I would love the complete film edit of the end credits as a bonus track. The Warehouse straight into the Raiders Theme. I think it's wonderful.
then you'll get it like this

as long as we get a film mix and the 2 cues separated than I'm perfectly fine
cross-mixes are a thing of the past (unless appearing like this in the film)
THE LOST WORLD did it very good and some other newer releases also did it nicely - ALIEN 3 - with a perfect little space between merged cues

I'm curious how something like that happens - with the wrong pitch. I can't think of another release where this happened. Maybe it's more common than we know.
If tapes are transferred "wild" without using the sync pilot tone, it can happen. I've rejected transfers that weren't resolved and had them re-done because the speed was off. If it's something like a 1/4" tape, which doesn't have sync, it's possible the unit it was played on was mis-calibrated.
For an upcoming project I had to have tapes moved from one facility to another to accommodate my need for the tapes to be played back properly. Maybe they thought I was being a pain, but if you start with a bad foundation (a poor transfer) nothing after it will get it right.

Thanks for the information, Neil. It sounds like there could be multiple reasons for the pitch problem. Ultimately, it needed someone a little more knowledgeable about the transfer, or at least that quality control oversight similar to what you mention. All that cleanup and remastering of the sound and they were working with a foundational problem.
Couple that with the fact that the total runtime of Concord's Raiders soundtrack is 74 minutes, than I think the real issue is more practical. Isn't that around the limit that a CD can hold music before things get wacky?
I believe there have been quite a few releases from our labels where they hit the 78 minute mark on a disc and there have been no issues.

So, I was wondering
Why did Neal look into this thread?
Is it becaurse he is actually working on it but cannot tell?  - or was he just random looking
anyway I hope for no cross-mixing of short cues - give us the option to choose how we want to hear the score presentation

It's frustrating isn't it...
How such important scores as the Indiana Jones scores, and the Star Wars scores, and most of the James Bond scores, for that matter, remain immune from the kind of treatment they deserve.
How all we can have is editions with issues.
Just imagine what someone like La-La Land records could do with those if they got the ability to.
I pray, probably in vain, to the soundtrack Gods it may happen one day.
Cheers

Paramout still owns the right to the original films, but Walt Disney Records currently has the rights to the scores, and have since reissued the Concord set digitally.
