That may well be the case but what has 40 years of Industry experience got to do with you comprehending these posts ass about?

Did George get out of bed on the wrong side or something? I've seen some daft arguments on this board over the years but I don't know if I've ever seen anyone try to start one out of nowhere big grin With respect to your years of expertise George, I think you can stand down sir. It's all good. (Although the Decca does sound rubbish thanks to the noise reduction.... just my opinion.)

Glad Intrada have been able to make this available again. (Albeit for a short window... hopefully not long until the next one) As others have said, Mike did an amazing job in being able to create a natural sounding mix from the three channels.

On the subject of Man Against Beast... as far as I know the flub is heard in the film by mistake. They used the wrong take in the dvd mix I think, so it's not really the film take. maybe.... someone can correct me on that perhaps

I would hate to to try to "correct" a man as BIG as Jim T. Wilson regarding flubber, so I'll agree with him on the sound of the Decca release. It sounds like it was taped off my neighbour's telly, through the wall, with the cassette player microphone wrapped in a duvet.

If I remember correctly, the Decca release was created by folding down to 2-track the 5.1 mix for the film that had liberal amounts of reverb and noise reduction applied. For the Intrada release Mike went back to the original 3-track masters.

I've got over 40 years of experience* of listening to the JAWS score via various options, using my super attuned ears and incredibly good judgement (I won't mention my handsome good looks too).
And it's never sounded better than the Intrada 2 disc edition that Mike Matessino remastered.
A truly sonic spectacular experience after the cracks and pops of the LP and the muddy waters of the disappointing Decca expansion.
It's gonna be my go-to version to the end, I imagine.
And I also imagine there have been many engineers in many industries who were just bang average, or not even very good.
Not everyone is top notch.

Wow! Yet another thread starts getting spiteful, from I can read, for absolutely no reason whatsoever (in fact there is never reason to get spiteful).

It’s been very clear to me for years that the Decca product was seriously flawed. It never sounded good. Intrada blew that away with a brilliant release. To me the sound of that cd is as close to fantastic as you can get. THE only way to listen to the Jaws score.

Listening to it again now and it is amazing how good Mike was able to make it sound.
Clean and powerful with great detail.
