I'm looking for the second Southern Cross release of Krull.
How much would I have to pay or trade for something like that?

To my knowledge, there were three different releases by Southern Cross: the first, which had 8 tracks and a running time of 44:52 min., a limited edition "gold" pressing of 750 hand-numbered copies (SCSE CD-4, 18 tracks, 01:18:51 min.), and a "silver" pressing limited to 2,000 hand-numbered copies (with the same catalog number and running time as the gold pressing).

Both the "gold" and "silver" editions can occassionally be found on ebay, with a going rate of approx. $70-$100 (sometimes more, sometimes less...ebay is a fickle beast).

Also, though you probably already know this, the 2-CD Super Tracks release, which is 14 minutes longer than the expanded Southern Cross releases, is still available through SAE for $39.99:

Yeah I've considered the Super Tracks release but...well I always find 2CD sets a hassle, I'd rather be responsible for just one disc. Especially if it already has all the essential stuff on it.

Though...I suspect that 2CD set will eventually go out of print and the value with sky rocket, and I'd wish I had gotten it anyway! LOL :-D

Can anyone tell me how the longer SCSE Krull release stacks up to the more recent La-La Land release in terms of transfer and sound quality?

I'm sure La-La Land's set has to sound better; but is it enough of an improvement to seek after in the secondhand market? I have my doubts. The sound quality on this score recording is, shall we say, somewhat "anachronistic".

I doubt a newer transfer has improved it that much.

Am I wrong?

The SuperTracks release had more "wow" and punch to the mastering.

LaLaLand was more "dry" but you could hear more subtleties in the performance.
