Are the missing LP tracks from Q included? Was the Q LP the original soundtrack or re-recording?
The song is there (last track on Kronos). If the music from the LPs "Chicken Or The Egg" is somewhere in the bonus material, I'll see when the CD arrives. Both LP and CD contained the film recording. It's the "original soundtrack".
The correct tracklisting of the CD (both CAM and Kronos) should be...
... 16. Ritual In The Warehouse (1:53) 17. Witch Way He Go? (2:25) 18. Big Birds Last Stand (3:49) 19. Witchdoctor's Revenge (2:17) 20. Another Stab At It (1:09) 21. Q - Main Title (1:42) 22. Dancing Too Close To The Flame (2:39) ...
Surprising to see Q: The Winged Serpent is still available, considering there are only 300 copies and considering how long it's been in SAE's top-seller list. I'd have thought these would all be spoken for by now...
Being a top seller doesnt tell you what quantity of anything is being sold on SAE, but I did get an auto-email from KRONOS on Aug. 6 that there were under 100 copies of "Q" available.
I've received my Kronos-CD of Q today. To solve the question whether the final track of the LP is on the CD or not: well, not really. The track "Good Old Fashioned Monster" contains the music as heard at the end of the film. But taken here directly from the film. In rather bad mono quality (compared to everything else on the new CD). Even with slight sound effects. And where this cue on the LP makes a big final statement of the main theme, in the film (and on the Kronos-CD) it has a really bad edit into a deep rumbling sound effect.
It's rather sad that Godwin was not allowed to fix the scrambled track listing of the former CAM-CD and could not include the final track directly from the original Cerberus-LP.
Maybe the movie sound was better than his LP copy?
Certainly not. From my point of view there was not much knowledge about the original Cerberus-LP. Even John Mansell writes in the liner notes of the Kronos-CD, that the CAM-CD added an additional cue compared to the LP. This is not true. The CAM-CD had two tracks not on the LP, omitted two tracks from the LP and duplicated the "Main Title". Hence "one additional track".
The winged one landed this weekend, and I'm trying to decipher what's what. It's still available at SAE also. Loved this film since childhood but dont know if the cues being 'one-off' will detract from my listening. Is there anything still missing, I guess is what I'm on about! Except Moriarty's howling scat nonsense...that my family always made fun of when I played the film twice a week...
