Wrong thread, but...

Nonetheless, what's the general assessment on the improvement in sound from the first La-La Land Records release to the John Williams Disaster Movie Soundtrack Collection edition?


Well I agree with Neil Bulk's statement on a podcast I listened to that he believes that this score was never really meant to be mixed in stereo. Its very conjested and hollow, and the sound quality of the film itself isn't much better even in 4-track. But does it sound better than the older cd? Yeah. At least when it comes to the end title.

Just happy that we can purchase this score again. Missed it the first time around. Any improvements are just icing.

Where can I get access to that podcast?

CORRECTION: It was Michael Matessino on the podcast. Sorry Mike.

I take it from Maurizio Caschetto's podcast on Monsignor/Minority Report/Disaster Movie Collection that the Poseidon transfer is the same as the 2010 La-La Land edition, remastered using 2019's suite of audio tools.

Superb clean-up on this title in the John Williams Disaster Movie Collection.

All the clarity on the horns and the Wagnerian strings really brings out the heraldic/adventure feel.

Thanks for the extra work on this, Mike Matessino!
