The finale of "The Trio" on the GDM release makes it worth owning.
|

an expanded final track: "The Trio" - 5:02 on Capitol, 7:14 on GDM.
Handstand,
Technically 'the expanded trio' is a bit of misnomer.The film version isn't any longer than the original album version.What we really have is-the 3rd part of the trio(on the expanded release) is actually the 2nd part of the film version.The 2nd part of the album version is,er,just that an album version.I always remember those amplified sounds and the lack of the celesta/pocket watch effect was always a bit of a bind.

As with all of the additional cues, the extension on The Trio track is mono. It's a little disconcerting to hear the stereo soundstage suddenly collapse to mono, but the additional music is welcome. Too bad that the Italian studios never bothered preserving this material in stereo.

P.S. My final comment: the Capitol cd sounds better.

Mine's the GDM edition, which I was very happy about. The expansion even improves the other tracks other than the Main Title, Ecstacy.. and The Trio which I used to find dull. The varied reprises of the theme really help pepper the score with familiar moments that for some reason for me enhances the whole thing.
And the expansion of the final track is the icing on the cake. Ok, it IS a tiny bit jarring that the added film version of the second half is in mono, but this is more than made up for in the fact that it's addition works so well as a third 'verse'. Personally I'm very pleased they did this instead of doing the film version of The Trio as an extra.
My first ever introduction to the music of this amazing film was the single of the Hugo Montenegro pop cover, on it's release long before I was old enough to see GBU. What a travesty!, even if it did mean a hit, more exposure and extra revenue presumably for the composer.
I also bought an Italian copy of the LP before the age of cds, with the song in Italian.

Hi guys, I own the EMI one (with the white cover) and wanted to know if it's worthy to expand to GDM's one. I would really do it more for a improvement on sound instead of having more stuff.
Maybe a new release may come soon? Thanks!
My favourite version of this score is the Rambling RBCP2814 Japanese release, which should still be available from Ark Square.
Not only does it contain the Italian version of the score, which includes the extended Trio and the film version of Story of a Soldier, you also get the eight stereo tracks from For a Few Dollars More as a bonus.
All in all a very nice package.

There is also - since this thread started - a non morricone version of Everything now.
Doesnt do it for me but it has its fans on here.
Gdm is a pretty good version.
And if you can find Patrick Ehresmann's quotes about the expansion, you get a bit of understanding about how they had to glue stuff together to get it past morricone and that what they put out was the best possible under the constraints.
Just makes you appreciate it that little bit more.
