But are we simply retreading that often trodden path of “But what I really want is...” and taking the spotlight away from what could be an opportunity to rejoice that a label has embarked on a new recording of a score that hasn’t been released in full before?
Chris
Yes, it is as annoying, rude, and counterproductive as it is predictable.
NK
Annoying and rude it may be...and I'm certainly no angel when it comes to this issue. But counterproductive? I'm not so sure about that -- if it keeps bumping this thread about Quartet's new recording to the top of the board, I'd say it is probably a positive impact on Quartet's sales if anything.

Ok you've made me curious: what flaw is that, Roger? (And is there any chance of an expanded/complete release of this version of the score?)
Yavar
The cue The Knife repeats the alternating chords of the end of The Murder rather than the descending chords that sort of mimic the motion of falling down the stairs in the original composition. No idea why he changed that. I was talking to Universal about expanding this with UMG just a few weeks ago. So keep your fingers crossed.

Of course you are assuming that discussions about the actual topic of the thread will not be enough to keep the topic current. And it is easy to bump a thread without changing the topic, if you want to cheerlead sales.
I'm not expecting any changes from those relatively few on this board who give lip service to a fabulous new release before immediately trying change the subject to what they want next. But I will vent from time to time. And according to you, I may have just helped sell a few more copies!

I will -- that's a most exciting prospect! Is there any hope/possibility of perhaps a bonus 2nd disc with the original Psycho film recording, in whatever state it survives? (I gather the sound might be less than ideal, so maybe it would work better as 2nd disc than on its own). Or is that something still tied up by Stylotone or whatnot?
It's not as if there isn't precedent for this sort of twofer, with LLL's neat combo of both the original and remake scores for The Miracle on 34th Street.

Oh, I don't assume that at all! I just think every little bump helps, and that the speculation/requests don't actually risk hurting the sales of this fine release, but only result in giving it more prominence and attention. I certainly hope that *after* people receive their discs, there is actual discussion about the music (much of which will never have been heard before except by those at Herrmann's original sessions) and recording.

Oh yeah, you're certainly just as entitled to vent about others requesting/speculating as others are to request/speculate, and I do think it helps the thread in the same way. I honestly think it all helps, as long as people don't get negative about this release.

It's a fantastic release.
This plus the suite conducted by Bennie on the Phase Four GREAT HITCHCOCK THRILLERS should satisfy any sane PSYCHO fan..
Brm
P.S. HOPE Intrada releases it as it was never domestically distributed.

Did anyone already receive The Bride Wore Black from Quartet? I ordered it the day it was released but no shipping yet. I am eager to listen to this.
Don't worry about shipping notices.
When I ordered Masquerade, I received the disc first, got the shipping notice second.
Mine was attempted delivery today, like an idiot I chose expedited delivery forgetting that means if I'm not home when they arrive, I have to play the 'while you were out' card game. Pity.
Cheers

I'm receiving my mail-order BRIDE tomorrow!! Youhooooo! There is BH love in the air! 
That is fast service, no?
Not like my SAE order, which I made 3 days prior and they're still wondering if they should send or not.

Interestingly I find the Elfman version of Psycho a near perfect recording of the score both in terms of tempo and orchestral detail. It has one glaring flaw, but otherwise it really is definitive.
That may be so. I blinked and missed the Elfman version and now it seems to be like the rarest CD on the planet, so it's one version I never heard. If it's all you say it is, I want it for sure.
Cheers

Missed it too. I already had two versions. Thought it was enough. 
Also, I resented the fact that on this edition, they didn't feature the Imagine logo bit or the end credits, which is played with electric guitar. That was soooo cool.
