The only thing that I found lacking in the McNeely is the performances of the main theme, which of course are a problem in every single release of this score, for one reason or another. All the other underscore is done really well, so it's strange.

I didn't buy it, but i don't label myself a "film score connoisseur" either.
I lean toward the Laurie Johnson album.
When I saw this comment from OnyaB, I thought, "hey, I haven't listened to that re-recording in years, but isn't the tempo just a little too poky, too short etc. etc.?" (I first had it on vinyl in the 80's, and picked up the CD pretty much as soon as I got a player - it was the only game in town for my first favorite Herrmann score.)
I've just given it a listen on Spotify and I must say it holds up better than I remember, even given some distortion, instrumental balance and performance issues. It really is a terrific summation of the score - at about the same length as the original Mercury Vertigo album, which is also a great program.
I wouldn't trade it for the Intrada or the recent McNeely recording, but I'm glad I still have it and it's a good take on the score.

Screen Archives still has it. Just ordered, but you never know with them.

There are also some copies available on Amazon. Click Roadshow's link above and you'll find Intrada's version listed as well, with some used and new copies available for about 20 smackers.
