.
Just a small detail: It's available as a lossless CD-quality download, not as a high-res download.

I snagged this at a ragged, provincial, desultory shopping mall in the heartland of America, the Warner Bros. Records' LP. Loved it, but it wore on me quickly, with its focus on the big moments in the score.
On the other hand, the smaller, tighter film score orchestra really gets to shine in those sparse and suspenseful cues that only the original score performance has.
