Yes, the most recent Intrada version of Rambo III sounds much, much better than the earlier Intrada edition. There is no ambiguity, I'm not sure how the OP couldn't tell the difference.

For those who don't own it at all, it's more than fanatics.

It should also go without saying a new version of something already covered, doesn't make the buyer a fanatic, but nobody addressed that.

I think most of us would say we are "fans" of film and tv music. "Fan" comes from "fanatic" - we should be proud of the name - I for one have no trouble being called a film score fanatic, and own the previous releases of Rambo III from Intrada.
I personally prefer "completist" - which though also can be defined as pejorative (just search google) is the accurate word for it. Or as Doug says Jerry said, people who want "every bloody note." I am not really a completist, particularly not in this case, since I am fine with the 2005 release.

Jeez, Schiffy, now you're being argumentative with someone coming to your defense. 
I believe that when it comes to a category like collectors, the meaning of "fanatic" has ameliorated and lost a lot of its heat, except for those ready to be sensitive about it. Certainly I don't think Doug meant to convey "excessive and single-minded zeal" in his use of the term, more just the most "fanatical" fans like himself - which is in this sense a good thing, not a bad thing.
The important thing is to keep clear the difference between fan or fanatic as aficionado vs. fanatical devotion to a cause. As always, context is everything.
