I’m so excited to see this release happen, and I’m excited to see others excited for it as well! I think we went through a great decade of Rozsa renaissance but it has quieted down quite a bit. The release of this fantastic score should really help to bring in some new listeners, I hope. I’m young - but I don’t want to be the only young guy to sing the praises of Rozsa!
I'm 25 and absolutely adore Rozsa. However, as I mentioned earlier, I'm quite content with the original recording for King of Kings (of course, I might pick it up at a later date).

I'm 34 (wow...dunno if that still counts as "young"?) and have loved Rozsa since I was a child in the 90s thanks to Ben-Hur and the Thief of Bagdad...

Age has nothing to do with anything as far as I'm concerned. I was 12 years old when I got my dad to buy me the Golden Voyage of Sinbad soundtrack LP. I already knew who he was from all the biblical epics etc., that I watched at grandma's and my uncle's compilations of epic film music. Add to that I discovered how much I liked Herrmann's work in the Harryhausen films even earlier.

Golden Voyage, much as I liked it, always sounded to me like it was recorded in a biscuit tin.

....and at least it was a shortbread tin

I do remember being slightly disappointed in Golden Voyage compared to 7th Voyage. Whatever the recording issues, the second simply doesn't hold a candle to the first. I suppose this is Herrmann vs Rosza territory, but I love scores by both, so for me it's just about these two.
To be honest I think Herrmann simply nailed it with Harryhausen scores. No one else really comes close, good as they are.

I just listened to the complete film score for Golden Voyage. Wonderful score but ugh!, that recording. Would love to see Tadlow tackle this one.

An instant purchase.

I cannot be the only one frustrated by the lack of forthcoming information on this release.
A lot of people contributed towards making this important recording happen. Some paying a LOT more than I did.
This was 3 years ago and the decline in James' health not withstanding that is a long time to wait.
In his liner notes on all his recordins he (James) always is at pains to thank all his team for their contributions. Can members of his team not take up the challenge and get this released or at least let us know what is happening.
I do not like having to make these comments and I sincerely wish James well asap but like him when this project began I too was healthy and financially comfortable, now my time is running out. So please someone make it happen perhaps for Easter!
