I already have CDs of Walk On The Wild Side and Baby The Rain Must Fall (via Mainstream), The Caretakers (the original tracks via Varese), The Carpetbaggers (both the original tracks and the LP version via Intrada) and To Kill A Mockingbird (the Varese re-recording conducted by Bernstein). Is there a legitimate reason to double dip?
Any reason to double-dip has to be based on your own values, not mine. Improved quality is a probable good reason.

It cost me a whopping $47.99!
Yeah same for me — international postage.
It's still only $8 per LP even with that postage, which is pretty good really, isn't it.

Does anybody know about the difference between this version of To Kill A Mockingbird and the one in the Elmer Bernstein Film Music Collection? I gather that neither are the original film versions, but are they the same thing, or different takes? If different, does anybody know details?

They are both re-recordings as far as I know, but not the same. The recording in the FMC collection is with a different orchestra, if I recall, as I don't think Elmer licensed the recording done for Ava Records for release on his label back in the '70's.
And there is also the Varese release that Elmer conducted.
What is the definite version of To Kill A Mockingbird? It looks like this new Intrada release is incomplete compared to other releases.
Yeah, if they are all re-recordings, this one looks to be older than the FSM by 10-17 years based on the years given for each collection. And the varese is even newer still. So is the excitement generated by this release simply because its always better to get even more of a classic film score like Mockingbird, or is this re-recording the best?

"Best" is a subjective term. This re-recording was done closer to the time of the film's release and includes players who performed on the film sessions, so for some Bernstein fans this makes it "best", or closer to the original. I am looking forward to hearing this and comparing to the other recordings, after which I can figure out which one is best for me.

For the great improvement in sound, and the best version of "TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD"-that should be reason enough I would think.
If there weren't other CDs still to be added to my collection (Bernstein's True Grit, Goldsmith's Sebastian, Mancini's Breakfast At Tiffany's to name just three) then maybe a double dip would be considered for "sound improvement" but rather than spend money on things I already have a legitimate version of, I think I'd rather spend my money on things I don't already have.
