Wonderful news from Chelsea Rialto Studios on the BYU label.. Now in preparation : Since You Went Away a 2CD Box with a deluxe souvenir booklet. Produced from an outstanding set of acetates from Max Steiner at Brigham Young University.
There's this thing going around here that all that music Max wrote isn't necessary when a good thirty minutes or so of the highlights are best when re-sequenced to make playback more enjoyable. And mono sucks.

I've read that. And to all of them who say such things, I say: "THRBRTZZZZ!"

I must admit to some disappointment in the sample clip that is posted on the Chelsea Rialto website. Quite a few clicks and pops in my opinion, for such an "outstanding set of acetates."
Bob - thank you. This was a file conversion problem I've had with my Audio Converter Pro program, though usually it only happens with mag audio for some reason (when converting wav files to mp3). I re-converted the file at a higher rate and those burps should be gone. In any case, this is a remarkably clean cue. There are a couple of cues that suffered from broken and then repaired discs, but even in those cases I think you will agree the fidelity is remarkable.
I've changed the cue name just in case you had the old file in your temp memory.

I'm greatly looking forward to this. I haven't seen the film in 15 years, but a soundtrack release would get me to visit it again.
This holiday season is a great time to view this fascinating film that was intended to be ultra contemporary to 1944 and gives off a sometimes other-worldly wartime glow with magnificent cinematography by Lee Garmes and Stanley Cortez and the gorgeous Oscar-winning score that is so lush and lovely (with one of the grandest Steiner waltz melodies) and a real treat for anyone wanting a Max Steiner sequel score (of sorts) to "Gone with the Wind"!
