Incidentally, have any of my fellow UK based collectors received their copy yet?
Mitch
Hey Mitch, yes, mine arrived direct from LLL on 29th July.
Cheers

Anybody know if the CD is available to purchase anywhere in the UK? I saw it at Elite Soundtracks but they don't have the best of reputations.
Or did anybody by chance acquire 2 copies and has one for sale?
Thanks
Tom

Why not just order if from LLL records? It cost me £26 including postage and arrived in a week.
Or, by now you can get it from European stores like Chris' Soundtrack Corner.

Finally made sense of all the differences from the LP -
01 - Somewhere in Time - edited version of Total Dismay
02 - The Old Woman - exactly the same as the LP except the 2 themes are reversed on the film version
04 - A Day Together is the End Credits (Unused/Alternate)
06 - Is He The One - exactly the same as the LP except the 2 themes are reversed on the film version
Also tracks 20 & 21 ARE previously unreleased, track 16 is not.
Yes indeed, all this was noted on the first page of the thread.
Excellent release.

By the way — and this is NOT a complaint but merely an observation — you may notice that the last track on the CD, Finale and End Credits, is in mono and not quite up to the same sound quality as the other tracks.
I'm assuming that this must have been transferred from a different source to the rest of the CD.
The fact no one has yet noticed this or commented on it, however, shows what a brilliant job Mike did.
Cheers

Hello everyone. Brand new board member. I went searching for a film score message board because I just received my copy of the expanded SIT soundtrack and I wanted to be among those who would appreciate it with me!!!
I have waited for YEARS for this expanded score. YEARS of witnessing some of the most random soundtracks get the royal treatment and YEARS of wondering "Why in the world have they not done the same for SIT???" The 1998 re-recording helped fill the gaps but alas.. it was not the original. When I finally got my weekly email of recent releases and saw SIT on it my jaw hit the floor.
But I digress...
It's packaged wonderfully and finally I have those missing cues I've always wanted to have on CD. Yes I too thought the same thing about the final track not sounding as crisp as the rest but I have to assume when they dug it up, that's the best condition it was in - besides the movie itself was released in mono anyway. It's the same track that's used in the original trailer and the quality sounds the same as well.
In any case, I'm happy to be here and I enjoyed reading through all the comments.

Is there a reason you put track 20, the alternate Rhapsody as sixth in the sequence? I hear virtually little to no difference from the final take except for a slightly different subtle ending. Was that merely because you didn't want to post the same Rhapsody track twice?

I know this score is regarded as a classic, and it is a very beautiful score (the end title brought a tear to my eye!) but even for John Barry who, god love him, drilled themes into the ground...this is a lot. There are several cues that sound exactly the same, with the same themes over and over.
Only the last few tracks offer some real variety. I don't mind monothematic scores or even reprisals but at least throw in a key change or a deceptive cadence or new motif to shake things up.
I would agree, however it's certainly not unusual to have a film score's main them making an appearance in a number of tracks. What is unique about this score, which adds to the repetitiveness of it, is that the tracks probably should be broken out individually before they then segue to the main theme. Since a lot of tracks do that it definitely can sound repetitive. However as I look over this score (excluding the play music and car jazz, etc) there are 15-16 totally original cues (some shorter then others of course) and that is actual a healthy amount for one film score.
