I am genuinely thrilled to see this one out at last, I've been banging on about Islands in the Stream for years (on and off)!
Cheers

Just one question, from listening to the clips and remembering the music in the film: Is the cue that accompanies the shark approaching the boys while they're swimming included in this release? It begins as a light-hearted tropical piece and then grows progressively more intense as they spot the fin of the shark, and Eddie tries to shoot it before it gets to the kids. This is a terrific cue, but I didn't spot it in the clips...
I believe it falls within "Is Ten Too Old?" You'll notice that the re-recording of said cue is 2:51, while in this release it is 4:09.

I've enjoyed the original tapes for so long and it's been so hard not to be able to share it - until now. I'd made a CDR about five years ago and was blown away by the condition of the tapes and the great sound. So, I knew the tapes were in primo shape. As far as I know, the music on the CD is the complete score.

All of Goldsmith's music heard in the film is on the CD. As you'll read in the booklet a couple of the order of the scenes in this sequence were switched around after scoring.

Never cared for the re-recording, and I love the score, totally pumped, just made my weekend.
Totally Agreed, one of my fave Goldsmith scores, but always found it hard to listen to the re-recording.
The long wait is over !
Thanks to everyone involved.

Hmmm.....
There's a handful of Goldsmith soundtracks on my current wish list, and this title has been one of them for a long time (mostly because my Goldsmith collection is too bombastic, so I need more calm stuff). However, what I've always desired is the rerecording, for reasons you all know. Now my dilemma is that the preferred Intrada is pricey and hard-to-find, while this alternative one is now widely available and affordable.
But for those of you who know both, how would you compare them in regard to sound quality and performance, specifically (Intrada will obviously always have an advantage in musical presentation)?
Thor, Intrada's issue is not "pricey and hard-to-find", it has never been out of print....

I don't care for the performance or the audio quality of the Intrada disc. Of course, I have not heard the original soundtrack except in the film, where it is outstanding, so I would go with the OS.

To the guys at FSM and all involved: Thanks for such a wonderful release!
To Thor: Yes, the intrada release is readily available. I think it's still available on their site. That said, with this release I will be getting rid of the (in my opinion) far inferior re-recording. If you want my copy of it, it's yours, free of charge. Drop me a line at caavis@gmail.com and let me know.
Cheers,
Chris.

There is no comparison between the two - the original soundtrack wins in every department - every note of this score is fantastic, as is its presentation and sound. The sound, in fact, will blow you away with its clarity. The re-recording simply doesn't hold a candle to it, and, in fact, has some really sketchy orchestral playing on it. It was fine for when it was the only game in town, though.

BTW, the re-recording is also not so very well performed: Goldsmith did the recording in just one day with an Hungarian orchestra and while the playing is decent, sometimes you can hear some flubs and errors in the performances (the French horns are out of tune in several spots).
