What a wonderful disc this is. The dramatic and source music is superb. The booklet very detailed in both graphics and information. The stereo sound really brings the details of performance to the forefront. I suspect if Alfred Newman and his musical team could hear this music with this depth and clarity, they would be mightily impressed. Like so many Fox films, with its mix of source and underscore, it makes for a rewarding musical listening experience. Every track holds delightful surprises. Thanks Ray, Craig, Nick, Jon, Rudy, and Charles.

Definitely on my next mass order- can't wait!

It is my understanding that Ken Darby had a stereo tape made for Newman of this score back in the 1960s....using the same elements, I'm guessing, that went into that tape.

No, I think these must've come from the original optical stems stored at Fox. I don't have the disc, yet (I imagine that the liner notes address this), but the person to ask is obviously Ray Faiola.

Indeed Ray does go into detail in the liner notes saying that the disc was produced from dual-angle recordings preserved in the Fox vaults.

The disc and presentation is, as usual for SAE, wonderful.

Are some of the cues rechanneled stereo, because not all of the music for this film was recorded in two track.

I quite agree with John Morgan's comments. This is a wonderful Newman score. The gang at Screen Archives always do an outstanding job, you couldn't present a score & booklet any better. Please keep them coming guys, I buy them all.

The stereo recording exceeds my expectations. This is a great release and I recommend it highly. The booklet is packet with informative background on this production and is has lots of great illustrations and photos. The booklet is so thick, it's hard to get it back in the case!

Hmmmm. These threads accept new posts, but they don't seem to "appreciate" in the hierarchy of threads (i.e., don't rise to the top)


Funny, though....this one DID rise to the top.

Is this old thread week?

Is this old thread week?

In this case, we are averting a rendezvous with Thor's hammer.

To wit, someone wanted to discuss "The Razor's Edge" and Newman's score for it and Power's performance in it.

Since it's ground previously covered, new posts are generated under existing ones.

It's Thor's perfect world realized AT LAST here on FilmScore Message Board!
