I only wish the "Heres To the Prof of Geology" source song was included. I just made a rip from the DVD since it wasnt on the CD.

I'd think this sounds even better, remastered in the new Herrmann Box.

You've heard it? How's that possible? Didn't I just read it's not released yet.
That's why I wrote I'd think, & not, it sounds better. What a stupid post.

Nice to know I'm not the only one.
I love this score. I wrote elsewhere that I'm not a Herrmann die-hard, but this is definitely my Herrmann "gateway drug". I saw Journey when I was 10 (at one o'clock in the morning). It wasn't until fifteen years after I saw North by Northwest that I realized who Hermmann was and that he had also scored Journey. And then I found out about that whole Psycho thing... 
This is a score where my favorite bits have changed over the years as my listening tastes have changed (matured?), but I always find new favorite bits. Atlantis and Underworld Ocean have been the contenders for a while now.

When I was 12 years old, "Journey to the Center of the Earth" was the greatest film ever made.....well, in this 12 year old's opinion, anyway!
The movie was a massive hit, and was held over for a month in our town. So, I got to see it many times. There was also the Dell comic book to read.
I always loved the score too, but sadly, there was no soundtrack album at the time.
Only the EP with the Pat Boone songs, plus one extra song, not used in the movie.
I bought the Herrmann Phase 4 LP with the Suite when that eventually came out, and of course, eagerly snapped up the Varese release.
A great, great score that will always remain one of my top ten favourites.

An all time favorite film of mine, I saw it when I was 12, & would have killed to have had that Dell Comic. I have an English quad film poster framed on my wall. I'm happy with my old Varese CD soundtrack. The mountain top & sunrise cue sounds much better on Herrmann's Phase 4 recording, it sounds a bit fudged on the original, like ther's a bad edit there. Just waiting for a great looking Blu-ray.

Love the film.
"Here's to the Prof" is based on a Scottish student's song from the nineteenth century -- the writers did their homework. Curiously though the song was replaced in the original UK version by a Latin hymn (since the other songs in the film were also deleted, it seems Fox thought Brits were too uppity for musical interludes).

"Here's to the Prof...." was certainly in the movie when I first saw it on it's original UK release.
I used to sing it all the time !
That's good to hear. My (erroneous) information came from the laserdic, which included the alternate (supposedly British) takes.
As for the full "Twice as Tall", I could be wrong but I don't think it ever made the final cut ... and "The Faithful Heart" was reduced to a snatch on the raft.

I thought Arlene Dahl was the only snatch on the raft

I wonder if that short (perhaps 15 seconds), but wonderful and grand piece of music, played during the added end title thanking Carlsbad Caverns and the US Department of the Interior, is on the new Herrmann box set.....
I first heard it at the end of THE SNOWS OF KILIMANJARO and loved it, and in JOURNEY, of course, it was in stereo.
Here's hoping.
Incidentally, one day I will take photos and post them of the three original matte paintings I have for JOURNEY---one, a scenic of the volcano in the distance, another as the voyagers look down into the mouth of the volcano, and another (I think unused) of a master shot of the underground Atlantis city. They're each about 3 x 6 feet, so are quite large, and painted on masonite, presumably by Emil Kosa, Jr.

Wow. How on earth did you get hold of those?
