Great news! I love this score!
Saw the movie when was a kid.
I even cried when B.O.B. died!
It was funny when I showed the movie to my wife (which is 7 years younger than I) and she tought I was crazy to like it...

Shame this isn't limited as I could have ordered 4 and made a killing.
Also, why were people asking for 2 disc? The film is only 97 mins long.

Excellent release and immediatly ordered (with a couple of Schifrin CDs, 'The Mean Season' and 'Sky Riders'.
This release of John Barry's 'The Black Hole' shows that we should never give up hoping for the music that we love regardless of what is being said about rights, masters etc.
Thanks for this one, Intrada and Disney!

They wanted the 'album program' on disc 2. Thank god Intrada didn't do that.
The track times on this release seem to match the same times on my iTunes release which is the Album Program no?
So they wanted something like the new GORKY PARK?
Speaking of the iTunes release....
According to Randy Thornton (producer of numerous Disney film score and theme park releases), John Barry's terrific and long-unavailable soundtrack LP (and never before legitimately issued on CD) for Disney’s 1979 science fiction adventure, The Black Hole, will be included in the next batch of iTunes-only releases from Walt Disney Records coming on January 16th.
Thornton also provides some insight into the original digital recording and subsequent transfer for iTunes:
"Now before someone cries foul, I will explain the status of “The Black Hole Soundtrack”. Though this was the first digitally recorded soundtrack, the digital technology of 1979 is not compatible with digital technology of today (or even 1982 when CDs were introduced). This soundtrack was recorded with 4bit resolution at 32kHz sampling, thus making a pure digital release not only impossible, but any attempt to upsample or convert them would result in a recording far worse than the analog conversion that was done at the time.
The reason it has taken me so long to get this soundtrack re-released is that I wanted to make absolutely sure that there was no way I could use the original digital recordings. I also couldn’t include more of John Barry’s score than was originally released – as the album, as it stands, is all that was legally cleared for release. I did, however, hunt down the original analog transfer from 1979, digitally transferred and restored at 24/96 and re-created the album’s original content. I know some of you more ‘passionate’ will still be disappointed, but there is nothing more anyone could do. Still, even at the iTunes 128kbs compression, the album has never sounded better!"

This was the only movie I was embarrassed by when I took a date to it.
I was going to see it on my 14th birthday in 1983*, but Herbie Goes Bananas was held over for a day so I ended up seeing that instead.
How was the "Herbie" score?
Intrada, what are the chances of a "Herbie" box?

Now it´s proven: thank goodness he was wrong about that recording. I cannot write it often enough: I´ve said it all the times and was right: The tapes turned up, could be played back, mixed anew for everone to be heard in pristine quality at Intradas website.
