I found this on amazon for one cent, 2.50 with shipping, I thought this was worth alot or the guy just wanted to get rid of it, anyway I hopped on it. thoughts?
However, there are TWO versions of this disc. One of them features Rosenman's music, and the other features Charelton Heston's narration over Rosenman's music. Hopefully, you got the music-only one.
Well I actually have it already, I have the one without the naration but Im listening to it now to be sure. Naration doesnt bother me like it does some on this board, if its the one with then Ill have both eather way , 1 cent Im not out much. If I see scores I already have that I think are worth something on ebay or amazon for real cheep or in the cd store Ill get it again. I usually dont sell them I keep them for a just in case senario. Thanks for your input. sd
This is weird. I just received this CD and instead of 22 cues listed on the back it features only one looooong cue with TT: 32:59.
Pretty annoying not to be able to get to the individual cues and especially have 20 minutes less than the disc should include. The weird thing is that prior buying this score I've heard it and don't remember any narration - the version I've heard before included those 22 tracks with TT approx 53:18.
Is this normal or my new CD is just weird and a faulty disc or there are three versions:
- original score with 53 minutes - narration disc - and this one described above with 20 minutes of music missing? :-/

I believe you, sir, are the proud owner of a bootleg.

Well that is "interesting" as I have the same situation: only one long track, and I got this CD from...... SAE! Does this mean that I should contact SAE and send the CD back? TIA.
A friend of mine had a copy of this album that came straight from the publisher/manufacturer - and it had the problem that Lokutus writes about. My assumption then, is that a bad batch of CDs was pressed and unwittingly released. Your best hope is to write back to the vendor you bought from, and see if some kind of return deal can't be worked out.
It's a fantastic score in its entirety (or entirety on the album) - Rosenman integrates classical music into his own work quite naturally and effortlessly, and it's a grand tapestry of music.
However, there are TWO versions of this disc. One of them features Rosenman's music, and the other features Charelton Heston's narration over Rosenman's music. Hopefully, you got the music-only one.
I know this has been asked before, but how can you tell which version on CD is score only? I understood the version WITH narration has fewer tracks. I had an audio cassette tape that was like that.
I know the score-only version has 22 tracks and runs a little over 53 minutes. Does the version with narration run 22 tracks on CD?
The reason I'm asking is I have a sealed CD (22 tracks) I'm selling and I would prefer to not have to open it to confirm this, but I would like to be absolutely sure.
My music-only disc says "Music Soundtrack Album" on both spines. AUD-803.
The CD I have just lists this on the spine, "Charlton Heston Presents The Bible, Music Soundtrack Album." It doesn't list AUD-803.

My one definitely has AUD-803 on the spines. What number does yours have, wherever it appears?
Mine is the original 1993 version. The later re-release (presumably with a different number) is the shorter, one-track version, I believe. I don't know if the later one had the older track list on the back , but it had only one track on the CD. The 1993 release is the full version.
Thanks for that. This clarifies things for the future if I should run across this again.
Looks like this is the useless reissue (1993/2004) with the one long track;
"This Edition (08-02663) contains only 1 track, with less music than the one with 22 separate tracks. On the back of the album is printed the same back as the 22 track edition. The only way to know that is to read the label number."
