Hi everyone,
Got mine today. What a fantastic score. Barry was so creative and in-tune with movies then. And of course never short of a wonderful theme or two.
I'm loving Jon Burlingame and Nick Redman's comments.
Cheers

Oh! I forgot all about this release! Thanks for reminding me! 
Is the isolated score in stereo?

It's about 45 minutes long. It's a very bitty score in that so many cues are so short. But a great score nonetheless, which seems longer than it actually is.

I just watched the movie and noticed *a lot* of very short cues. I can imagine an expanded release being a disjointed album with poor flow. So as short as the LP was, perhaps it was probably the best listening experience!

I agree but in this day and age, if the expanded score was available, it'd have to be released as the full monty. Though they are short, some of those cues are great. Arguably, many expanded scores are less satisfying "album" experiences than the shortened versions but we're in an age where people are listening to these things less as albums and more as complete score entities.
I think that the original album of Star Trek The Motion Picture is a better album programme than the expanded score, but I'd not be without my expanded Star Trek.
That said, if the album was the only thing available for licensing, it would be a great thing to bring out.
Cheers

Yes, "Mary" is a wonderful score. In fact, I dare say one of Barry's very best.
A friend recently spent some time ripping the isolated score & making notes & observations
about the music. Here they are below.
"Track 3 from the original soundtrack album, "But Not Through My Realm" consists of two separate cues; the first section is the film's "Overture" (apx 1.10) and the second section is what I have termed "Holyrood Palace" (apx 1.22).
There are three music cues used in the film that are not heard on the isolated score:
1)a short choral piece used during the lying-in-state of Mary's first husband, Francois.
2)a traditonal bagpipe tune used when Mary's half-brother, the Earl of Moray escorts her
through Holyrood Palace. However, this cue is on the original soundtrack album (it is the 2nd section of "But Not Through My Realm" track). For the sake of completeness, I have used a mono version of this cue and placed it in its chronological position within
the isolated score. For clarity reasons, I have re-titled it "Holyrood Palace"(track 13).
03)a lute played by David Rizzio. This comes immediately after the "Holyrood Palace" cue.
There is a music cue during the "Intermission" sequence on the dvd. However as this is the same exact piece of music as the "Overture" (ie. same recording) I have left it out. If you wish to re-insert it to its proper position, it should be placed between tracks 21 & 22.
track 30 "Darnley Betrayed" is merely the first .40 seconds of the previous cue (track 29 "Mary Drugs Darnley - Mary & Bothwell") repeated.
track 35 "Treachery of These Times" is also a repeated cue. It contains the last .45 seconds of the previous cue (track 34 "They’re All Around Us").

The perfect thing would be a complete release with both the film tracks and the re-issued album.
Of course, it will never happen.

Anything can happen these days. After all, we have Alien now. Get your fingers crossed.
