I agree -- the original performance, under Moross' own baton, can't be beat.
Only if you one of the poor souls who can't get past the original soundtrack recording is always THE BEST thing since sliced bread mindset.
The SILVA recording is outstanding and on a sonic level vastly superior to the mono OST.
This isn't to say that the OST isn't a wonderful performance,but somethings IMHO are better on the SILVA edition then the OST.

The flaws are subjective
As I stated, the only folks who have a problem are those who can't get past the notion that the OST is always the best...
Dana provides a prime example of such a person.

The only thing about your posts that irritates me (their content being otherwise basically irrelevant) is that you insist on stating your highly subjective opinions as though they were somehow factual. Maybe when you grow up you will learn the difference. IMHO, of course. 
Thank you for keep on proviing my point about your close-minded opinions and views.
I'm the one keeping an open mind about new recordings, not you.

This debate always rears its head every few years, and I'm not sure why people can't agree to disagree. I prefer the original because I do. It's as simple as that. Just like I am perfectly content with Silva's rerecordings of RAISE THE TITANIC, ROBIN AND MARION, and WALKABOUT, as examples...and feel no compelling need for the original tracks on those. I prefer Morgan and Stromberg's TREASURE OF SIERRA MADRE to the original tracks. In this particular case I prefer the original BIG COUNTRY.

Your entitled to your opinion.
But, I tend to be vastly more open on such topics and I"m happy to be like that then as close-minded as some are.

As you may have forgotten, Ford, I was trying to "agree to disagree" as Roger suggests, when you popped out of your coffin, uninvited, to pot-shot me once again.
My comment to Thor (not you) was:
"You enjoy your Silva treat and we'll enjoy the original, and we'll all be happy, won't we?"
You just couldn't let that be, could you? I wasn't talking to you or about you, and it had nothing to do with you at all. Are you so starved for any kind of attention at all that you'll deliberately start something, even though you always end up showing your ass by the time it's all over? If you want to be pitied as a pathetic loser, fine with me, but please leave me out of it entirely, okay?
